Musical Evening

Musical Evening

“Rinngg” the school went. School was finish for the day but guess what? After school at 6:00pm there is going to be ....... A MUSICAL EVENING! I was so excited! I went home and got ready. At 5:30pm there was a Sausage Sizzle before the actual event.

I went to school and I rushed into the classroom so I could get my skirt from Mrs Moodley. When I walked into class everybody looked elegant and sophisticated. Everybody was wearing black and white. Girls wore long black skirt and the white school blouse. The boys wore black long pants, long white sleeved shirts and a waist coat plus a bowtie. We took some photos before we went to the hall.

After taking photos we all lined up in our classes then we all walked into the hall in excitement. When we walked in the hall I saw families, parents and my family too. Everybody was finally settled so we could get started. Lavinia started us off with a prayer.

Class after class after class came up and performed. I really enjoyed watching the classes perform. Room 3 sand Puppet on a String and Somewhere out There. .

First they sand Puppet on a String. They looked so bright with their colourful T-Shirts. Next they sang Somewhere out There. The soloists were Ana and Rachel, they sang beautifully. Next it was our classes turn to perform.

I walked with excitement to my instrument. I was play the Mini Marimba. We were playing a Medley. I enjoyed playing in front of everyone. To entertain people Leone jumped around and clapped his hands. The Crowd went Wild.
My favourite item was the Noizy Boyz. It was a group of boys playing drums. It was superb! The crowd was just screaming at the top of their lungs.

The final act was A’leina singing but  everybody sang along too. It was great to see everyone having fun. Everybody was laughing.
We weren’t quite finished for the night.  We had to say goodbye to a very special person.... Mrs Koloti as it was her last week with us. She was going to have a baby girl. FAREWELL MRS KOLOTI!  She sat in a chair while the Year 8 girls sang a Farewell song to her.
Then the night was over. Everyone rushed out of the hall and it was dark. It was great for everyone to share their talents. I hope that we do this again.

Cross Country

On a sunny and hot Friday afternoon the whole school got ready for..... Cross Country! I was so excited but kind of nervous at the same time. Our class (Room 6) had a shared lunch with chips, muffins, biscuits and more. I got changed then I went to the shared lunch.

The bell rang and everybody lined up in their classes and the teachers talked about what was going to happen next. We all walked in excitement to the tennis courts and lined up in our age groups.

The Juniors went first. They ran around the hall, around the church, then around the tennis courts and then sat down. The Seniors cheered loudly for the Juniors as they ran. All the Juniors ran and then it was time for the Seniors to run. The 13 year olds ran first so they were in the front then the 12 year olds, and finally it came to my turn to run. My heart was beating so fast it almost jumped out of my chest. Miss G yelled, “Get ready, set, GO!”

I jogged in the beginning and ran and ran. I took Mrs Moodley’s advice when she said to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth. I was running with Genevieve and she already had a stitch at the beginning of the race, I told her told her to breathe in through her nose and out through her mouth, so she tried it, and it worked plus her stitch went away.

I ran and I was almost up to the finish line. I ran up the driveway into the courts and Miss G said, “Run around the courts once then sit.” So I did and I came 5th. When everybody finished their races Miss G said, “Well Done!” to all of us.

After the races Dawn and I had to go film our presentation for SPX TV but I was so exhausted I didn’t feel like going. I was so proud of myself and that I finished the race and came 5th.

“Ashley!” Susan and Lesley shouted “Dinner time!”
At dinner Ashley asked her friends who she could give her money to? Ashley was so tired, as she lay in her bed she thought about what they were talking about at dinner.
Ashley is so rich. She is rich because she owns a famous hotel. Her sister Susan had recently moved in with Ashley in her mansion. Lesley is a kind, loving person and works at a cafe, she is Ashley’s best friend.
Ashley didn’t know who needed money but, when an advertisement came on the television of how much The Horn of Africa needs our help, she decided to give it to the people in The Horn of Africa. She could imagine their faces they would be happy. They said thank you so many times. Ashley felt good about what she had done. She went home and had a great night sleep, woke up the next morning and went to work as usual. After work she went to see her friend Lesley at the cafe. Some bad news came up for Ashley, her Mum had died. It was even sadder because her wedding was coming up. Ashley went to her Mum’s funeral and she said a beautiful speech and almost cried in the middle of the speech.
On a Sunday morning Ashley got ready for her fairytale wedding. It was very sad for Ashley because her mother was not there for her fairytale wedding. Her Dad walked her down the aisle. After the ceremony there was a feast at her big mansion it was so beautiful and romantic. At the end Ashley thanked everyone that came to her wedding and her friends and relatives all around the world.

