Today we had to do a screen shot of  Maths Whizz. This what I screen shot. I am on Crafty Circles on maths and that group is stage 5.

Catholic School Day

On a beautiful sunny Tuesday on May 21st 2013 was Catholics School’s Day.

The whole school went and lined up so we can all could go to church. When we got there the St Joseph’s pupils were coming up the hill to go to the church.

When we walked inside the church St Joseph’s were sitting on the other side. There were two priests and one of them was our priest and the other was from St Joseph’s, and his name was Father Terry.

We started the mass at the church. Father did the gathering blessing then the readings and the Psalm. The Psalm was sung by Deja and Latanoa. They sang very well and their voices were beautiful.

After all the readers and the Psalm it was communion time. While we were going up for communion we sang a song and it was ‘Jesus so Beautiful’.

When the mass was finished Mrs Tui told us what classes we go with from St Joseph’s. When Miss Tui finish telling us what classes St Joseph’s goes too, we stood outside of the church and waited for the classes.

It was lunchtime when we came out of the church. Our class had to go and get their lunch and go outside. When our class went outside we had to sit with the St Joseph’s Room 2. Joshua, Rosalina and I were sitting next to the girls. I asked one of them “what is your name?” and she said ”my name is Sahara”. When the bell rang to finish eating I went and hung around with some from St Joseph’s school students. Salote took photos of us.

Maths Reflection

In my maths this term our class goes on Math Whizz. I like maths whizz because I can learn new things and also it is very fun. 

We go on Xtra maths, sometimes it is very hard. Xtra maths is very fun though. 

Maths Whizz helps us learn addition and subtraction so we can be clever on maths.

In Addition and Subtraction I am on Stage 5.

My Pencil

A pencil is made of wood. and is hard like a rock. It is a very useful tool.

The pencil is as thin as a felt and a pen and also a paintbrush. Inside the pencil is a lead,, if you hit it on something the inside will break. It is a long item that we use to write with.

The pencil is sharp, also some of the pencils are colourful. It is very easy to hold a pencil. They can be blunt like a flat tyre but it is better when it is pointy.

Some pencils can be a circle shape and some can be a hexagon shape. We use the pencil to write and also we do creative stuff with it. Some have rubbers on top of the pencil.

My drawing friend is sometimes in the classroom or at home or maybe inside my school bag.

My pencil is like holding a light brick also it is very special because you can keep it and also it is seen at the desk or at the office where you buy a pencil.

My Mother

My Mother is a good mother, also she is like a friend to me, she is always there for me.

Her hair is kind of blonde and her eyes are brown s a chocolate. I help her with the dishes if she needs help after she cooks for us. After work she always picks me and my brother up from school, sometimes she takes us shopping.

She likes going out with her friends and hanging out with them and also she likes me to get a good report and she doesn't like staying at home by herself because she gets bored.

My mother is special to me because she always loves me and my brothers and also she teaches us things.

She helps me with my homework. My mum supports me and sends me to school. She always looks after me and does jobs for us.

My beautiful mother is special to me because she is the best and also she loves me and she wants me to be the best person I can be.
