Mary was the first to hear and believe that God would do what he promised the world.

Kia Ora everyone and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my presentation on All Saints and All Souls day. Last week in RE we learnt about All Saints and All Souls day. All Saints’ Day is celebrated on November 1st to remember all saints and martyrs during Christian history. It is followed by All Souls’ Day on November 2nd to commemorate those who have passed within the faith.

For our All Saints task we had to select one Saint that the church honours on All Saints Day and research into this Saint. I chose Saint Patrick because we share the same name and I know a lot of things about him. For our All Souls day task we had to select one of the Catholic practices in the above text or find your own and research further into this practice. Find the belief behind this practice and why they celebrate the way they do.

Here is my create task, I hope you enjoy it and be filled with new knowledge after you read it. Goodbye! Who is your favorite saint?

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog. Today in PBL we learnt about Racism in the Olympics. We looked at 3 athletes. Jesse Owens, Tommie Smith and John Carlo.

For our create task we had to fill out a google drawing about either the Tommie Smith and John Carlo situation or the Jesse Owens situation. I did it with my friend Campbell. We then had to answer these questions?

Why is it important we stand up for groups of people that have been unfairly treated? Because they went through a lot and we don’t have the future to generate to be like that.

How have the Olympic Games helped and/or hindered athletes of colour? They have been racist on not fair to people of color.

What is fairness and how can we promote it in sport? Maybe we could by treating people equally and remembering that at the end of the day we are all humans.

Here is my create task, I hope you enjoy it. Do you think that racism is fair?
