TRIP TO KELLY TARLTONS!!!

On a wonderful morning the whole school went on a wonderful trip to Kelly
Tarltons. We were so lucky to go on this experience because we got the chance
to see different kind of underwater species.
I was really excited to go on this trip because this was going to be my  first time
seeing sharks, penguins and etc.
When I got to school the whole school were in the hall and practising songs for
the mass of our Feast Day. Later on some students went down to the streets to
see if our buses had arrived so we could leave for Kelly Tarltons. After that we all
had to hop in the bus and at the same time we were excited. It took us 10
minutes to get there, maybe a bit more because the bus driver went through
shortcuts and it was so long.

Later on we got to the Aquarium Kelly Tarltons, when we got there I just saw this
little house, so then I asked Catherine “ Catherine, have you been here “ she
replied “ Yes, I have, what you see is a little house, but when you go inside you
have to go way down to see the species” I replied “ Okay, this is going to be fun
After that Mrs Tui all told us to go through this little house and go down, when
she told us that I was so excited. Later on when we were still walking, this host
who was taking us down she said that we are going to through “SCOTT'S HUT “,
Scott's Hut is a copy of his hut in Antarctica, this hut is still there in Antarctica.
What I saw was food, warm clothing and many things to wear in the winter. The
reason Scott had to wear these warm things because it is cold in Antarctica and
also the temperature in Antarctica is 100% cold.
Finally we got a chance to see real penguins instead of looking at penguins
online. The penguins were so cute, there were other penguins that were
separated from the others because they are not supposed to be together with
them before they attack each other.

After that we went through this spinning tunnel, when you see it the outside is
only spinning but when there is a pathway it doesn’t spin, so we walked through
it, we had to try and stop us from spinning around.
After that very tiring experience we now went to see the other species of fish and
also the sting rays. There was this woman who went into the stingray pool and
these other cool fishes were swimming in it. She told us that she is going to feed
the stingrays, but the stingrays weren’t hungry because maybe they fed them
before she came in.

Later on we had to go through this tunnel and on top of us were fish and also on
the left and right side there were fish as well. There were stingrays, different kind
of fish, different types of sharks and also there was this creature that stays real
still. never moves, but they can only suck their food up.

Later on we went to see the seahorses, the seahorses were so cute and so
small, they were smaller than my hand. After that we went to this classroom that
someone comes in and tells us everything that happens to the sea creatures if
they are going to die, then they will give us a dried SeaHorse, a Sharks teeth and
also a sharks egg.

Later on when class was finished we all had to go outside and get ready to go
back to school to start writing about our experience.

REVOLUTION VISIT 2K15!!!

REVOLUTION VISIT!!!

On a tiring afternoon, after our Feast Day we had a talented group that visited us to tell us about cyber bullying. WHY CYBER BULLYING? because in this school we do a lot of bullying by making people crying, making people upset and also getting into fights with other people.

Later on they told us 3 important things to remember to do if someone bullies you/someone, the first one is to tell a adult if you are bullied, second one is to say sorry, say sorry so you can be friends again and the last one is to get 3 of our friends to try and stop the fight/stop the bullying that is happening.

After that they asked one person from each year level to come up and show us how talented SPX is, so they got up stood there and waited for the music to start, they gave them 10 seconds to show their cool dance moves.

There were talented people, the person that won was Justin from Room 7/Year 8, they were dancing to the song “ SILENTO “.

Later on they told us to all get up and show us how talented the teachers and students are, so we got up and got so crazy and started dancing, they were giving us tickets to go to there concert and also lollies for the rest, I got a ticket to go to their concert.

THAT VISIT MADE MY DAY A GREAT ONE!!!

SPX FEAST DAY!!!!

SPX FEAST DAY!!!

On a very sunny day it was an exciting day, it was St Pius X feast day. First

thing in the morning we had to go to the church. Once we got to the church

we had to sit on the seats and wait for Father to come. We waited for

everyone to sit down so we could start our mass. The teachers and the

students were so quiet while we were waiting. After that Annalisa went up to say her introduction to welcome people to our mass, when he had finished his reading we had to stand up and sang while Father is walking in the isle, then we carried on with the mass.

After the mass we had to go to eat our massive cake that says Happy Feast day St Pius X. Once everyone was ready Mrs Tui said “ Can everyone sing a song called Happy Feast day St Pius”. After we sang the

song Mrs Tui and the year 8 girls went and cut the cake into pieces and they had to give it out to each class. Once everyone finished their cake they had to go and have morning tea. So Mrs Williams told each class to get their morning tea.

THAT WAS THE BEST FEAST DAY EVER!!!!!

WHO AM I????

My skin colour is the colour of the rainbow, just so you know we all need to know what a rainbow is, when it rains the beautiful rainbow comes out and it shines brightly upon me, but sometimes it shines upon my friends underwater.

The things I hate is when my friends are noisy when I am trying my best to listen to my parents because sometimes I do not listen, I hate when my family does not care for and look after me and also I really hate when my friends tell bad things about me having more colourful scales every month.

I have small eyes just like a little piece of trash, I have baby teeth just like a human baby's teeth, I eat seaweed under the water just like the other fishes and also I do not go school but my friends in earth they go school to learn and become great learners.

If you didn't know what my name was, it was the Native Australian Rainbow Fish.

I am Unique, I am Special I am just myself no one judges me to do this and to do that, I am just myself I do not want to be judged I can just do whatever I want.

RAINBOW FISH STORY!!!!

Write a response to what I think about what Rainbow Fish did. Should he do it or not? Why?

15 minutes to finish it.

I think that Rainbow Fish made a good choice to give one scale to the other fishes, why is because the other fishes were upset that Rainbow Fish didn’t give one sparkly scale to them.

3 -­ 4 Reason’s why:

1. Because he wanted to be friendly with his friends because he wanted to think about his friends instead of thinking about himself.

2. Because he wanted to show the virtue of Sharing & Loving by giving one sparkly scale to his friends.

3. Because he wanted his friends to be happy instead of crying for just one scale.

4. Because he wanted to give his scales instead of receiving new scales.

I think that Rainbow fish made good choices to give a scale to his friends because he should be giving instead of receiving because that will be showing the footsteps of Jesus and also showing the virtue of Love.

FIRST HOCKEY LESSON!!!

Reflection on Hockey

Today we had wonderful session playing Hockey, Hockey is not a popular sport here in New Zealand maybe but for me it is not. Room 7 was all in the Hall, when we were settled we saw our Hockey Instructor ( Unknown ) But I think that he is really good at playing Hockey.

Later on he was getting us into groups so that it can be equal for all of us, well I was in group #1 and the rest were split up into groups. After that we had a warmup, the warmup was to run from one side to the other. After that we were all tired from running from one side to the other. Later on we played another one it is slightly the same from running but this time it is bear crawling from one side to the other that game was sort of boring and tiring because you have to crawl with your knees up.

Later on the instructor told us to go and stand next to where the hockey bats were, the instructor told us few rules what to do and not do with the bats because it can hurt someone real hard. After that the instructor told us to practise some skills with the hockey bat so we can start learning more tricks with the hockey bats. Later on he told us that we should have a hockey game, so we were split up into 2 equal groups so we can play the game. What we have to do is that we have to play a hockey game and

whoever wins will the the winners of the day.

After that we all had to say a big THANK YOU to our instructor for coming to our school to come and teach us playing hockey, he will coming into our school for the next 4 weeks or 6 weeks to teach us to play hockey.

I really enjoyed my first lesson of playing Hockey!!
