X Country

Wow it’s a lovely day to do X Country.

On Tuesday morning  the 13th of August, the whole school was running the X Country. After lunch we went and lined up then we had to go to the courts. The juniors were sitting in the court and the seniors were running.

Mr Slade he was catching up to me and he did, but then I started to run and I tried to catch up to Kalo but I couldn't. When we were near the finish line that’s when I ran past Kalo.  I came second to last and Mrs Williams said ‘‘how old are you?” I said ‘‘9”. I saw everyone sitting down on the court. When it was time for the juniors, we cheered really loudly for them all.

I had a lovely day.      

The Assumption

We celebrate the Assumption because it is Mary’s heavenly birthday, it was on the 15 of August. Mary was taken up to Heaven and she became the Queen of Heaven. Pope Pius said that Mary’s body went up to heaven because they couldn't find her body and her bones. Some people say that Mary was dormition that means sleep and God took her to heaven and she sat between God and Jesus.   

camping holiday

Once there was a family that were going on a holiday, but they were not going to have tv and phones. They just had tins of food, a pocket knife, fishing rod and gas oven. Dad was checking if they had everything and then said ‘‘let’s go now”. They went into the car and went to the bush to camp. Dad saw that they didn’t have the tent when they got there. They were so angry but they had to go back to the house. When they were back at the house the children said ‘‘what is the point going back to the bush?” Dad replied ‘‘So we can just stay here for the night Jack and Kimba”. The two children ran inside and locked the door and mum and dad had to stay in the tent outside.

rainbow birds

    Pin bright    Ausgrid

Years ago there were birds that were black, grey and brown the birds wanted to be colourful. The birds tried to make themselves colourful by putting leaves and petals on them.

Every day after it rained a beautiful rainbow came and the birds liked looking at the rainbow.  One day when the rainbow came the birds saw that the  rainbow was not beautiful anymore. They saw a bright bird that was a Phoenix. He said “can you help me fight the Roaches that are attacking the rainbow’’. Some birds said “yes” and some birds said “no”. The Phoenix and some of the birds left and they saw that they were too late, because the rainbow looked hideous with holes in it and the colours had turned dark. The Roaches were everywhere, there was 1000 of Roaches. The birds won the fight. The birds ate the Roaches that were on the rainbow then the rainbow got bright again.

The birds went to the rainbow and they went through the rainbow and they got colours on their feathers.  They went back to the forest and the birds that didn’t go were sad because the beautiful birds that went to the rainbow were now colourful.
