Birthdays!

My Cousin had just turn 10 yesterday, the weather was warm and fizzy.
We celebrated her birthday at my aunt's house, as we watched her blow out her candles.
My favorite part was watching her blow out the candles for she has been living for 10 years, life is short and you don't know when it ends.

Maths!

Today it took, hard work and a lot of effort to work on our Shapes. Who Knew it would be hard.
My understanding of the shapes were that it was hard to move around and work around. Even when the shapes were different it still took a bit of hard work.

In my Leadership Group we have been Progressing Fast!, its all about keeping Positive. Clearly in Auckland the weather can always change to sunny, grey, wet, and super hot. Fingers Cross! its does. Everyone in the group have put a lot of hard work in to this event to happened. The Basketball Tournament is one of the plans for the Leadership Groups it only started about a year ago. Its beginning to be a tradition now. Basketball, is getting popular by the minute. Hopefully in the future we will be able to add a basketball team in our school.

Last Term my class had a basketball tournament of there own. It was Wild. Everyone was all in for the game, they were truly amazing I thought. They were quick on there feet, jumping, leaping, as the ball was bouncing in to different directions. Lucky for me I got a quick snap of there movement, every little exciting bit of it. Defending was one of the photos.

Feast Day Of Saint Pius

Today we celebrated the Feast Day of Saint Pius. The started out heavy and grey, with rain pouring heavily. Students stumbling through the puddles making there way to the church. It seem really grey and wet. I quickly ran to the office to drop my bag and run. Dipping the tips of my fingers into the round wooden bowl, as I quickly enter in without a head turning. We sat and carefully listen to the readings of the gospel, Father talked about a story how a poor boy named Jimmy who would go to the front of the altar and say Jesus Jimmy is here. It was a very lovely story. Mass ended, we were all told to go to the hall where we would have our our slice of cake. What I would say my favourite quotes from Saint Pius that he said I was Born Poor, I lived Poor, I wished to Die Poor.
