My coding experience at the Cordis Hotel

My coding experience


“Yay! I’m so excited to be here today and have a great opportunity like this” I said to myself.
As we got to our destination at the Cordis Hotel in the city,
there was a lady named Sarah who welcomed us and led us into our coding room.
“Wow!, the room is big and is full of cords and laptops!”
From what I could see, today was going to be very fun and exciting.
The first thing we did was we sat on the mat and there was a guy named Michael,
who talked to us about what we were going to be learning.
Then Me, Melianna, and Ferah did rock, paper, scissors, to see who got to talk on the radio
which unfortunately didn’t happen in the end.
We learnt how to code and we also learnt how to make a Ghostbusters game.
We used an app called Scratch. I had used the app before, but I had never made a game 
using it.
We had to do all sorts of things like choosing a background, choosing a Sprite/ Sprites (Character/s)
and also picking out some cool music. The theme I had gone for in my GhostBusters game was to be
spooky and scary at the same time. It was pretty cool to play around with the app and we 
also had
instructions which made everything a whole lot easier. Everything was quite interesting
because it was nice to learn some new things with different people.
Speaking of different people, we got to meet some people from many different countries. 
These specific countries were also known as the D5.
The D5 consists of five countries which are:
South Korea, New Zealand, Estonia, Israel, and the United Kingdom.
There were also camera people videoing us and taking photos of us.
When most people completed their game, some of the girls presented their work to the rest of
the class.
The point of the game was to capture the Ghostbuster/s and when you catch them/ it , you score points.
It was so much fun at the cordis hotel and I would love to go back there again!

R.E: Jesus' values and the role of the disciples today

Jesus: His values and the role of the disciples today


Who is Jesus To me?
Jesus is my saviour because he sacrificed his life for us- Died on the cross.
Jesus is also my leader because he teaches us to do good deeds to others and to
also accept others for who they are- how they are.


What are values?
Values are standards that we should follow and obey. They are also morals that we need to live by.


What are Jesus’ values?
Jesus’ values are to show love to one another and to do good deeds. To also follow the ten commandments.


Do your values align with Jesus?
My values don’t exactly align with Christ’s values because at times, I can get tempted to do the wrong things at the wrong time.
Sometimes my values and morals can align with Jesus but, we all make mistakes and that’s what makes life great.


What is a disciple?
A disciple is a follower of Jesus.


What are the roles of today's disciples?
To “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel”


How do you live as a disciple of Jesus?
To be a follower of Jesus and do the right things and to not sin


The Beatitudes:


Matt 5: 1-12

All about me


Last week, we were learning about "All about me". We created a google drawing about ourselves and from this, we got to learn more about each other. This is my poster 'All about me'.
