Passion Project: Drawing

In term 2, we have been doing passion projects. Our task was to choose a passion of ours and present it in any way we want. We had to choose people and teach them whatever passion we chose. Some people did Slime, Baking, Dance and many more.We had about 6 weeks to plan and create everything. Then after that, we had to present to the whole class or just to some people. I chose drawing and presented to a group of 10. I taught them how to draw a yin yang with designs in it and a rose.

Mother's day poem

🌹Happy Mother's day🌹

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you wash the dirty dishes

And I knew that it’s good to help out

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you making me pancakes for breakfast

So that I didn't go hungry

And I knew that little things, are special

things

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I heard you in the kitchen at night baking

cookies for my class bake sale

And I learnt to put others before myself

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I watched you  and dad

make dinner for our big family

And I learnt multitasking isn't easy

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you wash my dirty clothes

And I knew that it’s good to always be clean

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw you ringing your work to take the day of

For Alyssa because she was sick

And I knew that it’s good to sacrifice for others

When you thought I wasn't looking

I looked…..

And wanted to say Thanks for everything you have

done for me when you thought I wasn't looking

Writing: An Ode To Saint Joseph

An ode to Saint Joseph

O’dearest Saint Joseph,

Your smile lights up like a shooting star,

Your eyes twinkle in the night sky like an everlasting candle,

The way you talk is like music in my ears,

The way you inspired others inspired me more

Born in 90 BC, Bethlehem

Was the husband of Mary and father of Jesus

Worked as a carpenter

Was the only child

Died on July 20th AD in Nazareth,Israel

Feast day is on 19 March

O’Saint Joseph, What was it like becoming a Saint?

What did you have to do to become a saint?

Did you ever imagine that you would become a saint?

Who was your inspiration and role model?

You were a loving father and husband

Your inspiration towards others is a lesson to us all

You truly made the world a better place
