Year 8's On Retreat!!! :)

Describing My Mom :)

My mom is wonderful to me because she always cares for me, she always make me smile and she loves me until the end of time.

My mom has pale skin, she has freckles on her face (but you can’t really see it on her face).  Her height is short and she is round.  My mum’s name is Elizabeth Ierei Timu and is she a Cook Islander.  My mom goes to university in Auckland. She goes to AUT University.  Sometimes my mom have to go to the shore because of the university she goes too.  My mom gave life to my brother and I.  My lovely mother really loves this K-Pop group named “Super Junior.”  My mum drives a car. My mum is a great cook. Sometimes my mom can get really angry but then she changes into a caring lady.  My mom can have heaps of fun.

Everyday I love my mum and I will never stop loving her.

The Holy Spirit :)

This week we are learning about the Holy Spirit. We did a brainstorm about us knowing the Holy Spirit.

ANZAC Letter To The Sick :)

Dear Aurora, Hola, Joshua and Valensia.

Today the whole school celebrated ANZAC Day. First we had mass. It was the whole school mass. Some parents were there. We all have to sit next to our soul friends. It was a good mass. After mass we had our liturgy. It was short but amazing. 

Some parents came and we had some visitors some the RSA (Returned and Services Association). We gathered around the grotto. Some people were holding the New Zealand flag, others were holding a vase full of water and flowers, some other people were holding a picture of a lemon squeezer ( A lemon squeezer is a hat, not an actual lemon squeezer.)

The others were just standing around the grotto. I was helping Salote with the music. I forgot to tell you guys that we had our poppies with us. We listened to this music called “The Last Post.” We were all silent. After that we read the oath.

 After reading the oath we all sang the national anthem. After singing the national anthem we all went back to our class. Mr. Hooker came to visit us. (Mr. Hooker is our old teacher.) You guys are missing out on the sausage sizzle. 

Take care! :)

Farewell Halamehi...

To: Halamehi

I remember the times when you were there for me through my many tears you helped me really seethat you are always there for me.

You stood close to me like a friend, there for me until the end.I will never forget you, the things you helped me through, I saw my inspiration, it is you, you were always there when I needed you, I now will always have great memories of you.

You would ask me "how are you?" I would say "I'm fine" as tears start to form in my eyes, you always knew that I was really not fine.

You are someone that I want to be like, I found out who that person is, that person is you. I hope that you remember me through your days, you have touched my heart in so many ways.

I look up to you and I see a ray of sunshine shining in on me. I knew God sent me one of his angles when he sent you to me. 

You help through it all coming to save me every time I fall. If I could say one word that wouldn't tell it all.

I can't thank you enough.Farewell. Take care. Be safe! :)

P.S - I hope you have a great in Australia Halamehi!!!

Going To Pt. England To See The Hokulea!!!! :3

Today was a really fun productive day! We went to Pt. England Reserve to see the Hokulea. I was very overwhelmed. Before we got to the Pt. England Reserve the seniors have to walk because there was only one bus. The juniors went inside the bus. When I found out we have to walk. I got really angry.

Why I got angry? Because we have to walk, I am not fit at all. Room 1, 3 and 4 went inside the bus and room 5, 6 and 7 walked to Pt. England. It was very hard. I was so tired, I hate walking. It was a long walk. When we got there, there were heaps of childrens and different schools. Luckily enough we get to meet the navigators of the Hokulea. We all hi-fived them.

It was very beautiful. People were singing and there were speeches. Too bad it finished. When the ceremony finished we all stood up and get to meet the navigators of the Hokulea. After that we all sat down and divided the class. This time it was room 5, 3, 4 and 1 that get to go on the bus while room 6 and 7 have to walk.

We were walking half way through the park until Mr Gaffney came running down to us. We all stopped and wondered why is he here. He told us that there was a bus for us. We were happy. We were jumping around. Then we walked to the bus, sat on the seats and enjoyed the ride. When we arrived at school it was morning tea. I was so tired, so I slept. But I didn't sleep for the whole day. What a fun productive day!
