Grandparents Day

On Friday was grandparents day a day that your grandparents come to school.First we went to the church and had a mass. After the mass we went out of the car park and some grandparents were there to pick up there grand kids.  Everyone with a grandparent(that wasn't going to a brother or sister's class) would return with their grandparent to have a shared morning tea. Me and Jaime unpacked the shared morning tea and then everyone was eating when we were running out of food Me and Anika went to our sister and cousins room and stole some food. When the bell rang the people doing a performance would go to the teacher running it so they could get ready while everyone else went out to play.Instead Anika and I stayed to tidy up the classroom until it was neat and tidy. The bell rang and we went to the hall. In the performances there was the choir,Kapa Haka,Pasifaka, marimba, the philipino group, gymnastics and R2 dance. At the end the grandparents were thanked for coming and they left the school. All the students went out to play. After we came back to the classes and ate because we had relays from athletics day. Before that we had the reading log draw and I went up and got a chocolate bar from the prize table. I thought that I might be in the relays but no. The last relay it was teacher and house leaders from  your house and my team Mill Hill won that relay and we had the most points so Mill Hill was first.

Thank you for the life you gave an the world you have made,let there be peace and no harm.And love in our hearts. Thank you for the friends we love. Please let all the living things live forever in your love, make sure that the endangered don’t all die. Please let the world be clear to the people that don’t understand. Sorry for all the bad thing we have done in our live of love. Sorry for ruining the land that you have made with love. Sorry for killing the animal that you love. We say sorry thank you and please from the bottom of our hearts. AMEN.	20 One day when Jesus was in the Temple teaching the people and preaching the Good News, the chief priests and the teachers of the Law, together with the elders, came 2 and said to him, “Tell us, what right do you have to do these things? Who gave you such right?” 3 Jesus answered them, “Now let me ask you a question. Tell me, 4 did John's right to baptize come from God or from human beings?” 5 They started to argue among themselves, “What shall we say? If we say, ‘From God,’ he will say, ‘Why, then, did you not believe John?’ 6 But if we say, ‘From human beings,’ this whole crowd here will stone us, because they are convinced that John was a prophet.” 7 So they answered, “We don't know where it came from.” 8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you, then, by what right I do these things.”	song
Tuesday	Our world. Thank you for our lovely peaceful world. Thank you for our family,cousins and friends. Thank you for our land NZ that we live in. Please help everyone in need in the world. Amen	Be merciful to me, O God,    because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy    wipe away my sins! 2 Wash away all my evil    and make me clean from my sin! Psalm 51.	file
Wednesday	Dear god please help the poor and the sick to get more money and medicine. Please help them to get warmth and shelter thank you for the sun and warm days. Thank you for the shelter and nice food. Thank you for our awesome school. I’m so sorry for sinning please guide me to be like jesus. Amen.	In my first book I wrote about all the things that Jesus did and taught from the time he began his work 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven. Before he was taken up, he gave instructions by the power of the Holy Spirit to the men he had chosen as his apostles. 3 For forty days after his death he appeared to them many times in ways that proved beyond doubt that he was alive. They saw him, and he talked with them about the Kingdom of God. 4 And when they came together,[a] he gave them this order: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift I told you about, the gift my Father promised. 5 John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”	song
Thursday
Friday	Thank you for my friends and family and the lovely school I go to. Thank you for keeping me safe from harm and lastly, thank you for the beautiful home I can always come back to smile at. I’m sorry for all my sins I’ve made a lot in the past I hope you can forgive me. Amen	She acts as if the eggs were not hers, and is unconcerned that her efforts were wasted.	song

Notes:

• Discuss your prayer focus with the teacher as they may be aware of any special feast days or celebrations approaching.
• Use the Bible and internet to find Catholic prayers to match your focus.
• Choose one day for the class to say special intentions.
• Yo can choose what to place on our altar for the week if you want something to help with your prayer focus. E.g. flowers for spring.
• Be prepared for prayers at the beginning of each day.

Speech

I believe that I have used my writing goal in my speech because it was to plan plan plan. When i was writing I did a lot of planning.

Legend

A long time ago in 1756 in the countryside of Rotorua there was a peaceful village named Awhi pahikara Nono(embrace bicycle bottom) it was never used since a million years.In the Roto (lake) right next to it there lived a merman his name was Manaakitanga. He was happily swimming in the wonderful Roto. This was also a magic blue lovely merman easily spotted in the bright Puru(blue) water but there were problems being a magic merman.

