Cross Country

Finally this day had arrived. We had been waiting for this day because we had been training a lot to lose weight and it was the perfect day.

On Tuesday 13th August we had Cross Country. When lunch time was over we had to walk to the tennis courts and sit behind the chairs with our ages on it. After when we sat behind the chairs the 13 year old people ran with the 12 year old people. Miss G had the blocks in her hand and she said “on your marks, get set, go” and they were all running and I cheered them on, I said good luck to Catherine. When they were running our parents, teachers and students were also watching too.

Finally it was my groups turn and Miss G clapped the blocks hard and we ran off. Me and Kalo were running together and we stopped during the course. I saw the St. Mary’s College girls encouraging us. At the end I really felt exhausted and thirsty and really hot.

When we all finished our run our teacher Miss G and Mrs Tui said to us that we had to go and watch the Junior races on the field. Mos Moodley was leading them around the field and I was cheering for Savelio’s sister Malia, she came 2nd place and lily came 1st. After that it came to the oldest and I was also was cheering for Lynley but Malia was running really fast. Finally all the races were finished so Miss G said for us to go back to class and get our bags and then line up. When we were going to go back to class I saw my mum waiting for me and so I went home.

The Assumption Of Mary

Why do we celebrate the Assumption?

We celebrate the Assumption because it is Mary’s Heavenly Birthday on the 15 of August. After Mary had died no one knew if Mary’s body had gone. Pope Pius declared it to be true that Mary’s body went to heaven. When Mary got to heaven she became the Queen of heaven and she was placed in the middle of God Our Father and Jesus Christ. People in the world say Mary went into a dormition, a dormition means when someone goes into deep sleep. Some say that she had passed away and went up to heaven and that’s why they call it the Assumption.

Camping Holiday

Camping Holiday

Once there lived a family with a brother and a sister. Dad came back from work with a new tent. His son Jake and his daughter Kimba helped put up the tent in the backyard. Kimba sat proudly in the doorway. She thought it was a new kennel just for herself.

Dad said “We’re not staying in a motel these holidays.....We’re going camping.” Mum said “It will be so quiet”. Dad said “No shops and no telephones. Just the trees, the birds and lots of fishing”. Kimba said “What about tv?” and then Dad said “Who needs tv”. Mum packed boxes of canned food and Dad also packed the fishing rod and the gas cooker. Dad got Kimba’s dog bowl and her mat to lie on.

When they were about to leave dad said don’t forget anything because we are not coming back and there aren't any shops. Dad checked all of the stuff that they needed and they were off. They left the city behind and drove out through the countryside and while they were in the car Kimba and Jake played I Spy. Meanwhile the got to there and they helped unpack the stuff and when they were doing that they said that they forgot the tent.

So after that they put their stuff away in the car and they went home.
