Characterisation of Storm Boy

I am a gentle boy who everyone calls Storm Boy. I am a storm boy who is unafraid and brave. I’m always calm even though I am a child who has never been at school.

 

I enjoy being in nature even though wild animals like snakes are all around.

I am never lonely because the beach, the sea, the fish, birds are all my friends. I am……………….Storm Boy

Our Kia O rahi tournament

Yesterday we played Kia O rahi from after morning tea to lunch and we had to wear PE gear to not get our uniform dirty. The teams are rimu, rata, kauri, totara. I loved playing my game and I was very fast. The winning house  is……………………………………….. Kauri!!! Sadly we lost but that’s OK. At least we had fun

Georzen Pelican

Today I did this screencast of my learning about Pelicans.

ANZAC biscuits

Last week in Room 6, we ate ANZAC BISCUITS. Mrs. Agnew bought them for us. At first, they were not eating because they were for ANZAC day. Finally,  ANZAC day came and it’s time to eat the biscuits. When I ate one, it made me think that I was eating sugary donuts in Jeddah. I really missed it and now I can’t eat it any more because they have shut down the store in Jeddah. 

The biscuits were round like the tyres of a car. It felt crumbly and bumpy in my mouth. Did you know? In 1915 The women used to bake these cookies to send to the soldiers during World War One.`

The 175 year Jubilee at my school and parish.

Today we celebrated the 175th Jubilee and I had to leave early because my Mom had work. On Friday we played sports with different teachers. My favourite part was the time we dug up the time capsule. We took the old items from 25 years ago.

On Sunday my family and I came back for mass. There where many people there and even three priests. I saw a little girl  sitting on the platform and four men were carrying the little girl. She gave the bible to the priest. After mass we went to the hall and we sang three songs. All the parents were clapping and having fun. We did not have lunch there. I enjoyed the celebration of our school’s 175 year history.
