She struggled to get everyone’s attention. Her words were lost. “Wait up Sia!” I yelled. My legs tiredly walked until I reached my destination. “Make sure to stay with your group” instructed Mrs Tui. The sun was like an oven, burning everything and anything under it. </span></div>

The sound of loud engines distracted my thought. “Our train will come in 8 minutes, make sure to stay together” commanded Mrs Tui. “ Are you excited?” inquired Ierei. I cheerfully shook my head. “Mind the gap” a unfamiliar voice popped up. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“We are now arriving at Panmure” the robotic voice announced. My heart was in my throat.</span></div>

Skateland is beside Mount Wellington. “It doesn’t look big” I thought. That thought changed once I stepped into the building. “Wow.” I was astonished. Their was a big skating rink and spectator seats surrounding it. “ Welcome to SkateLand” a unknown voice welcomed. “Go to the stand and ask for your size” ordered Mrs Tui.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I slowly eased my feet into my shoes and headed to the skating rink. At first it was hard to find my balance. A hour later I had improved, alot. “Can you help me Ierei?” I cried. I was scared to death. Before I knew it I was lying on the floor helplessly. I had fallen to the ground a couple of times. I had gotten used to it, and it turned into alot of fun. “You’ve got 45 minutes left” declared Mrs Tui. I sighed. </span></div>

Wellington” proclaimed Mrs Tui. I sighed with a horrified expression. I slowly picked up my feet and dragged myself up the steep hill. “We’re nearly there!” encouraged Ierei. I felt like fainting.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

