Service Poster

 This term's value is Service. Last term it was Faith. 
My success criteria was to 
*use a bible quote
*use a synonym 
*use a definition
*show what service looks like
*make it eye-catchy
*let my imagination run wild.
The best posters get 25 blessing beads and fingers crossed I get those beads!

I found it easy to made it eye catching.

My family and I have been praying this prayer to Mother Mary everyday at 12:00  The Angelus and two decades of the rosary and a prayer composed by Pope Francis, on Wednesday. Here is the prayer if you would like to do the same.

O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross,

to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.

Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

Parihaka Poster

In class for Maatauranga Whakapono (Religous Education) we are learning about Parihaka. Parihaka is a village beside Mount Taranaki. Their chiefs were Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi. They both liked the ways of Jesus and tried to follow them. When the NZ government took them into jail becuse of wanting more land, the Parihaka tribe continued and rebuilt their village. And when the government showed up again, instead of fighting back with weapons, they fought them back with kindness. The soldiers felt bad and no one was killed that day.
I enjoyed reading the story because it was very inspirational and kind.
I found it hard to polyline the feather. The feather is from the albatross bird and it left a feather on top of the marae of one of the chiefs. Albatrosses are birds of mana (spiritual power) and was thought to be a good sign.