You are Special

You Are Special
By Max Lucado Retold by ME!

Every wemmick was all made out of wood. Some wemmick's were small, some were tall, some with big noses and some were small, but all made from the same wood maker called Eli. Eli lived in a wood shop, making wemmick's on a hill. People would always gather around Punchinello and give him dots. Every wimmeck had a box of dots and stars. Punchinello got so many dots that one day he didn't even go outside. One day Punchinello met a wemmick called Lucia. Lucia had no dots or stars. Some wemmick's saw that Lucia had no dots so they gave her a star but it didn't stick. Some saw that Lucia had no stars so they gave her dots but it didn't stick. Puchinello asked Lucia how did you do that, well I always visit my wood maker, I want to be like you Lucia, Punchinello cried, go and visit Eli, he live on that hill. Punchinello went home, he looked outside the window and saw the little wemmick's sticking stickers on each other, right away Punchinello went to visit Eli. Eli saw Punchinello walk in and said why are you here Punchinello Eli asked, Punchinello was shaking and replied "well I want to be like Lucia," "Lucia?" "yes Lucia," "Punchinello come here" said Eli. Punchinello walked to Eli, Eli said “ I don't care about what anybody thinks of you Punchinello because you are mine” "I'm yours" said Punchinello “yes you are mine and I will always love you”. Eli told Punchinello come see me everyday and you will be like Lucia and from that day on Punchinello visited Eli everyday and the dots were coming off slowly.

Swimming!

On a beautiful Wednesday morning our class went swimming in our new swimming pool. We all have groups, group A and B. Group A went to swim first. I was in group B, so I didn't know what went on in the pool. Next went my group to the pool but first of all we had to get changed. I did not swim because I did not have any togs but the cool thing was that I was the one that took the photos. Miss Oldfield told me not to wet the camera so I said OK. I walked into the tent it was pretty cool and nice and warm but I got hot very quickly. I think I took some good photos. The water was wavy. Group B got out of the pool and I think they were very cold. I walked out of the pool and it was nice and cold cause I was hot inside the tent. Everybody ran to the classroom quickly. I had so much fun taking pictures even though I didn't swim!

What is it like to have your own blog?

I have found having my own blog is exciting because I never thought that I would have my own blog, I have never had my own blog just a class one.
It is cool having a blog because everyone around the world can see our amazing work and leave a comment.
The other good thing why we have blogs is our parents can see our school work, they can see our wonderful story's that we write on our netbooks.

Cellphones

What do you think about cellphones at school? I am the news reporter today I have a little news report talking about this very topic. Check it out! 

Athletics Day

Athletics Day was coming up, I was so nervous.
Friday was finally here, I got ready for school really fast because I was excited and nervous at the same time. St Pius school was going to have another athletics day. At morning tea my friend Genevieve and I went to the toilets to change, so we finished getting ready for the day. We walked out of the toilets and went to play.
Next the bell rang I went to line up. I was in Geckos for the second time. The 5 year old girls and boys raced and guess who came first, my niece Claudia, she went into the finals and came first again. Wow I didn’t know she was that fast. Next it was the 6 year old girls and boys and guess who came second to last my other niece Victoria. Meanwhile the 7 year old kids raced but I didn’t know who came first, second, and third because I went to the toilets. After that the 8 year old girls and boys raced and my cousin Rachel came last.
Next it was the 9 year old girls and boys walked to the line to race I was on the last lane near Zheiyna. I ran nervously and came third. I went to the finals and came last. Next was the 10 year old girls, my friend Genevieve came third, her sister Robertanna came first and Catherine came second. Meanwhile the 11,12 and 13 kids raced and I don’t know who came first, second and third.
The bell rang and that meant it was lunch time. I went to get my lunch and went to eat it at the shade with my other friend Julia. After lunch was novelty races. The rooms 2 and 1 were placing the ball under their thighs. My class and room 7 were doing relays. I ran nervously again. After the novelty races we were singing our chants, the Geckos won at the chants, I was in the Geckos I was proud to be in the winning team.
After that Mr Coakley announced the winners and the winning team was the GECKOS! We all walked to our classrooms to change. I said bye to my teacher and went safely back home. I told my mum my team won the whole thing my mum thought that was great!
