At the beginning of this term we learned how to write Haiku poems.They come from Japan. The first part has 5 syllables on the second part it has 7 syllables then on the other part is 5 syllables again this is my Haiku poem.

I was floating on                          

the water it was very

lumpy, exhausted.

Last Friday it was Mission Day. When I came to school I saw all of the students dressed in mufti clothes. I was so excited to wear our own clothes but the thing was that I was a tiny bit of scared, but when I saw my friends I was excited but something got into my head so I checked my bag if I got it but I literally forgot my coins for the fundraising for Holy Angels Orphanage in India. When I hung my bag on the hanger I went to Franchesca in Room 8. We started talking then after talking the bell rang and we went to class and started to get ready for mass.

Then after getting ready for mass and doing the roll call we lined up and started walking nice and quick because we were a little late. After that we went inside and we went to go and sit down but I went to another seat because I was doing the prayers of the faithful. I was the first reader and then I sat down and Lia from Room 8 gave us our prayers then I started practising my own prayers of the faithful. Then Sr Evalesi came to us and said,”Go next to the microphone and speak loud”,then we said,”okay”.

After that the mass started and all of the school sang. After that when the priest was doing his homily he called the prayers of the faithful and all of the prayers of the faithful came in front of the altar and bowed then I started doing my prayer. After church we came back and started sitting down on the mat. Then Miss Kyle explained to us that morning tea is going to start early, then we were waiting, then the bell rang and we all rushed outside and we prepared everything and we were all ready for the other bell to ring. The first group was  group 4.

Our group was group 4 after that the bell rang and we all went and we started doing our jobs then it was time for the other team to come and do our job we were all  taking turns and then I went to get some candies and some keychain’s then we all had a rest and we had our sausage and ice blocks and we were all watching some movies.Then we started doing our prayers then we went to the canebbi and did some prizes after that we did another prayer then we all went home happy and exhilarated with smiles on our faces.

Last Thursday morning I had to come in my PE gear because we were having cycling lessons. We met Stephanie and Lucy preparing the bikes for Room 7 and Room 6. Some students in room 7 and 6 went with Stephanie, some went with Lucy. Lucy first helped us with our bikes .

After getting our bikes down the bottom court Lucy explained some instructions to us and then we started off cycling one by one so we could be comfortable. Then we had other games like we went in circles and practised doing our hand signals. When it was the end of our cycling we packed up and Lucy helped us to lift up our bikes and put them down on the grass. 

The best part for me was practising our hand signals and I felt amazing and exhilarated and a little bit  exhausted at the end of the day.

On Wednesday half of Room 7 Room 6 and 8 had to go in our PE clothes  I was really exhilarated to meet children from the other schools at Dunkirk Park. The field was huge and it was big. After that long walk we could finally rest so I put my bag down and took  off my shoes. After that  I saw Stanhope school they were really kind to me they also became friends with me. After that Annamaria’s mum called us in and we had a little practice throwing to each other. It was fun and then we got ready to verse other schools. It was my first time getting a try cause I was really scared of them. I sidestepped every one of them who tried to rip my tag. After scoring my team gathered up and we started to cheer for the other team.

After cheering for their team we got in to a line and hive five them we all said “good game guys”to all of them. We went back to our bags and got our water bottles and drank up to get ready for our next game with Panmure District. They had fast players in their team but I didn’t mind and I ran with all my might and ripped off their tags. I was exhausted and my legs were tired. Then I took a breath. I was so relieved. Then our last game was against Pt England. They were so good and after that we still congratulated them. Then we all gathered up and took a picture and started walking back to school. I had such a great day.

Last week Monday I heard about Keith Haring, and American artist and I found out interesting facts – that he was born on May 4, 1958 and he grew up in Kutztown, Pennzylvania. He also worked with children in schools to paint large murals with them and he died in 1990 and kids continue doing large murals.

My chosen athlete’s name is Georgia Rose Brown and she is an artistic gymnast. I heard that she has won three commonwealth games medals and she is 29 years old and she was named after by King George ll. Her old name use to be Varkan.  Also, if you’re wondering when the Modern Olympics started, they started in 1896.

Back to Keith Haring – he was so interested in drawing that he also never stopped drawing. The art we made was like Keith Haring’s and he was known for  his colourful works. I drew my athlete in pencil. Then I cut it out and chose yellow to trace my athlete onto. After that I cut it out and stuck it on green and blue paper. It’s cool.

Some people think that turtles and tortoises are the same, however, they are different in many ways. Yes, they may look similar but they are totally two different creatures. Turtles live in water while tortoises live on land. Both lay eggs on land and both are herbivores although turtles eat worms and small fish. Tortoises on the other hand have thick rounded shells like a dome but turtle shells are flatter and thinner. Turtles live for 20-30 years but tortoises can live for 100-150 years and that’s a lot of years for an animal life.
