Angelica and The Moon

Once long ago, Angelica was asleep in her house with her children Catherine and Dorothy. She was too looking after her nephews david and Isaiah. During the night her daughter catherine started to cried. Her daughter was thirsty so she went off to the kitchen and saw there was no water in the water pot. So she went off to the river.


While she was walking A huge yellow moon was shining so bright Angelica had a better view of where she was going. While she was walking with the water pot under her arm she finally found the river. Down the bank she went, She filled her pot with water. After filling up the pot of water she headed back home. Now Angelica was heading back home. The moon was showing her the way back.  


Suddenly the moon went behind the clouds, Angelica was extremely angry at the moon so she said “ You stupid moon , I hate you!” she said so loud with her fist up at the air the moon heard her. So the moon peeked out from the clouds and saw poor Angelica on the ground, but “Poor Angelica” was a “Angry Angelica”. She shouted back “ You ugly fat moon”. The moon responded back “ You know I dislike people who shout back to me” He said in a angry voice “ You should be punished”, so he reached out to Angelica and pulled her back to him. Angelica was really frightened she grabbed a tree branch so she could stop the moon from pulling her back. When the moon had pulled Angelica back the branch snapped. The huge moon pulled her back into the sky. So there’s is Angelica now, in the moon with her tree branch.

!!!MY SPECIAL MOTHER!!!

My mum is a caring mother. She is warm hearted. She is always there  for me. She watches me when I am on the court playing netball or some other cluster sports. Sometimes if she can’t make to a game she would say that her heart would always be with us while we are playing  sports or performing for assembly. My Mum comes over to school and helps me out when I am fundraising with a group She bakes cakes so we can sell them. I love it when she bakes, I love the smell of her baking, and when she takes it out hot from the oven, I smell the yummy aroma coming through the to the dining room. I just want to eat it straight away but too bad I have to wait till all the baking is done, and that everything is cleared from the table, and that everyone is ready to dig in.  

!!!LAST OF ALL I LOVE MY MUM!!!

!!!!First basketball experience!!!!

“Bounce Bounce Bounce ” went the ball. Room 7 entered the courts with excitement. I was really excited to learn how to play basketball. I ran to the other-side of the court and stood on the yellow line together with my classmates. Our instructor introduce himself, his name was Coach Bruce he said he use to be a basketball player but retired and became a coach. He got us get into groups. Bruce taught us what we are allowed to do on a basketball game. One rule was to never hold the ball and always  bounce the ball with one hand.
We played a game that one of our team mate had to flip the same coloured cone that we received from coach bruce. Running back and forth flipping the same coloured cone. After our basketball lesson I headed off back to class. I can’t wait till our next session.

Retreat!

Thursday 29 of march was a EXCITING morning. We ran into the car. Off we went . I was getting impatient . “ Are we there yet!’ I moaned . It was a EXCITING morning.


We finally got there. We were greeted by brother Philip and Johanne. I stepped inside . I had to take off my shoes.

One of the activities that we did was “Noah And The Ark”. My partner was Lavinia. We got paper bags with sticks, fake money, twigs...etc. My partner and I put made a ark with our materials.

After making our ark everyone ran to the fish pond at the back. Our ark had to float for 5 minutes. When the five minutes were over. My partner and I were relieved that our ark was still floating. We jumped up and down with joy.


It is the last day of retreat. We had mass. Father Iosefa came . After that it was time for lunch. Sadly it was now time to go. We thanked Brother and went back to school.

Opening Mass

Last Friday was Saint Pius X School’s opening mass. This was a great way to start of the year. I played the guitar with Ofa. I was also the leader for the Prayers of the faithful.

Lavinia read the introduction. After she finished we sung the entrance hymn, and the mass begun.

The special part of the mass was when the teachers went up and did the offertory. The teachers were blessed at the end of the mass. It felt really special.

I learnt from the first reading to never loaf around and to never be a burden.
My goal is to reach the national standard so I could have an awesome future.

First Tennis Experience

I had an exciting and nerve racking morning last Tuesday. Room 7 were playing tennis. Yay! But guess what? I haven’t played tennis in my life. I think I will stick to netball. But hey I had a go.

I stepped inside the tennis courts and saw our instructor. His name is Marcel. I rushed to the side of the courts and grabbed a tennis racket and a ball. We finally played.

Marcel taught us some of the basic skills of tennis. We learnt how to balance the ball on the tennis racket, I found this quite challenging. I made too many mistakes.

After practising and getting the hang of it, we played a game called “King Of The Court”. We played and played, until our 30 minutes was over. Bad luck I didn’t win but it was great fun.

It was a great experience. I think I will continue to learn how to play tennis. It wasn’t that bad. I am looking forward for next time.
