Rosary... What's that?

Rosary

WALT: Understand the Rosary.

What are they for?

The Rosary, is used, as a way to pray, in the Catholic Church.
The purpose of the Rosary, is to recall events in the lives of, Jesus, and Mary.

When do you say the Mysteries and what are they?

There are 5 different Mysterious. The mysteries divide the events of Jesus’ & Mary’s life in parts.
For example these are the 5 and this is what days you are meant to say them.

Monday - Joyful
Tuesday - Sorrowful
Wednesday - Glorious
Thursday - Luminous
Friday - Sorrowful
Saturday - Joyful
Sunday - Glorious

How you use them?

The beads of the Rosary are used to count the prayers
as you are saying them out loud or in your head.

1. First using the cross on the end of
the Rosary make the sign of the cross.
        
2. The recite the Apostles Creed.

3. Holding the first big bead above
the cross pray the Our Father.

4. Then with the next 3 small beads
you pray Hail Mary with them. This is for faith hope and charity.

5. Recite the Glory Be with the your finger on
the big bead just before the Rosary divides into two.

6. Depending on what day it is you will focus on one mystery.
Find a website that has information about that particular event.
You then say the first event that took place in the mystery and then a Hail Mary.
One person will lead the first half of the prayer and then everyone will join in with the second.

7. Recite the Glory Be.

8. And finish with the Sign of the Cross.

Brief:
You will be learning to make the perfect Peanut Butter Sandwich.

What you will need:

-1xMr Williamson
-1x slice of Couplands Wholemeal sandwich bread
-Sanitarium no added sugar or salt smooth Peanut Butter
-Softened Butter in a bowl
- 2x blue knife
-A big white tray

Procedure:
1. Get Mr Williamson and place his body in front of the tray. (Tell him to follow these next steps)

    2. Take your piece of Wholemeal Sandwich bread and place it on the tray.

   3. Grab your blue knife, scoop the butter out of the bowl with your blue knife and spread it onto half of your piece of Wholemeal Sandwich bread ( This step is to ensure you get the exact ratio of Softened Butter:Peanut Butter). Put down your knife.

  4. Get your second blue knife and unscrew the Peanut Butter lid, place your second blue knife into the Peanut Butter jar, scoop the product out and spread over the other half of the bread, ensuring it is exactly halfway only just touching the Softened Butter.

5. Carefully fold your piece of Wholemeal Sandwich bread in half.

6. Enjoy by getting Mr Williamson to pick the perfect Sandwich up with his fingers and put it in his mouth, close  and use teeth to bite down, repeat and then finally swallow. Repeat this step until your sandwich is all in his stomach.

Conclusion:
You should have made a perfect Peanut Butter Sandwich with the best ratio in town of Peanut Butter:Softened Butter.
And Mr Williamson should have enjoyed it.

Task:

In class we were practising how to write a procedure. We were told that the topic had to be, How To Make A Peanut Butter Sandwich. And it had to be served to Mr Willamson, our student teacher that has joined us for the term.

Feedback:

I would love it if you used my super duper helpful procedure when making your next sandwich:)

Have You Been To Castle Hill?.. If You Haven't, You've Been Living Under A Rock!



In class, we have been told to create a commercial slideshow, or video, describing a country, city, or town. The idea came from a learning site called the Footsteps Challenge. Our teacher Mr Adams has put this together with are homework. This is what I did...

Gymnastics Rules Are Horrible

 Gymnastics Rules Are Horrible



As a step seven gymnast at CSG, (Christchurch school of gymnastics) I do really enjoy gymnastics don’t get me wrong, but I believe, that their are an exceedingly amount of rules and regulations, that are entirely unreasonable. Here is why I think so strongly about this controversy.

The main rule that the gymnastics society complain about, falls at Leotards, AKA Leo’s. We have been compelled to wear Leotards. I mean, have you ever seen a gymnast competing without a leo on? It’s just not fair. Intermittently, we can’t execute our routines, due to how uncomfortable they are. For example wedgies, tight fitting, to heavy, digs in & rides up. Furthermore, if for instance a rhinestone falls off your leo, you get a deduction! As well as, if you pull a *wedgie. You are not allowed to wear shorts either! And, if some type of clothing is showing from underneath, you also get a deduction.

*Pulling a wedgie is a well known gymnastics term meaning if you have a wedgie you pull it down at a time your not supposed too.

Another horrible rule, in the life of a gymnast that we have to tolerate is, Hair and Looks. See now this was never a proven rule, but it doubtlessly occurs. It is cogent, that you will get a much lower score, if your hair is messy, leotard is ugly, or you just don’t look up to scratch. I can assure you with this because I’ve been in this situation myself. Now, my floor routine is not so great and you can tell with the score I’m getting. The judges obviously don’t like my choreography. And that’s another example, if a judge does not like the dance in your routine, they can take as much of 0.1 - … Along with that is if for example a ribbon fell out of your hair you will get a 0.1 deduction. Together with that are nails and earrings. We are not allowed any colour of nail polish as allegedly it is distracting for the judges and hard to focus, along with earrings.

It has been a rule for almost eternity that you’ve been required to present to the judges at the beginning of your routine and at the end. If you don’t present at the end and walk off they will count how many steps you take before you present to them. If you do not present to them at all you will get a 0.00.

In conclusion I hope you will take my concept into consideration of my belief about gymnastics rules. And overall a change of thought.
