Once upon a time there was a lion sleeping in his cave and then a Mouse came and he was climbing on the lion's paw. The lion woke up and the lion got the mouse with his paw and the mouse said "let me go, let me go". The lion said "why did you wake me up?" The mouse said "because I want to look in your cave." The mouse said "call me when you are in trouble". But the lion said "but you are only a mouse" mouse said "I know I am only a mouse" and the lion was laughing.
The mouse went back to his mum. The lion was Roaring and the mouse heard the roar again and the mouse saw the lion trapped. The mouse said "be quiet before the trappers come and kill you." After that the lion said "but you are a mouse how can you help me?" the mouse said "just wait" and the mouse chewed and chewed. Then the lion was free to go back to his cave. The lion said "I won't laugh at you again."

A SUPERB EXCITING DAY OF BADMINTON
On a beautiful sunny day, it was an exciting day, as we were going for badminton in the school hall.
After reading Mrs Pole said, “Everybody pack up because we are going to badminton.” So we packed up and took our shoes off and put them under our desks.
When we got into the hall we sat down and waited for Room 5 to finish. So we waited and they were gone. Then we said, “Good Morning Glorinne”, then she said, “Good Morning. ” But before we started we had to get a buddy. My buddy was Annalise and Alecia’s buddy was Kalo.
Next we got two short racquets and one shuttle and we started playing around.
After that Glorinne put out some nets that said Mini Badminton. Victoria and Joshua were challenging Annalise and I. We won 6 times and Victoria and her partner won 7 times.
Meanwhile Petra and her partner came in and challenged us as well. We won again and again .“ Why are there three of you on each side?”, Glorinne cried. Then we said “ We don’t know.” So Petra and her partner sat down on the bench.
Finally Glorinne blew her whistle because Room3 were coming to play badminton so we lined up and walked to class.
My highlight was when we won 6 times, I am so proud of Annalise and I.

A Exciting Day At Badminton.
On a still Tuesday morning the weather was still and calm but also quiet. Then Room 4 and I rushed out quickly to go to BADMINTON. After that when we settled down we got started.
First of all we buddied up with a parnter. My partner was Kalolaine. We all got a short racquet because it is easier to hit with. Kalo and I were pretty good at hitting it to each other without a net. Then we got to hit it over the nets. Kalo and I were versing Vaine and Kanesini. At the end of the game the points were 5-3. Kalo and I won that game. But then another disappointment! We lost some games but we still had fun. Our coaches name was " Glorrine. "
At badminton I felt disappointment because Kalo and I lost most of the games. My highlight of badmintion was when we were hitting it to each other without a net, I lid that because it was easy and fun.

A Letter To Kanesini
Dear Kanesini,
On Wednesday 9 November it was a exciting day because were going Hoyts to see other schools’ movies.
We went by bus. When we got into the fancy bus we had to sit with our partner. My partner was Rosalina, Annalise’s partner was Alecia.
When we arrived at Hoyts we sat on red, comfy chairs. We got really excited to see our movies so we got ready to see our movies. When it started we cheered for St Pius. “Go St Pius,” I cried.
Tokilupe and this boy were the first one to get on stage to say a little speech before Room7’s movie started
When Room7’s movie started I was excited because it was funny but when it came up to the song I was about to cry because when Rollen was sitting on the bottom of the St Pius sign and he was looking around the school, it looked like he was really lonely.
After that it was Point England’s turn to show their movie. I was wondering what Point England’s movie was about, so it was about to start.
Meanwhile I sat back and waited until it started so then I heard a sound, it was Point England’s movie. It was about a Samoan song, it was called O le Pepe. I loved that song very much.
After Point England’s movie it was Tamaki Primary’s turn to show their movie.Their movie was about dancing, it had music, the music was Move Your Body by Beyonce. It was my favourite because I love dancing that’s why.
Next it was Glenbrae’s turn to show their special movie. When it started I sat back and got ready to watch Glenbrae’s movie. It was about rubbish. I thought it was about going for a picnic but I was wrong.
Later on it was St Pius’s turn to show their movie. It was Room 8’s turn. It was about a wallet. My brother was the taxi driver. It was funny because Maila was trying to find her wallet. When it finished we had to leave Hoyts because the Film Fest finished but I was sad I didn’t want to leave but we had to go. So we got out and hopped on the bus.
When we arrived at school we had lunch. A few minutes later we packed our bags and went home. That was the funniest time ever.
Love from Rosrine.