I sat down and concentrated on regaining my breath. “We have 10 minutes left” announced Mrs Tui. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Walking down the hill was hard. I was extremely tired and dehydrated. “I’ll see you tomorrow Hola” I uttered as I strolled down the hill. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Our task was to create a Timeline throughout our years in Saint Pius X School. I have been in Saint Pius X School since 2007. It is coming to the end of the year, and we still have to prepare for much more. I have arranged my year photos from 2007 up to 2015. I have also arranged photos of my last year. I hope you enjoy :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On Friday 6th November 30 of our students including myself here are St Pius X Catholic School had the privilege to represent our school, at our very first Cluster Culture Festival. We had 4 different ethnicity groups including : Samoan, Tongan , Cook Island , and Maori. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were all united with the Liturgical Dance. We told the story of our school by dance. Our story commenced when the Holy Faith Sisters arrived into New Zealand and started our school. This is when the Maori people arrived. Our Maori Group performed beautifully. It was a great start to the dance. The dance then concludes onto the Cook Island group (performed by Aurora), The Samoan group, and ends off with the Tongan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were all reunited with the Liturgical Dance. I was relived and happy that it was over. All of our hard work and late practises paid off. At first I was definitely anxious. I felt proud of everyone including myself. After performing we all gathered together and watched the other schools perform. I was exhausted and could not believe that it was over.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The day of Sailing had finally arrived. We were lucky to receive this grant of having two days of sailing. Since the sailing activity could only take up to 12 people, my class was split into two groups. Fortunately I was in the first group. We had 3 hours of straight sailing. The thought of it sent shivers down my spine.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Is everyone here Room 7 ?” inquired Mrs Tui. “ No not everyone has arrived” I answered . Horror was painted onto her face. “ We will be going very soon!” cried Mrs Tui. I was as worried as a convicted murderer. “ Everyone hop into the car” announced Mrs Tui. I slowly dragged myself into the car, and rolled away. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I can’t wait!” yelled Seuati. I smiled brightly pretending to act happy. Judging by his tone he seemed somewhat animated. “Whoa these boats are really small!” I thought to myself. For the half a hour we got prepared and learned about the yachts. Once we had finished we released the yachts into the water and headed off. “ Hold on Aurora, Be careful!” I shrieked.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Look, Justin’s boat flipped over!” I wailed. We all laughed in response of the incident. “Jump in Sonya” urged Aurora. I was getting ready to run away. “ Come it’s not too bad!” she squealed with frustration. I slowing plodded myself on the platform. Off I went. The wind </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 33px; white-space: pre-wrap;">wasn't</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> too heavy. I was eager to reach the deadline, so I went as fast as I could. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I think that I am going to sink” I thought as I gradually continue. “ I have to get this water out of my boat immediately” I thought to myself. I sigh heavily wishing I’d went with Aurora. “ You have to get the water out as fast as you can!” shouted Reuben as I drifted off. I could feel my face slowly shutting down. “You can do this!” I tried my best to be strong and concentrate . “ You made it!” yelled Aurora as I pulled onto the beach. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before we could have our lunch, we had to get changed. After getting changed we had our lunch. All of the Sailing had made me ravenous. “ I wish we could stay for longer” I sighed as we drove off. </span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523540527065158056.post-34017759669287974022015-11-10T12:05:00.000+13:002015-11-17T12:31:49.742+13:00Choices Display<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was much different than the previous session. We had learnt alot of skills and rules about the game Touch. It was quite complicated but I got the hang of it. I learnt that in touch it requires alot of team work. I can’t wait to learn more in our next session!</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Big screens, Dark Large Rooms, and Big red chairs. I love going to the movies, if I could I would go everyday. In the Holidays my family went to the movies, to watch a film named ‘Pan’. I really enjoyed watching this movie, because it was interesting and unique. The day started with searching for a movie to watch. Until I found the movie Pan . I was allured by its appearance and description, so I decided that we should watch this movie. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since my cousin was coming with us, on our way to the movies we had to pick him up. And off we went. When we arrived at the movies a rush of excitement came over me. The cinemas was packed full of people waiting and coming in and out. It was </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px; white-space: pre-wrap;">madness</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> watching this process happen .</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The movie started off very peculiar, and ended off quite emotionally. I loved the storyboard and the set out of the movie. It felt like the movie was dragging on, and made me feel like I was in a line waiting. The movie was unexceptionally long, but I </span><span style="line-height: 33px; white-space: pre-wrap;">didn't</span><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> mind because we had nothing to do afterwards.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On our way out of the movies, the cinemas had become even more crowed. This was one day that stayed with me from the holidays. I adore this movie and hope to see it again sometime soon. The day concluded with the sun shining through, and a smile on my face. </span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523540527065158056.post-47024961128626956092015-10-14T10:28:00.000+13:002015-10-14T10:28:13.613+13:00Welcome to Term 4 <div style="text-align: center;">

I wasn’t that keen on running but was determined to do so. It was the day of Cross Country, an event that brings everybody together. Cross Country didn’t start until 1 o'clock, so we had some time to kill. </span></div>

In Saint Pius we have 4 groups or houses, the whole school is put into one of these groups. I’m in the Tui's group. Each group had to come up with a chant. Tui’s decided to create a new chant. </span></div>

We all had to walk down to the start line. The first race was the Room 1 and 4 children. Once the blocks thumped together, all of the children zoomed off. </span></div>

Then all my pain and discomfort came to it’s end. I was relieved and grateful that it was over. It wasn’t quite over yet, we still had our chants to perform. We shouted as loud as we possibly could. The day ended with the sun still shining, and children smiling. </span></div>

Children running around like chickens without heads. Teacher's screaming like the world was ending. This mass was cruel and every little detail needed to be perfect. All of the readers needed to practice, the slideshow checked and the singing rehearse over and over. What a day!</span></div>

The mass continued with beautiful readings, a teaching homily and magnificent singing and hymns. I had the honor and privilege to represent Room 7 with my poem. Each class in our school had to write a poem our Saint Pius X. I decided to write a diamante poem. </span></div>

My mind spinning and spinning with endless excitement. This was caused by our trip to Kelly Tarltons. It first commenced by walking down a blue and magical walkway. We walked down until we reached our destination. My first thought was what if ? or what will happen ? </span></div>

After that we carried on as we walked by, there were pieces of information for us to read. </span></div>
