Cultural Day

                         
Today Room's 7, 6 and 3 celebrated Diversity. To start off a sunny day we attended Mass, and the theme of Mass today was Diversity. Diversity means the Difference's  that we have and  we are all the same. We celebrated by showing each other our different presentations. Each classroom has a Continent and throughout this term we have been learning about those continents. Room 3s continent is South America, Room 6s continent is Asia and Rooom 7s continent is Europe. 

In our classses  we have spilt up into four groups which are four countries from the continent that we are learning about.
In the Morning Room 7 were presenting first. Their presentations were Amazing and Exciting. The very first group from their Presentation was U.K and the very last group was Spain.

 Instead of having four presentations they had Five presentations so their  one took for long. The Next class was Room 3. Their presentations were Awesome, because of their beautiful presenting I was starting to get chills and butterfly's.

My group was first India. I felt like I was going to spew up. After our presentations I felt very relived and happy that, that was over. But it wasn't over yet, After lunch we were going to Dance. Each group from the classes had to do a Traditional dance in front of the whole school. 

Instead of having Butterfly's and chills I was about to faint. The order of the dances went from Room 7, to Room 3 and last of all Room 6. Like before the first group to dance was U.K and the last group dance was Japan. In my class we have been learning about India, Thailand, China and Japan. Our dance was a Bollywood dance that was originated in Mumbai. 

My experience from today was such a Journey and I hope one day you might want to learn or discover these Continents. Asia, Europe and South America:-)

Manaiakalani Film Festival

 Going to the Manaiakalani Film Festival was awesome. Every year different schools from the cluster participate in the Manaiakalani Film Festival. This year our  was about Lock-down,  I really enjoyed watching all the movies from other schools. My favorite movie was from Pt England. My other favourite movie was Room 7's movie from my school. Their movie was a Music video and it showed lots of photos. At the end of the day I felt very proud of our movies and excited for next year's Film Festival.

Horray! Can’t Wait to go Around the World. My Journey starts at the Airport. Saying farewell to my family is the hard part, but going away was the fun part. The first stop is Australia to see my family and from there I will go to the Pacific Islands.

Finally we are here. . I work as a Babysitter so I’ve don’t got             so much experience in travelling like others But I can’t wait to travel around the World. In Australia my first stop is in Carins to see my Aunty, I can’t wait!!!! Especially when it is my first time going on a aeroplane.

“Hi mum I’m in Cairns visiting aunty Carmen.” It is so good to hear from Mum. it is also emotional for me as well because she has just found out Cancer is back.

Mum and I has been fighting Cancer for as long as I could remember. I am going to stay with my Aunty for a couple of  days and then I will go to a Hotel in Sydney. Such a fun weekend over at my Aunt's house. On Saturday we went to the Zoo it was so cool seeing loads of animals, My favorite was seeing  the Koala. On Sunday we went Chuch and then after church we went to the Pools and then we had lunch.. My friends and I spent a whole week in Sydney. Goodbye Australia Hello Pacific Islands.

Because of the money that was raised for me to go I could only pick 2 islands to go to so I decided  to go to Fiji and Niue for 4 days. Going off to Fiji was such a adventure, I’m going to have the best weekend ever. On friday we are going to swim in the sea explore the island.

The rest of the days I am going to stay home and pretty much do nothing, but on Sunday I’m going to church with friends. I’m not really sure what I’m going to do on Monday but I sure that I will do something fun.

Hay! we have finally arrive, the water is so clear that I can see the sand. Hot burning sun, cold refreshing water what a Day. Meeting New people and seeing new sights was Awesome. So now I got 3 more awesome days awaiting for me. Does time have to go so fast.

I hate saying goodbyes and farewelling family or friends. Going to Niue was such a Adventure. Unfortunately I Only booked 2 day at Niue so I was very upset when I arrived. But in the next two days I am going to spend it seeing family and visiting sights.

Today is tuesday and so far it is  going well. I’ve seen so many family and friends.  Can’t wait for tomorrow but at the same time I’m so Sad to farewell my family. Now I’ve only got 3 countries to go to. Which are America, Brazil and France. The first country that I am going to is Brazil.

With each country I am going to spend 2 days with each country. Yeah finally on the plane, I just realised that I don’t got my wallet. Oh my Gosh, please God I need you to help me. Now I'm thinking what am I going to do. As soon as I arrived  at Brazil I booked a flight back Niue.

As I board the plane I just realised that I’ve left it with my family, I’m thinking if I call them and tell them that I’ve left my Wallet they will look after it until I get there. Hooray My wallet is safe. I’m never going around the world again. So I’m off on the first flight back to New Zealand.

My highlight from travelling was meeting new people and seeing the different sights. “Welcome back to New Zealand” Hearing from my family was like sleeping forever and waking up. As I hug each one of my family members tears of joy comes running down my cheeks, and I think to myself  I’m home:-)

Being in a Catholic School

 Being part of a church is very special because we get to study Religions Education. Others things that is participate in is Praying, Praying is having a time to talk to God. Going to Church is a big part of our school. When we go to Church we always have to be quite because their might be people praying.                                     

100 day Party

Yesterday Room 6 had a 100 day party. The purpose of the party was for celebrating the end  term 2. It was really fun because we had lots of activities  that we played and we also had lots of food. I took shortbread cookies to the party. We had groups and in our groups we had to bring anything that represents 100. Ierei took to the party M and NS and Aurora took a poster that said "Keep Calm and Enjoy the 100 Day party. I hope we get to do something like this next term:)

Term 2 Reflection

In Term 2 I enjoyed having visitors come into our classroom because I really enjoyed hearing how they became successful and how they reacted to our questions. I also enjoyed swimming because it was really fun learning how to swim in different ways. Another highlight from this term was learning new maths strategies for multiplication, division and fractions because it was very hard at the start of the year for me, but now I know them all very well.

My lowlights from term 2 was twisting my ankle because I wasn’t allowed to run or walk that much. I didn’t really enjoy soccer because I don’t really like to play sports, only Netball. Another highlight from this term was when we didn’t swim for 2 weeks because I really enjoyed getting wet and having fun with our instructors.

What I am looking forward to for next term for our inquiry because we are going to learn about Asia, I love learning about countries and continents. Another thing that I am looking forward to is doing Music because we are going to work more on our ukuleles.
