St Paul

St Paul

In Te Whare Hauora we had to write about one of St Paul's acts. I decided to do one about when he didn't like people who followed jesus and what happened because of that. Here is my story.

Saul was a man who didn't like people who followed Jesus.
 Saul would put Jesus' followers in jail or even kill them.
 One day Saul and his followers were on
their way to Damascus to put some catholics in jail.
while they were walking a sudden light shone upon him.

A voice started talking to Saul. It said Saul, Saul why are you Hurting me.
 who are you Saul replied. I am whom you are hurting, Jesus.
 Go into the city and you will be told what to do Said Jesus.
Saul go up to go to the city but he couldn't see, he had been blinded

Sauls followers had to lead him into Damascus. Saul was blinded for three days.
Then Ananias, A disciple of Jesus was told by Jesus to lay his hands on saul
but Ananias was scared because he had heard of the thing that Saul had done,
 But Ananias obeyed Jesus and lay his hands on Saul. At that moment something like scales fell from Saul's eyes and he could see again. After that day Saul changed his name to Paul and devoted his life to studying and telling people about Jesus.

The Roman Aquaducts

The Roman Aqueducts

An aqueduct is an a arch like structure that the Romans built to to bring water from outside sources into the cities. Roman aqueducts were built over the period of about 500 years. Parts of the aqueducts remain in modern-day parts of France, Spain, Greece, North Africa, and Turkey. 11 aqueducts were built to bring water to Rome from 92 km away. Despite how old they are some of the aqueducts are still in use and they provide modern-day Rome with water.

Raggy Mc Waggy

In NZ Heroes we wrote story inspired by the hairy maclary books. Here is mine:

Raggy mc Waggy

Raggy mc Waggy

Fur soft as can be

As small as a bunny

 and fast like a bee

Went out for a walk

On a summers hot day 

But then came along

 Trouble Mac Hay

Trouble Mac Hay

Steals apples all day

But when he gets bored

He plays in the hay

But when he disturbed

He stomps his hoofs loudly

He huffs and puffs

And then he says loudly

Raggy mc Waggy!

I’ve had enough

Stop running past quickly

And stealing my stuff

I'm getting real angry

So you better run

Cause I'm gonna come

So Run! Run! Run!

Raggy mc Waggy

Runs past all the houses

Till she gets home

To hide in her basket

The Magpies

The Magpies
By Denis Glover

1. ‘The bracken made their beds’
It means their beds were made out of bracken.

2. ‘Toms hand was strong to the plough

He is strongly pushing a plough.

3. ‘But all the beautiful crops soon went to the mortgage man instead’

They had to give their crops that they grew to the mortgage man to keep their farm.

4.’Old toms gone light in the head’

His brain isn't working very well and he's forgetting lots of things.

5.’The farms still their. Mortgage corporation couldn't give it away’

The mortgage corporation couldn't give it away because it doesn't have any value and no one wanted it.

My Haiku

In the Garden

Leafs blowing in the wind

Trees whispering quietly

Sun glowing down on me

Marcellin Champanat

Marcellin Champangat Close Activity

2018 Highlights

Highlights

Next year I will be going to intermediate I am going to be going to campion college. Here are two academic highs, to highs, and a goal for next year.

Two academic highs for me this year are math and reading. I chose math and reading because I find math really fun and it feels nice when I finish a question that I have been working really hard on. Also, I think that I have become more confident in it. I chose reading because I have read some really good books this year and the reading tasks that we do in class make make me understand the book more, and I usually learn something new. Two highs for me this year would have to be P.E and art. I chose P.E because I find P.E really fun and I got to play some new games that I really enjoy such as coney island and corner ball. I chose art because I think that we have done some cool art this year and I really enjoy art. A goal for me next year is being more organised by having what I need when I need it. Another goal is believing in myself a lot more.

Athletics

This week we had athletics. We did high jump (optional), long jump , sprints, ball throw. I had a lot of fun doing the rotations. My favorite one was long jump. Here is a picture of sprints.

Unexpected Visitor

Today we had a unexpected visitor and it was Meng Foon the mayor of Gisborne. He came in because he didn't know that we had cancelled our open day at the Hamunatua stream. We told him about what we had been doing in our groups. My group told him why we had planted harakeke under the bridge. We planted harakeke because if any one fell of their bike they wouldn't fall in the river instead they would fall on the flax bush. This is a photo of my class with Meng Foon.

My Speech

For the last 2 weeks in room 1 we have been writing our speeches. This week we have been sharing them. I was really nervous to share mine. After the whole class shares their speeches some of us go to the semi finals and then the finals. Here is my speech topic.

Mahia Fun

       "Woohoo!" I feel happy that we're finally here.

I could taste the salty air as I walked down a path that leads to the beach.

I could hear waves crashing. Quickly I ran towards the water.

“Whats for lunch?”my sister asked. Although it was a little windy, I was still having fun.

The shiny, glimmering, blue sea looked beautiful. Why is it that we have to leave so soon?

I had such a fun time “Yay!!!”
