El Grego

On Friday El Grego came to school to do magic show in the hall. El Grego was teaching us about bullying. My favourite part was when El Grego pulled the African grey parrot out of the wooden bucket.

First,  El Grego pulled the parrot out of the bucket then he put the parrot, called Ruby, onto his shoulder. He tried to make it talk to him, but Ruby said, “No.”

Bullies Poem

Bullies are mean, stupid and unkind
We wish they weren't invented
Please God, make them kind to us
Or we will leave them behind.

The Flying Fox

I woke up one morning. When I got up, I was excited to go on the flying fox and, when we got to the flying fox, Kaea and Jakora and I were bouncing up and down, then we fell off and Jakora landed in a silver boat, but Kaea and I fell into the cold water. Mitchell yanked us out of the freezing cold water. We ended up with soft seaweed in our hard throats.

Holy Thursday Liturgy

Holy Thursday Liturgy

It was now the time of Passover. Jesus’ followers came to Him and said, “We will go and prepare everything for the Passover Feast. Where do you want to eat the feast?” Jesus answered, “Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. He will go into a house. Tell the owner of the house, “The teacher wants you to prepare the room for the Passover meal.” So the followers left and went into the city and prepared the Passover Feast.

In the evening, Jesus went to that house with the twelve. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread and gave God thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and eat it; this is my body which will be given up for you.”





  
When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave God thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and drink from it; this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.”

After some time, Jesus got up from the table and went to a different part of the room.  He put a large towel around him, making himself look like a servant.  After that, he poured water into a large bowl and began to wash the disciples' feet.  He then dried them with the towel that was wrapped around Him.

When Jesus had finished washing all of the disciples’ feet, he returned to the table.  "Do you understand what I have done for you?"  Jesus asked them.
Jesus is like a King - but even greater than a king, He's the King of Kings!  By washing the disciples’ feet, He was doing something that only a servant would do.
This is an example of how you should treat others.  You don't have to actually wash other people's feet, but do kind things to others and act like a servant for Jesus.

Wildfire

In March, Wildfire, the hot air balloon, came to our school. It was gigantic. It was Yellow, red and orange. The basket was made of cane.

I was excited because I got a ride in Wildfire. My friends and I climbed into the hot air balloon. It was warm. Underneath the burner, it felt like a burning  bonfire. It warmed me up and warmed my friends up too. I  was excited to get a ride in the hot air balloon with my friend. It just hovered over top of the ground.

It got me really excited to see such a big balloon. The balloon was awesome too. I  was happy just like Craig and Jack.
