On the 17th of March we celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day and we played sports but first we went to church and Father  useafa talked about the feast day of Saint Patrick’s. 

 

Fast forward mass ended and we went back to school. After the bell rang we went and sat down under the canopy while waiting for Mrs Bullot to announce what team we were in. The games we played were Gumboot Throw, Scatter ball, Sack Race, Hoops and T ball. 

 

Each Team has a name and they are Irish names. I don’t remember the names sadly but one of the names is Lephercun. After Sorting out the teams we had to go to the classes we are assigned to play with. During the game Mrs Bullot Rang the bell so that means we switch to other classes.

 

After a while we finished playing games and we had to go to the canopy to eat ice blocks. They were delicious and I was extremely exhausted and sleepy. I felt like I was going to faint but it was a great and fun day. It was one of the best memories in my entire life.

On The 19th of March Our church had a Jubilee. But first we had a 2 hour mass and we had three priests leading our mass and their names are Father Useafa, Father Murphy and Father Peter. They were talking about Saint Patrick’s Day and also saying how Saint Patrick’s is a lucky school because we have a cemetery near us. 

We also had a Tongan Traditional Tau’Olunga in the middle of mass. It was absolutely beautiful and I admired how there was a baby being carried on a chair by a bunch of men while holding the bible amazingly right. 

Fast Forward mass ended and we made our way to the hall for morning tea and to also watch some Polynesian dances and performed a kapa haka with Saint Patrick’s. It was fun because we didn’t just perform a kapa haka we also sang three beautiful songs.The three songs are Irish Blessing, Mo Maria and Karanga e.

 The communities that performed were the Tongan, Samoan and Filipino communities. All three were delightful and amazing and I loved it. After watching the dances it was time to eat. But the adults had to go first and they took forever. 

The kids had to wait for more than 1 hour. I felt like i was going to blow up cause how starved I was but after a million  hours it was time to eat but when it was my turn to grab my food the food was almost finished.

 Bummer right but for dessert we had a humongous bowl of strawberry ice cream. It was finished in minutes. Crazy right we should’ve won the world record for finishing an ice cream bowl in minutes nah just joking.

But the only reason why I came to the Jubilee is because I wanted to celebrate the 175th Birthday of Saint Patrick’s Parish and that is all that matters.

The Unspeakable Voice

On a Tuesday Afternoon a sad and depressed girl named Leilani was going through a rough time because she lost her job and she was about to be kicked out of her House. 

She was entirely UPSET and BLUE until she heard a voice say “Come Come To Me”. At first she was petrified and scared but at the same time she asked herself if she could trust this random voice.

  After a while she finally built up the courage to follow the voice but she never thought that following a voice would change her life forever. Little did Leilani know that voice is from her grandfather that has recently passed.  

Once Leilani followed the voice she realized it was her grandfather. Her Grandfather had come to tell Leilani to never give up on anything because it is OK if you fail or win. 

 Once he finished saying those words Leilani cried and said “Thank you grandpa I will always miss and love you” her grandfather waved goodbye and said “I love you”.  

After her grandpa left Leilani told herself to never give up on anything she does. After a While Leilani started working hard until one day she finally percude her dream. Her dream was to become a CEO of a very popular company. After she finished work she looked up in the sky and said “We did it grandpa we did it” then she walked happily.

Mission Day 

Introduction 

On Friday the 23rd of September we had Mission Day, a day where we donate money to the poor children in Kalyanpur India.

First we had a liturgy under the canopy. Once we were finished we had to gather up our money  and put them in our class numbers.

Once we were finally done with our liturgy we went back to class to begin on our Te Reo Athon. It was very hard and complicated at the same time.

 Once we were done we got ready for morning tea. During morning tea the Room 8 girls were giving out raffle tickets  on the side for the juniors and one side for the middle seniors.

The line for the raffle tickets was really long and crowded so I decided to not buy any tickets because I didn’t want to wait in line all day. 

After a while the bell and we all went back to class. Once we got in class we watched a movie called Spirited Away.  The movie was really awesome and I enjoyed it a lot. 

After we watched the movie each and every single class had to gather up under the canopy to see who won a toy.  The winners were Sulia,Kava,Lupe,Willietony and Ramzy. I really enjoyed and loved mission day.

 How can we protect endangered lives?

We can protect Endangered animals and plants by volunteering 

 to Catch some pests and spread awareness. We can also help by calling animal protector services if there is a dangerous animal they need to remove.

 

We can also help by hunting down possums because they climb up to a bird’s nest to hunt down baby eggs and crack open the baby eggs and eat them.  Once they are done, they leave the bird’s nest before they get caught by the mama bird. 

We can also use some tracking tunnels to see what kind of dangerous animal they need to hunt down or remove. We also need to be careful because we might end up catching the wrong animals.

In conclusion We can protect Endangered lives by volunteering and spreading awareness and removing the pests.

On Friday the 5’th Room 7 went on a trip to Cornwall park and the view was amazing there. We split into 2 groups and went with 3 girls named Lisa and Charli.

They talked about trees,rocks and pine cones. We also saw traps like wax traps,tim traps and tracking tunnels. We also had to beware of mouse traps. Right after that we went to explore trees and we saw spider webs and spider babies. They looked like they were having a spider party and a spider hotel.

Right after that we switched with Chirs Judd and he told and showed us animal traps so if any animal got captured in one of them he also showed the totara and kauri tree. It was so immaculate and beautiful that I almost fainted.

After that both groups met up and we had lunch and talked after we ate,Chriss and my teacher Mr Bell decided to play a game. We got into two teams and we played snakes and letters with Chris and it was a fun game. I enjoyed it really much.

Once we finished playing the bus came to pick us up and took us home.I think it was a pretty effective day.

 

Today I did my cybersmart challenge seven. I had to make an underwater scene of  fishes  running away from getting eaten from a ginormous shark and also had to make my fishes out of shapes.

It was fun but a little hard at the same time, You cant decide what shape matches your fish, It is also hard when you have to rotate your shapes because sometimes it will come out as crooked and small. It was also fun making fishes out of shapes because you can design it your way and you can get really creative with it.