Dear Kanesini
On Wednesday the 9 of November we went straight to the Film Fest instead ofJump
Jam, prayers, line up, math, R.E. We went under the shelter and called out the roll and waited there. When we are ready Mrs Pole said chose a partner so we got a partner .
After that Mrs Pole told us to stand up so we walked to the bus and Rm’s 1,2,and 4 and Rm 3 went on the bus at the back of us.Mrs Pole called them but I don’t know what Mrs Koloti said . And Mrs Pole came back and the driver started the engine and he drove off and Mrs Pole nearly fell over!
Mafu always tells people to sit down on the bus. We got to Panmure and then Sylvia Park .We drove through the Pak’n’Save and the Hoyts. The door of the bus opened and we got out of the bus and walked on the footpath of the road, it was raining .I said to myself, “I don’t care when it’s raining I can get wet .”
After that we got inside and it looked so beautiful. I walked inside. I sat on a very soft chair and the lights were off. The schools were Panmure Bridge, St Pius X and other Schools. When the lights were off I was scared. I was holding onto Vaine’s whole body and it started.
I like all the St Pius X films .My highlight was
when we saw all the St Pius X movies.

A trip to Hoyts
Dear Kanesini
I’d like to tell you about our school trip to Sylvia Park. First we got in the bus, then we drove all the way to Hoyts. Next we went upstairs, then we got to the theatre. Next we sat in the big comfortable chairs at Hoyts.
The Movies were great. There was one about a butterfly. There was a Samoan song in the butterfly movie.
After that it was Room 7’s turn to show their film. It was about a new boy. It was funny because the new boy was all alone and a mum from the play group comes and pats him on the back, and then he got in the classroom. Then he got new friends.

A Fun Time Outside Doing Fireworks
On Saturday night it was Fireworks Day and my mum said if my dad comes early we could do fireworks at night. So I went to my room and watched TV and I fell asleep. After that my dad was here and I heard my mum saying that we could buy a box of fireworks.
So we went to buy a box of fireworks. Next we found a shop at Panmure and it said fireworks sale. After this we went to get a box full of fireworks and it cost 35 dollars and it cost a lot of money.
My mum said “bring the small box then.” Later on I went home and my dad said I am going to have a shower first. Mean while I called my cousin’s house and they said they’re going to come. My cousin’s box was bad boy. When my cousin came I saw her with her sister brother and her mum and her aunty too. Later my dad lit the fireworks and we done the sparkles first. Next our fireworks box was finished and it was fun. After we went inside and I looked at the clock and it was 10 o’clock and my mum said if my dad could go for a ride because my dad hasn’t driven a car before so we went off and came back. After that I came and I went to my room and I fell asleep.

And my mum cried and she gives it to my uncle. After that we went out side and we were dancing. After that we were eating some of the food. After we’d eaten we went to the shop and we got some chips, and some lollies. And we came back from the shop and we gave the food out to every body. And they said thank you and I said thank you and then I passed it the next person.

On Saturday night we had fireworks, we all used rockets. My brother lit them. He got bored so he went and I lit the exploding fireworks.
After that our fireworks nearly ran out so we used the best for last. They were spinners. They were so cool. They went so fast in circles. The colours were green, then orange, then nothing! Then back all over again, it was funny.

On Monday morning it was a beautiful sunny day. I was excited because my family was going to see the ALL BLACKS! So I got changed really fast and then I opened the door of my car and sat down. When we arrived into town we were trying to find parking.
Next we found a special parking, a person was about to take the spot but we took it really quickly! So I opened the door of my van and ran out to see the All Blacks but…. They were not there. All we saw was Rugger he said, “Hi.” And I said, “Hi.” back.
Later on the Close Up man came and talked to us and I was on camera.
Then all the sudden we heard music. It was the mighty All Blacks! First I saw Dan Carter, Aaron Cruden, Ma’a Nonu and Piri Weepu.
After that Richie McCaw was holding up the Rugby World Cup, it was so shiny.
Ma’a Nonu and Piri Weepu were dancing on the van.
After, Ma’a Nonu got interviewed by a woman; Piri Weepu was putting things on his head.
Later on the Parade finished I was so happy that I got to meet the All Blacks.

