Reflection on being a smart learner.

St Patricks day

20/4/19

On Monday the 18th the whole school went to Mass because we were celebrating St Patrick's Day. St Patrick is a saint. Father Andrew was preaching about why we celebrate St Patrick's Day and that this day is really important to us. Then church ended and we walked back to school for Jump Jam.

After morning tea, everyone had to meet under the canopy because Mrs Bullot, the principal had to call out the team members and team leaders. We all had Irish names. Then we went to our first activity. I was very excited because we were going to room 8. 

It was a very fun activity but we didn't have enough time because Mrs. Bullot rang the bell and that meant we had to go to the next station on the list (we only had 10 minutes before Mrs Bullot rang the big bell.) I liked Mrs George's game because I liked throwing the boots as far as I could. I loved playing that game. 
After all of the activities I was happy because we had all had fun. I was tired at the same time. For an award, the whole school got a lemonade ice block.

Monday was a very special day for us because of St Patrick. I can't wait to do it again next year.

The Holidays

In the holidays I went to the beach with my family.  We went to the beach in our car.  

When we got to the beach we set up our mat, our bags and also our food.  Next we ate our chips and watermelon.  The watermelon tasted very juicy and delicious.  

After we had eaten we went for a swim in the sea.  The sea was warm and it was nice to swim in.  My mum taught me how to swim.  Then we to the water fountain to swim.  The water was cold.

Later we got dressed into our clothes.  We had fun at the beach and I had a good time!

Having Fun On Mission Day

On Friday we went to church because it was Mission Day.  After church we went back to school and Father Matthew blessed our new playground.  Then my Mum, Dad and sister came.  

Next it was playtime and I played with my friends.  After playtime my sister bought some plants from Mrs Mansfield and a box of cupcakes from the Room 7 boys.  The box of cupcakes was $5.  I didn't to eat them because they were for my mum and my sister.  My sister also bought some lollies from Sister Evalesi.  I think she bought six boxes altogether.  I got to eat some of the lollies and so did my twin brother, Willietony.  

Then it was lunch time.  I ate two sausage sizzles with tomato sauce and they were yum.  My brother also got two sausage sizzles.  After lunch I watched a movie while we ate some popcorn.  The popcorn tasted salty and I liked it.  

Before going home we had the raffle draw.  I didn't win anything but my brother Willietony won two Lego Ninjagos.  I helped him to fix them and he shared one of them with our younger brother called Cosma.  I wanted the Buzzy Bee, but I didn't win it.  Maybe I will win something next year.  I love Mission Day because I had fun.  We raised lots of money for the orphans in India.

Being With My Family

In the school holidays I went to my auntie's family  funeral because my auntie's brother died.  All of my family went to the funeral.  The funeral was in the church and my auntie said the prayer.   First some of the grown ups went up the front of the church and talked in Samoan.  I could not understand what they were saying because I can't speak Samoan.   My auntie cried and I couldn't see if any one else cried because I was sitting at the back.  Later we ate in the church and I ate a pizza and a cake.  After we had eaten we went home.

At home I played hide and seek with my brothers, and I was in.  My brothers' names are Willietony and Cosma.  Then I found my little brother and he got a fright.
Then I found Willietony and he screamed.  Then it was Willietony's turn.  I was hiding under the bed.  Willietony found me under the bed.  I screamed too when Willietony found me under the bed.  I had a good holiday playing with my brothers.
