Dear Santa,

I am writing this letter to you to ask if you could get me a present for Christmas. This is going to be about What I want for Christmas,Why I deserve presents and who doesn't deserve presents.

These are some of the things that I want for Christmas.

• Puppy
• Shoes
• Chocolate
• Ipad
• Laptop
• Money
• Dog

I think I deserve mostly all of these presents because I have been a good friend ,I have tried to improve my work at school and because I've been good at school.

The people who don’t deserve Christmas Presents are people who haven't improved in their work at school and haven’t been nice .

I hope you understand why I want these presents,I hope you try give some of them to me thank you.

From Annalise :)

Church Explanation Writing !!

My Explanation Writing is about a special place. I chose Church !! Because that is where people come together and celebrate things. A Church is a holy place.

A church can be made out of Brick,Wood and many other things. It is a place for Weddings, Farewells and celebrations. Churches are different, they have different designs and they can be made out of brick and wood too.

You can find Churches at catholic schools and many other places. In Churches you will see a Altar, Wine, Bread, Bible, Priest, Jesus, Mary, God, People and pictures of Jesus.

At Church there would be people singing and praying. Also some churches big, small and tiny. Even though they are all different people still go to church.

Some Churches have a big cross on top of it. Church is special because it is celebrating the death of Jesus,because he died for our sins. Church starts at different times but most churches start at 10:30.

People use a church to pray and to meet new people. At church there is friendship, love and caringness. All churches can be really boring because they take to long. I hope this helps you know why this is a special place.

THANK YOU !!

Marilyn - Grace

                   

The clock struck 1:00am and it was time my dad quickly took my mum into the car. I got the bags that Mum packed the night before and threw it into the car.

We then zoomed off to the hospital. When we got to a red  light, luckily there were no cars so dad speedily drove through the red lights. We then were at the hospital, my dad got the bags while me and my older sister dorothy was helping mum.

“ HELP!!” I shouted, the nurses came running and took her into the room. We sat outside the room looking at the extremely beautiful city lights, the room then had suddenly gone silent. I then thought that something had gone wrong.

My dad said  that we could come and see our little baby sister or brother. We walked into the room I was so excited, “it’s a GIRL” I whispered. We saw little finger’s and feet “ What is her name” dorothy asked, “Marilyn - Grace”.

                   THE END !!!!

“Come on girls’s, we have to leave now”. Her mum shouted. On a early exciting  morning Jessica and her family went to the airport. They got their tickets, then said bye to their family.

They got in and were over excited cause they got there own room’s. Rosie jumped onto the bed “It’s so bouncy”. “This is going to be so fun” lauren shouted.

Rosie got out her phone and took pictures with her sister’s.

“I’m going to meet up with my friends”. Mum said, she left off with her husband. The three girls were hungry so they ordered some water and pancakes. “ WOW look at the size of these pancakes” Lauren said.

Netbook Reflection !!

This year I have been learning very differently. I have been learning with a Netbook. It is very different from learning in a book. This year, 2013 was my first time to get a Netbook. It is easier to type on a Netbook than write in a book.

What it is like having a Netbook is we now can always connect on the internet very fast. I hope next year I will do much better than this year with my work now that I know how to use my netbook really well.

It is very different to a book because it has a screen and a keyboard. It is sometimes hard for me to take care of my netbook when having a one year old sister in the house.

For the last few terms I have been learning about being smart online. We had to make a poster showing how to be smart online. And also this term I have been learning all about Saint Patrick and Saint Joseph.

We don’t just learn from our teacher we learn from our parents, family, friends and others. We are lucky to have these Netbook’s. Thanks to Miss G for helping us with everything that we do on our netbook.  

Cutlural Day !!!

“It’s Cultural Day” I shouted aloud.

On a burning hot day it was Cultural day for the Senior Syndicate.

I walked straight into church feeling like I was late, but I was just in time. I was scared that I would make a mistake. Suddenly we had to walk up to the altar. Me, Rachel and Rosalina had to stand up with other students in the Senior Syndicate to read a pray of the faithful. I was the third one to say the prayer. I said it as I was happy and felt excited.

When church was finished we all had to go to room 7 so they could start their presentations. We got a piece of paper each, this was so we could mark each group. The first group started their presentation, this was about the United Kingdom. They told us about the time and some words that people in the U.K use.

Then there were other groups who presented their presentations, they were Italy, Greece, Spain and Germany. After they had all presented to us it was morning tea time. The bell rang and Room 6 and 7 and their teachers had to come to our class so we could present to them.

I was so scared, happy, and excited waiting to present. The students all came and sat down. I had to go and sit where Miss G normally sat so I could change the slides. My group then started by saying “OLA AMIGOS” with a smile on our face.

We had finally started. As soon as it was my turn to say my part I stood up and said “Peru has a traditional dance that is mixed up with two other dances”. I felt so happy when it was over.

After my class had presented we then had to move to room 6’s class. We got a paper each and a pencil. First in room 6 to present was the Indian group. They told us all about what sort of food they eat and other facts.

After when their class had finished presenting we all had lunch. My friends were all talking about how happy and frightened they were. We were all happy that we had done great work presenting to the Senior Syndicate.

After Lunch we had to get changed. The girl’s had to get changed into a skirt and a t-shirt. The boys had to get changed into pants and a t-shirt too. The whole of our school and some parent’s were in the hall. Once the other classes had finished it was our turn, When our danced finished I was feeling really overwhelmed.