Dear Mr Burton
Thank you for all you have done for our Catholic school. I appreciate all the wonderful swimming lessons you have given us.
I really enjoyed gliding because I like to slowly flow along the surface of the water. I also really enjoyed floating, kicking and sculling, I enjoyed that because I can see the diference when I scull fast and kick fast or when I scull slow and when I kick fast.
In the past few I have learnt some amazing skills and I would like to tell you some things I have learnt. I have learnt how to float, float, scull, and scull gliding, starfish on my back and stomach. I know how to do the Turtle and I know how to roll around in the water. That's all I know how to do. I hope you will teach me more marvellous swimming lessons.
I feel pleased that you brought that pool to our school. You are mt life saver and you are my hero. Mr Burton I will miss you and so will my class, Room 4.
Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Burton,
Thank you for teaching me how to swim and teaching Room4 how to swim. Especially I enjoyed spending time with you and I would like to say thank you for bringing this warm pool. I like to make a little ball and then flip like a button. He! He! He! I like to do that. Also like to do a starfish on my back and on my stomach too. What I learned from you is how to be a good swimming teacher like you. Alecia and I can do a mermaid. I can't wait to show you Mr Burton we showed it to Mrs Pole on Friday and she said that it was good.
Yours Sincerely

Dear Richie
My sweetest cousin ever, I hope you get better. We felt sorry for you when you had your operation. But you were brave.
Richie at school we had a Junior Mass with Room 1, 2, 3 and 4. I had a part in mass. I was excited and nervous at the same time. I was in the Gospel with Alecia. The actors were Patrick, Joshua and Paul. Patrick was the bad boy and Joshua was the good boy, as usual. When we’d finished our Junior Mass we had Juicy Ice blocks and Chocolate Moro. It was divine.
Richie, I would like to tell you something else. Do you know the Jesus dance? We showed it in front of the whole school. We were the first ones to stand up and do the Jesus dance. We were so nervous. Then it was Seuati’s turn to play on the ukulele.
Richie I’m going to tell you some personal stuff. My personal stuff is my dad came back from Israel. He bought me some presents. My presents were a shiny bag and a Mickey Mouse T-Shirt that says “Hello from Jerusalem” and a shower thing. He bought me a hat as well.
Richie I went to my cousin’s house and her name is Jolynn and her two sisters are Amelia and Silia. We played outside on the swing and we played Ring a of Rosy. It was lots fun. Also we ate chicken, potato and we had a drink called pitch black drink but it was actually grape drink. It was really delicious. I hope you come back to school because you are my best cousin ever and I’ll never stop thinking about you because I love you

Our First Swim
My highlight of our first swim was when we went to the pool and when we got to the pool. I was nervous at the pool because at the pool I thought that it was deep in the pool. The water looked beautiful in the pool and I loved the smell.
Our First Swim
My highlight of our first swim was when Room 4 climbed up the steps and we all went inside. After that I went under the water and it smelt good.
Our First Swim
My highlight of our first swim was when we went around the pool because it was really warm. I felt happy and excited.I liked how we played 'Simon Says.' It was a fun game. First we had to put our hands on the side then next we put our chins in the water.
Our First Swim
My highlight of our first swim was when I got in the pool and went to the edge of the pool and I got so nervous when the pool was deep. But when I got to the middle of the pool I got used to it and I wasn't nervous any more and I was so brave.
Our First Swim
My highlight of our first swim was when we all walked slowly around the pool. I liked it because Mr Burton told us to hold on tightly until... you go under the pool. I felt so proud because I listened to Mr Burton.

