Activity Week Movie

This is a movie that Sonya, Salote and I made, it is about how we did some activities throughout the week.

Enjoy!

Going Sailing!

On a cloudy slightly sunny day, we were getting ready to go sailing. I was so excited but so nervous, we were going to Kohimarama Beach. Since the activity only takes 12 people, we were split up into 2 groups. Group one was the first one to go, they went at 9 in the morning and came back at 12 in the noon. I was in the second group, the second group was the last one to go, we went at 12 in the noon and finished at 3 in the afternoon.

“Is everybody ready?” Questioned Mrs Tui. “Yes!” We all said in union. Group 2 went to room 6 while group one was getting ready to go sailing. While in room 6... “Hurry up time, be faster!” I thought in my head, I was getting really impatient. I kept on looking at the time and counting down how many minutes until we can go. Just after a few minutes after prayers, Mrs. Genie randomly walked in. “Are we going?” I questioned myself. “Okay room 6, go and carry on with your work and the room 7’s, go with Mrs. Genie.” I heard Mrs. Tui. I was so enthusiastic. 

“Get in the van guys.” Commented Mrs. Genie. We went in the van. “My seat belt! I don’t have a seat belt!” I half whispered half shouted. “Here it is.” Lupe remarked. “Thanks.” I replied. We were on our way to go to Kohimarama Beach.

We arrived at Kohimarama Beach, there we saw 5 sailing boats. After seeing the sailing boats, I got nervous. I wanted to run away. Then I heard someone screaming my name. “Ierei!” Sonya yelled, I ran up to her and gave her a huge hug, “Ierei!” Aurora shouted, “Yay!” I yelled, I hugged Aurora really tightly. 

After a few minutes of organising, group one was leaving. It was our turn, I felt butterflies forming in my stomach. Later on we were in our boats, since I was by myself I went with Oscar and the instructor in the motorboat, some point during the day, I went to swap places with Rachel, while I was getting off the boat... “Splash!” I fell in the water, all I could hear was laughter, I was laughing from embarrassment. I finally got in the sailing boat with my new partner which was Alecia.

During the day, Alecia and I were getting good at sailing. We sailed all the way to the shore because we were finishing up. When we arrived at the shore I was super exhausted, I was breathing heavily. We were packing up the sail boats, the girls went to change in the trailer while the boys got changed at the back of the balcony.

After a long tiring day, we went back home. What a wonderful experience!

Kiwi Sport - Touch Reflection

Today for touch it was the couch’s last day, we are having a different couch next week.
We have some warm-ups and drills so that we can use them for our game in the following week. The more we played the more fun we had and more competitive the people get.

Communion of Saints

Boring Holiday~!

The first week of the holiday, yay! But... It wasn’t just a normal holiday, no! I did nothing!

I was in the sitting room by myself, I decided to play some music while doing the dishes in the kitchen. After cleaning, I turned off the music and watched t.v. And Oh my, watching t.v was boring. There was nothing to watch really. I just turned off the t.v and went to my room, since my brother was on the laptop I just daydreamed in my room lying on my bed, my head lying on the soft pillow and being covered by my blanket. I was comfortable and warm. It felt like I was on the clouds, floating in the sky. 

I could feel my eyes getting heavy, cautiously I feel asleep. When I woke up, I went to look up the window and saw the sky. It was still day time, I was pretty shocked because I thought it was going to be night time. I walked over to the sitting room finding my mom there. She was watching t.v. Since there was nothing to do I just plopped onto the couch and just watched t.v with her. I was still bored, I asked my mum to change the channel.

Basically throughout the holidays I did nothing. It was a pretty boring holiday for me.

A Welcoming~!

An Exciting Day~!

18.09.15 Friday
Today was a fun-filling day~!  In the morning we had Grandparents mass, I was so glad that I have invited my Grandparents! After the Grandparents mass we had a special morning tea just for the Grandparents.  The year 8's were hosting it but the sad thing was that only my Nana came not my Grandpa.  I had some biscuits and a cup of tea.  It was delicious~!  There were music playing during our Grandparents morning tea.  

Later on after our actual morning tea, there were the speech competition.  The winners from the years 5,6,7, and 8 get to say their speech in front of the whole school.  All the speeches were amazing and touching.   In the year 7, my classmate Patrick won, in the year 6, Ana-Lei won and in the year 5, Anna-Lisa won.  Out of the year 8, my best friend Aurora won first place~! I was very proud of her~! I kept on hugging her and yelling "You did it~!"

Afterwards we had a sausage sizzle/lunchtime.  I didn't have a sausage sizzle because I had my own lunch.  Then the whole school came together and dance to some music. Some people were inside their classes, for example: Me~! I stayed inside the class, I was listening to my own music, but I wasn't the only one staying inside the class, some of my classmates were inside as well.  It was full of laughter, dancing and singing.  They danced and sang for the whole lunchtime. After then, we all went back to our class and continued with our work.

My highlight for the day was when my best friend Aurora won the speech competition~! I am still proud of her~! My other highlight was when we were dancing and singing because some of my classmates stayed inside the class and I get to listen to my own music~!

But I can't wait till' next week~!!!! 

My Grandparent Invitation~!

3 Parts Of The Sacraments Of Initiation

Tongan Language Week

Why is this picture important?

This picture is important because it is Tongan Language Week and everybody in our school is celebrating it. Room 7 decided to take a picture with the school’s principal wearing Tongan clothes with Room 7 in the picture as well.

Rainbow Fish

The Rainbow Fish

My opinion is that the Rainbow fish should give away all of his scales.

Why should the Rainbow fish give all of his scales?

- So that the Rainbow fish can feel happy.

- That the Rainbow Fish can feel like he is at home.

- That the Rainbow Fish won’t feel lonely

- And that the Rainbow fish can have fun with the other fishes

Overall, I think it is good to share your things with others people, so that everybody can be happy.

Lactio Divina

Dear God,

Please give me the courage to love one another as you love your people

Amen.

________________________________________________

Today for Religious Education, I have been writing a Lactio Divina prayer. Lactio Divina is a traditional prayer and it is a prayerful reading as well. 

Matariki

In room 7, we have been learning about Matariki. This is my understanding of what Matariki means.

God's Creation

God :)

For R.E, we have to draw our hands and write on the palm "God is..." And write what God is. For Example I wrote God is... Loving, Caring, Humble, Forgiving and Holy. :)

Swimming!

For term 2, St Pius X Catholic School was lucky to get a swimming pool.

I am David #2

Again, Room 7 is still reading the book "I am David" and we are on our second piece of art.

The picture that you are looking at is the picture that I created.

My Holy Spirit Prayer

ANZAC Silhouette :)