Film Festival 2013

“ YAY”. I shouted with excitement .

At 9:30 in the morning the whole school of Saint Pius X was going to Sylvia Park. We were going to go to Sylvia park because we were participating in the Manaiakalani Film Festival. We got our seats in the bus, then zoomed off to Sylvia Park. When we got to Sylvia Park we walked to the Hoyts. Soon as we got into the theatre there was another school called Glen Innes Primary.

I  had got to sit near the bottom with my friend Rachel and Tokilupe.

Soon as everybody had settled down the light’s had slowly turned off. A movie had started we then had seen to students from our class Alecia and Patrick. They then had a short speech for what we have been learning about. After they had said their speech they jumped off the stage. The movie had began. I was so excited. I was so excited because my class movie was all about success.

I loved it because it had this song called Roar by Katy Perry. When it had showed my group I was so proud of my group. For my group I was the director. When our movie was near the end we had our class Hi Fiving and jumping it looked really awesome.

The best movie that I had really thought was from Glen Innes primary there movie was called “What happened if there was no Chocolate in the World”. I really loved it because they had really acted out good.

When we had watched some of the movies we got into a line and walked out of Sylvia Park, we got into the bus with my whole class and Room 4, Room 5 also some Room 7. It was such a great sunny  day. We were all happy when we got to school to have our lunch.

Squash

Woosh there went the ball past me with heaps of might.

On Monday straight after morning tea our class went to the hall to play squash. We got to go for 45 minutes. Soon to men introduced themselves to us, one of them was so tall, his name was Phil. He showed us some basic’s about squash. Phil showed us the big black wall that we were going to use to play squash. “The ball will hit the wall then the other person will have to hit it back and it will go on and on until one of you get out” Phil explained.

Michael showed us how to hit and where not to hit. Soon Phil split our class into two groups. When I had my first shot it was so cool because that was my first time playing squash. In the meantime we had to swap we had to get a squash racket and a squash ball, the squash ball was really soft and bouncy.

The squash ball was really bouncy. After a few seconds later Phil told us to bounce the ball then flip the racket over. I tried and tried, when I tried to hit the ball it went the wrong way, but it was still fun learning new skills. At the end Phil told us that he will see us on Tuesday. Before we went to class Michael asked us if we still remembered some of the squash rules, he asked us to tell him some. In the meantime we had to go back to class.

The best number one female for squash is , Nicol David, and the best number one male for squash is Ramy Ashour. Squash was invented in Harrow school around 1830. Harrow school is in England. What you wear for squash is a pair of shoes and glasses to stop the ball hitting on your face, also a T-shirt and shorts.

Duffy Theatre

“Yay today we have a Duffy Theatre show”. On the Twenty Third of September after morning tea we had a Duffy Theatre. The Duffy theatre comes to our school to tell us about reading and an experience of acting.

There were three of them, two men and one lady. There was a sign that said Duffy Loses his words.  There was laughter because there was one man wearing a woman's dress and a wig, he was pretending to be a teacher. When this weird looking, evil guy came, duffy is sleeping. Vautre the mean, evil looking guy blows in Duffy’s ears. Duffy moves side to side, and then he wakes up and said “ Whoa, who are you and why are you here?”.  The mean ugly looking guy put a toilet plunger on Duffy’s head and said “this will take all of your great, amazing words and they will be mine.

After a while Duffy was with Afi, his best friend. When Duffy woke up he heard his mum saying “ hurry up Duffy you're going to be late for school”. Duffy was going to take the rubbish out but it had been the wrong box. A few minutes later Duffy said “where is my toys?”. At breakfast he had Weetbix, his mum went off and he said “I will just use some sugar because mum was gone”. Duffy had thought that it was the sugar but it was the salt. He couldn’t read anything because Vautre had taken his words. Finally Duffy and his friend Afi got his words back by tricking Vautre.

When they had finished they gave out three books and a certificate to three students. They took some photos when they got it and when they were acting, it was so cool. My favourite thing about the acting was when the boy put a dress and a wig on. I hope next term they will come again.

My Kids For Kids

“ Yay today is kids 4 kids” I shouted.

On Friday the thirteenth of September it was the Kids for Kids. The Kids for Kids was in Mangere. When me and my dad and brother were about to leave I grabbed my bottle and ran to the car. We went I was so excited. After we had got off the Southern motorway there was for ways we could go my dad said to me “do you remember the way to go?”, “No” I said to my dad. We tried almost every road, I said to my dad  look there's heaps of cars and people coming out of the car with their children”. I looked ”YAY” and it was where we had to go.

We jumped out of the car and walked to the backstage. I told my dad that it was freezing. I quickly ran inside the building. “Wait up” said my dad. I then saw a lot of students with colorful T - shirts and pants, I didn't see anyone in my class. I then saw someone wearing silver sparkling clothes and waving at me, and it was Miss G with a big smile on her face. My dad and brother went to go find their seat. I saw some students in my class like Alecia, Kanesini, Faleaka, Ma’ata, Joanna, Rosalina, Tokilupe, Stephanie,  Seuati, Paul and Manu.

I sat down and there were a lot of crazy students from other schools. When we sat down Miss G let us play with the knuckle bones and the monkey barrel, almost all of us were playing with the monkey barrel. When it was time to go on stage we had to get into a line that we had lined up in the morning. I got into the line with another school and with two students from my class. Next Dayna told us to come to the stage. It was so cool walking on the stage and seeing how many people were there in the audience.
