The Rosary

The Rosary is a prayer. We have beads to use while we are praying. First you have to say the sign of the cross, then the Creed, then one Our Father and 10 Hail Mary’s followed by one Glory be.

There is a crucifix at the end of the Rosary beads. This reminds us when Jesus died. The Rosary is not a necklace to wear, it is something that you pray with.

Squash

After morning tea there were going to be a awesome sport that we were going to play, it is called Squash. We went to the hall and sat down. The names of the people that are show us how to play squash  were Michael and Phil. They showed us the rules. There were 6 courts, one of them were a practice place. I was so excited that I was going to play Squash. Men have to wear tank tops and shorts and t-shirts. Woman have to wear a skirt and a t-shirt and a sports dress. Harrow School in England were the first people to play squash in 1830.

It looked like fun and when I had a turn it was fun. Even when I lost it was, I had a good game. We played king of the court, it was fun, I had to be at the third court. I stayed there for two games, but then I moved up to court two. After about six minutes I made it to the first court. It was me Patrick, Misiotei and Asipeli. The balls went so fast when it came past my face.

They were all hard, the winner was Patrick, he was hard to beat. Next we sat down and Phil said “who was the best man at playing squash?’’ someone said “Ramy Ashour’’, ‘‘who is the best woman to play squash?’’ asked Phil, someone else said ‘‘Nicol David”. I had so much fun for my first time playing squash.  

KIDS FOR KIDS

On friday night we had the Kids for Kids concert. I went into the backstage door and went to find Miss G and sat down and waited to go on the stage. There were 15 schools backstage. We got onto the stage and waited for Nathan King and Jackie Clarke. We sang the whole first half and we went backstage and sat down and had a little snack, we had chocolate frogs, chocolate cookies and moro’s. We were playing monkey barrel, it was fun. After we had our break we went back on the stage and Nathan and Jackie were wearing farming clothes because we were singing gumboots and we sang welcome home that was the second to last song we sang. After that we had to sing She’s A Mod, all of the schools were going crazy when singing that song. After that song we finished and went to the backstage and waited for our parents. After my dad picked me up from the backstage I went to the carpark and we went into the car, it was cold. When I was at home, I felt happy after I went to the kids for kids concert.

Kids For Kids

On Friday night we went to Kids for Kids to sing. There were 250 children. The people who were singing with us were Jackie Clark and Nathan King. We had to sing in front of 800 people in the crowded audience, also our family. That was a lot of people, we were at the back of the stage. All the schools went out and sat down and we sang all of the songs in the first half then we went back of the backstage and had a little snack and then we went back on the stage and sang the soloists songs. They were 'Whether with you', 'Sensitive to a smile', and 'Maybe tomorrow'. I was proud of me.

                                     

Maths Reflection

Today in maths I was learning my basic facts on xtramath. I practiced my skills and I like maths because I like numbers and it’s fun too. I am in circles, when I do my math whizz I do counting in 4’s at the moment. I have to go on the computer tutor so that I can practise my maths skills.

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.
