Pope Pius Feast Day

On a rainy morning we were going to church  and going to celebrate the feast of Pope Pius X. He was the one that made children have their Holy Communion. We went into the church then we had the bread and wine. We went into the hall and we had cake, it was a banana cake, it looked yummy. The juniors had to get the cake first then the seniors had to get it last. I  liked the cake, it was one of the best cakes. When the lunch bell rang we had to go to the hall and show our talents. Room 1 went first then 2, 4, 5, then us, we sang Haere mai and Something in the Water. After  us was room 6 and then room 7.

I had a great day.

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.
