The 8 Contributions

We have been learning about the 8 contributions from the St. Francis of Assisi Peace Prayer. We broke down the prayer and found out that there were contrasts in the prayer, for example "... injury, pardon." 

During this lesson, I found that thinking of my reflection at the end of each contrast was hard, because each of the contributions were similar so it was hard to think of the differences between them.

I have learnt that I can be an instrument of peace for God by using all of the positive and good contributions; love, pardon, union, truth, faith, hope, light and joy in my life.

What is Conservation?

In our classroom we have been learning about conservation week. In this slideshow we will explain what conservation week is.

Mele and I found out that finding the information and putting it into our own words was quite hard. Although we enjoyed picking the music for our slideshow. We used stupeflix to create this.

Spain

I have been learning some general information about Spain and their relation to the Olympics. I have learnt that Spain joined the Summer Olympic Games on the year 1900. Spain has joined every Summer game starting from the year 1948 to 2016.

Spain

Spain is in the continent of Europe. Some people may mistake it to also be in Africa as it is close. There are currently 46, 121, 699 people living in a 195, 356mi². The central capital city in Spain is Madrid. Madrid is an elegant city with neatly trimmed parks like Buen Retiro. Spain has a diverse geography and climate which results in a lot of native animals, sadly about 227 of these are endangered species. Some native species that you would find are deer, wild goats, tortoises, bats, snakes and small amphibians.

Spanish Cuisine

Some famous dishes in Spain are Paella (which is a rice based dish with some type of meat usually chicken), green beans, vegetables and a mix of seafood. Croquettes are small breadcrumbed fried rolls that have either creamy cheese, spicy sausage or another type of meat in it. Some other famous Spanish dishes are tortilla espanola and leche frita (also known as fried milk). The traditional cuisine of Spain usually consists of rice, fried eggs, fried banana, tomato sauce and a cuttlefish or squid.

Languages Spoken in Spain

The languages that are spoken in Spain are; spanish, english, latin american spanish, galician portuguese, basque, occitan and catalan. Five of these are the main languages; spanish (castilian), basque (euskarian), aranez, calan and alician.

Religion

In Spain there is a freedom of religion which means that you don’t need to have the same religion as your neighbour. The most practised religion is Catholicism (73.8% of people are Catholic). Other religions that are practiced are Islam, Judaism, Protestantism Christianity and Hinduism.

Olympics

This year in the Olympics Spain is participating in; archery, beach volleyball, basketball, rowing, tennis, rugby sevens, boxing, table tennis, water polo, shooting, handball, field hockey and swimming. Overall, Spain has won a total of 133 medals during the history of the Modern Olympic Games. The first year that Spain first started competing in the Olympic Games was the year 1900. In that same year, they won their first gold medal.

I found that putting my research into properly formed sentences was challenging, but using Prezi to make my report more enjoyable was fun to do. My next step is to use scientific words or more complex words in my report writing and to find different and interesting ways to present my work. 

During my research I wasn't able to find the most popular athlete in Spain that compete's in the Olympic Games. I would also like to know why they joined the Olympics on the year 1900 instead of any other year.