Rona and the Moon (retold by Alecia)
A long time ago in a Maori village Marama the moon was shining brightly, but Rona’s children couldn’t sleep.
“Rona, Rona please can you get us some water?” they begged.
Rona took the taha and headed off into the dark, still, scary forest. It was a bumpy way but Marama’s bright light helped her way through the dark, still, scary forest.
But soon Marama hid behind a dark, fluffy cloud. Rona couldn’t see the bumpy path. Then something terrible happened! Rona tripped on a root of a ngaio tree.
“Oh you stupid silly moon see what you have made me do, you’ve made me trip!” she yelled.
But then Marama said, “Don’t you talk to me like that.”
With a loud voice Rona shouted, “I can say what ever I want you silly old moon!”
But suddenly Marama grabbed hold of Rona. Rona held on tightly to the ngaio tree. She held on tightly, but Marama was too strong. Marama pulled so hard the ngaio tree came right off the ground.
Marama pulled Rona up into the sky.
Rona’s children waited and waited and waited, for their lost mother to come back with the fresh water.
But then Rona called to her children,” Tamariki tamariki, I’m up here.”
The children looked up.
Rona is still up there in the sky with Marama and Rona is still holds the ngaio tree with one hand and the taha with the other.
Sometimes Rona thinks about how nasty she was to Marama and thinks how her poor lonely children will feel right now, how her children are hungry and thirsty, how they are separated from her and what they will be doing right now.
“Rona, Rona please can you get us some water?” they begged.

The Spirit of Polynesia Show
My favourite part of the Spirit of Polynesia Show was when I volunteered to do the Poi Dance. I felt very nervous when I got up because I was going to dance in front of the whole school, but when I started to do it I wasn't nervous any more, I was happy. A poi dance is when you swing the poi around in circles in time. When I looked at my friends they were smiling and that is what made me smile.

THE KINDY KIDS SPECIAL TIME VISITING ROOM 4
The Kindy Kids Special Time Visiting Room 4
On Tuesday, 22 June, after morning tea Alecia and I looked out the door and saw the Kindy Kids. When the Kindy Kids came out of the hall we were super excited. Kindy Kids were visiting us to choose a Kids At Home Book, part of the Duffy Programme. When they arrived in Room 4 Mrs Pole took the Kindy Kids around the circle to a partner. After that Mrs Pole read a book to the Kindy Kids. Later on the Kindy Kids chose a book to have. When they’d finished choosing a book we read a special book to them. We read in small groups. After our special teacher Mrs Pole came and took a picture of Annalise and I reading a book to Angelyn, that was Annalise’s little sister. Meanwhile Mrs Pole called us to the mat so we could give out the yellow and green book bags and the activity books that had the cover of Duffy. Soon Mrs Pole told us to sing our song that we performed at our assembly. Rosrine was singing in the front and I was at the back singing. When we started singing the song I was so nervous, that’s like Alecia. When we were singing I was about to cry. Lucky last Sammy, a little kindy boy, said, “ Thank you for having us and we will come back.” Room 4 felt very happy for the Kindy Kids getting their new special book bag and Duffy activity book. We hope they come back and visit us.

A Super Assembly
After play on Friday Room4 felt excited because we were going to do our Assembly. First of all Kalo welcomed everybody using the microphone. Then we did a play about the 8 Quarrelling Children and it was such fun. Then Mrs Pole said freeze! And we did! Then Seuati said stop this noise and work peacefully and we said" yes father " And we started to quarrell again and Vaine, Me and Victoria were quarrelling together. After that Seuati said Come here my Children. After that we said What is it father?. He said just Come here and listen and sit down. And he said come here my oldest child and take this stick and break it. Now take 2 sticks and break them. Now take 3 sticks and break them. Now take this bundle of sticks and break them. He took them to all of us and we all tried to break them and the sticks WOULD NOT BREAK. After that Alecia said that was a task and then we did the unity sign. After that we all went around like a rainbow and said Together We Are Strong.

