Anti-Bullying Poem

Bullies can hurt peoples feelings. 
They can make people cry. 
They can can hit or punch. 
They  can make you feel scared and afraid. 
If you get bullied, don't just sit there. Go get a mate. 
They can swear. 
They can threaten you. 
They can push you. 
They can steal your things. 
They can call you names.

Easter Day

At Easter, I woke up really early in the morning. I found a huge tinker bell bucket. I ran up the freezing  stairs. I found a tiny Chocolate Bunny on the  tropical fish tank. I ran up the tiled stairs fast because Mum called me. She said Happy Easter! I found a huge Chocolate Bunny in my colourful room.  I yelled out to Mum and Dad.  I woke Dad up. Mum softly walked into the hot lounge - the fire was on. I asked Mum if I could eat a delicious Chocolate Bunny. I had a huge bucket of medium eggs. They were wrapped in beautiful coloured tinfoil. The eggs were dark brown. They  were very yum. We walked to the big bakery. I had a yummy pie.

Holy Thursday Liturgy

Holy Thursday Liturgy

It was now the time of Passover. Jesus’ followers came to Him and said, “We will go and prepare everything for the Passover Feast. Where do you want to eat the feast?” Jesus answered, “Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. He will go into a house. Tell the owner of the house, “The teacher wants you to prepare the room for the Passover meal.” So the followers left and went into the city and prepared the Passover Feast.

In the evening, Jesus went to that house with the twelve. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread and gave God thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and eat it; this is my body which will be given up for you.”





  
When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave God thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and drink from it; this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.”

After some time, Jesus got up from the table and went to a different part of the room.  He put a large towel around him, making himself look like a servant.  After that, he poured water into a large bowl and began to wash the disciples' feet.  He then dried them with the towel that was wrapped around Him.

When Jesus had finished washing all of the disciples’ feet, he returned to the table.  "Do you understand what I have done for you?"  Jesus asked them.
Jesus is like a King - but even greater than a king, He's the King of Kings!  By washing the disciples’ feet, He was doing something that only a servant would do.
This is an example of how you should treat others.  You don't have to actually wash other people's feet, but do kind things to others and act like a servant for Jesus.

Waka Racing

Today, we walked to the riverbank to watch the Regatta waka races.

When we got to the riverbank, we sat down to watch the races. The water was sparkling and the crowd on the other side of the river was shading under tent tops. Some crews were getting into the waka to go up-river for their races.

Harrigan’s crew was rowing next. We moved into the shade, and it was so hot. I was boiling. We were excited. Room 1/2/3 and 4  were there as well. We were shouting Go! St Paul’s when they went past us then  everyone  ran up the steep hill to see Harrigan’s  crew  start then we ran down the hill to see the waka come down the river. They were rowing fast against the water and the wind. The paddles were turning forwards and round and round.

It was an amazing day. Harrigan’s crew came second.  We shouted yahoo hurray. 
After the fifth race, Mrs Thomson said to our whole class, we are leaving. We lined up then we walked back to school.