On one of the peaceful days a proud chief named matinnia and his village was looking for a new place to live. When he was passing he saw the sparks flying from the Roto. He ordered the drivers to STOP!! and he obeyed. The matinnia went down and looked at the place and announced”we will make these our Whare”. Hooray yelled the villagers. The merman  heard this and thought instantly TROUBLE!

The next morning the matinnia went down and yelled at the Roto” come out magic thing I know you are there” suddenly with a splash of a wake out he came Manaakitanga. Matinnia said slightly suspicious would you like to join me in ruling the world almost instantly he replied KAORE!.  Then disapperated right before the chief got to angry.

The chief yelled at the village of Awhi Pahikara Nono we are having a meeting tonight. So that night the chief told the villagers that we are going to. In the morning they put the plan into action they emptied all the rubbish bins and put it on catapults. Finally they were ready on the command of the chief the shot the Rubbish on the catapults into the lake. When after a while the merman noticed and was really sad. It then hit him that he had a better and more master than that dumb chiefs. He called the villagers and asked them a specific question“do you like your chief” they relied no in a very weird expression on their face. Right this is what we will do. It was all agreed with the word ae. Soon Manaakitanga gathered all the rubbish and shot it directly at the chief when he called to the Manaakitanga come and join me and Manaakitanga relied with the same answer. Out came the villagers to thank the mighty merman.

Now we know how Mokoia island was made the merman died after the chief he was half and the chief was half and that is how it made.

The end.

Letter To Mr Macmillan

Dear great principal of St Mary's Catholic School Rotorua,

Could we please have permission to go into the new class room
for a hard jumbo treasure hunt?
For our amazing free Golden time with you on Friday. Hope you
enjoy your time with us.

In fact it gives our brain a work out a reason why is we have to use
our brain to think where the hard spots are.
Also we all think it is a good idea because it is good to have fun
like this once and awhile.
As you can see when we get to go in we know where to go
for next time.

Surely it's a fun investigation for us. Mr Macmillan do you think
an investigation is fun?
Certainly We have to include the year zero’s in the jumbo
treasure hunt so they can have an
fun investigation as well as us it’s the right thing to do
It will help us if we job that includes investigating.

I am sure that it is a good opportunity for us to see how well the
hard working builders have done to the wonderful new classroom.
To learn how to work with the cute amazing year zero’s since we
don’t work with them a lot.
We can dress up for example p.j’s or dressing gowns and
costumes.

Though you might think it will be hard to keep it absolutely tidy
and we will supply all the stuff for the hunt.
If you hide the things we bring in the hard spots you get a
certificate.
Then we will give you the best surprise that a principal could
want.

In fact we would be so delitaded if you did do this even though
this is the only option.

Yours sincerely Ella and Abigail.

The Ascension

What is the difference between the Ascension and Resurrection?

Jesus rose and was a full human he was able to be touched able to talk strait to them and was able to touch all things and could hear all the sounds around him. All the strong Disciples watched as Jesus ascend into heaven alone. During the resurrection he died then over time he rose to judge the living and the dead.

My Reading Goals

• By the end of term 2 I will be able to skim and scan different texts for information.
• By the end of term 2 I will be able to know what inference is.

• By the end of term 3 I will be able to use the information around an unknown word to help me understand it.

Update: I have not completed that goal properly I will stick with that goal until I have.

Writing Goal

My writing goal for term 2 is to use a range of different sentence starters to make my writing more interesting.
Update: I have noticed that I completed this goal here is my proof below. The bit of writing is when we did persuasive writing.

My goal for term two is to think about my ideas before writing my bit work

My goal for term 3 is to structure my sentences because I had some sentences that weren't structured. Update: I sometimes use different sentence types but I need to deliberately choose shorter or longer sentences to grab the reader's attention or change the mood.

My goal for term 4 is to learn how to spell more difficult words. And will learn this by getting mums old spelling book and learn some words from that. A few words every week.

The Elixir Of Love

Today we had a visitor from the NZ opera. They did a marvelous play for us. It was called the Elixir of love. Staring the wonderful characters Beautiful Adina, Jealous Belcore,Kind Nemorino,Smart Dulcamara.

The show was amazing how you were loudly singing and how you were fastly acting out of love. I was very amused. THANK YOU

Here is when it started when Nemorino started sadly singing about how much he liked Adina. Then when ever she looked back he would stop. Suddenly all the towns people started to cheer and clap. Balacore came and he was famous so they all cheered.