A Super Fancy Assembly
Last Friday after morning tea I rushed to line because I was super excited for the super assembly. When we arrived at the hall Mrs Pole told us to sit down so we did that right away. Next Mrs Pole told Joshua to go to the office so Joshua could tell Mrs Bell to ring the bell. Then the bell rang really loudly!
I was frightened then the whole school came to the hall. I was really nervous. Later on Kalolaine said something to the whole school then Annalise, Vaine and Joanna came up and said their prayers.It was about their lovely, sweet school and their country. I felt like crying because of their lovely prayers.
After that we sang a song called Come Gather and Praise. I was singing with a boy called Joshua. Once we stood up I was really nervous but I was trying to sing really loudly but I couldn't because I was scared but once group 2 came around us I was not nervous at all because group 2 came around. When we'd finished the song I felt super happy! After that we played our recorders. We only played Leapin' About because that was the only song we knew so we had to play it. We had a folder so we could play the notes because if we didn't have a folder we might play anything.
Later on we did the unity signs. The people who did the unity signs were Victoria, Joshua, Paul, Kanesini, and Justin-Tyler.
After we did a play about The Father and His Quarrelling Children It was about these kids who always quarrelled all the time.
Lucky last we were holding hands and we said," TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG!"
Then Kalolaine said," Mr Coakley can you please come and give out the virtue certificates please?" Later on Mrs Pole came and gave the Caught Being Goods out. After that we went back to our classes.
My favourite highlight was when I was singing because my mum took a photo of me.I was really proud of myself and Joshua because we were singing really, really, really proudly.

My Broken Arm
Before last week on Monday I fell off the monkey bars.I was crying because it hurt so much.I went to the sick bay and I sat down on the bed. After awhile Mrs Bell
took me to my brother's Kindy and my dad was there with my sister.We picked up my dad
and sister to go to the doctor to check my arm.I had an x-ray and after the x-ray they
told me that I fractured two bones inside my arm. After that I had to wrap my arm up, After I got something that held my arm in place - a sling. I walked home with my sister and dad and when I got home I went for nap. I missed my mum so much. After a long time mum came home and I was happy to see mum and I ate again and I felt great. My fun part was when I had my x-ray because my sister and dad were there.

Then the whole school sat down . We waited for them to be quiet and then Kalolaine told me to say the prayer.When I'd finished saying my prayer Vaine said her prayer and the prayer was about Jesus my Friend. After the prayer we played on our recorders and we played Leapin' About on our recorders.After that Kalolaine asked Angelica,''What is our virtue?" Angelica said it was Unity. Kalolaine said," That's right our virtue is Unity." After that we did the play The Father and his Eight Quarrelling Children .After that Kalolaine asked Mr Coakley to present the certificates.Next kalolaine asked Mrs Pole could she give the Caught Being Goods.

KIWI KICK FUN
Kiwi Kick
On a muddy soggy afternoon we went to the muddy field to play Aussie Rules. We met a boy and girl called Anita and John, they were our coaches. After that John spoke to us for a little while so we could play a game called Shapes. It was a fun game. Then Anita was holding a ball ready to kick the ball to John. I was so amazed the John caught the ball perfectly.
Later on we had to choose a partner to kick the ball to. So I picked Annalise so we ran to the field ready to kick. Next we went back to the concrete to listen to our coaches again.
This is what they told us, “You have to put mud on your shoes so you can splash the mud in your partner’s faces”.
Next we played another game called Bomb The Teachers but the coaches asked if Mrs Pole and Mrs Logan if they could come and play with us but they said, “ No thank you.”
So we had to bomb our coaches. I was a lion and my partner behind me was a tiger so we started. We were ready to throw the ball at our coaches so Anita was out. Albert was in the middle so we hit Albert. After that Anita said lions won so we went back to our classrooms. My favourite highlight was when lions won in Bomb the Teachers because Anita called it out but we didn’t know.

When we’d finished we were going to learn how to kick.
After Anita explained how to kick a ball. We got a partner. My team mate was Kanesini. I learned how to kick by myself, it was fun.
When we’d finished we played another game, it was called “ Bomb the Teachers” but the teachers didn’t want to play! So I called it” Bomb the Coaches,” because the coaches were playing instead of the teachers.
Later on I tried to throw the ball to Anita so my team could get a point. Later the team that won were Lions and I was in Lions.
I was very happy indeed because my team when we played Bomb the Coaches won.

Party Time
At my Aunty's house it was her birthday. My brother and I went to my favourite cake in the kitchen and it tasted YUM! There was cream at the top on the cake . My Aunty got angry and me and my brother ran outside, running all over the place.
My Aunty got angry when the cream was not on the cake.
We went to pop the pinata out side. We hung the line at the tree and it fell down. The prize was some lollipops.Also some biscuits.We all felt happy because my Aunty got angry.

Our Kite Day
On Monday morning Mrs Pole told us to go straight to our desks. When we got to our desks we saw a question mark on the board. We thought Hmmm, what could that be? A super surprise. Next Mrs Pole told us to put our heads down on our desks. When we put our heads down we saw something in front of us. Ezra said it was a kite. After that Mrs Pole said we had to go and sit on the mat so she could explain it to us. She put up her kite. It looked magnificent. Then we went to our desks and decorated the kites with Jovi's. When we had finished Mrs Pole and Miss Ana attached the string to our kites. When we had finished doing that we went outside to fly our kites but first we took a photo of us with our kites. We went to fly the kites in the tennis court. We went round and round the courts. J.T's one was flying in the sky. Then we went to the field to fly our kites. So we ran as fast as we could. We looked behind. Our kites were up in the sky. So we ran up the hill and back down to the courts. We ran around again and we stopped. The rain came down but we were still flying our kites. After that we went back to the classroom and ate our lunch. I was so happy.

At the Pools
It was a sunny day and we went to the pools. My Mum took me and all of my brothers to the Onehunga Pools. It was a long way. We got ready to swim. I went in the shallow pool. The water was cold. I was freezing so I jumped out and got my towel. After that I went in the warm pool. I got nice and warm.
At The Beach
My Mum and Dad and the whole family went to the beach. Then after that we had our picnic. We had bananas and heaps of food. My favourite food is banana. I didn't have a swim. I played Tiggy on the sand.
My New Bed
In the weekend I got a new bed. Mum and Vanessa and me and Anna fixed my new bed. I want to sleep in my new bed. My Mum said NO. I am not allowed to sleep in my new bed. She said on Friday. I am so happy. And I'm sleeping up the top. My bed is a bunk. I like to sleep on the top because it will be fun.

A FUN TIME IN THE HOLIDAYS
A fun time in the holidays was when I went to the beach. I went with my family. I was excited. I got ready and dressed up. My mum and dad packed all the food and togs. After that we headed off. Meanwhile when we got there we went to the bus. After a while we got our stuff and set up under a nice tree. I went to the playground with my cousins. While I was at the playground with my cousin we played on the swings. After a while I heard my mum call me, when I got there she told me it's time for a swim, but I was wearing my togs under my clothes. When I got to thewater all of my cousins were there. After that we had a race to see who could get into the water first. Then we jumped in the water. Later on we got out and got changed in the bathroom. Meanwhile we ate. After that we went to the playground. When we had finished playing my mum and I went to buy the ice cream, I got goodie goodie gum drops. Then it was home time! My favourite part of the day was swimming. I felt very happy indeed because I had had such a fantastic time.

A Fun Time in the Holidays.
A fun time in the holidays was when I went to Rainbow's End. We went in the bus with my Holiday Programme. When we got there we got our tickets then we went on the Pirate Ship. Then I went on the Fear Fall. I was scared when I went up. I was even more scared when I dropped! Then we went on the Log Flue ride. It took a long time waiting in line. Then I finally got a turn and I got wet. When we were finished the ride my tummy was sore. Then we went on the Elevator. It was the new ride. My friend beside me closed his eyes.

At The Zoo
In the morning we arrived at the Zoo.
Heaps of people were excited and were amazed to go there, but I've been there once and that was it.
Next I walked around the Zoo with my group, I had to go with girls.
The parent that was with me was Sianna-Reigh's mother.
I was alright with the girls.
Anyways when I went with the girls we saw a Lizard, it was YELLOW and COOL.
Then me and Ramonedel saw a dragon in the forest, it was RED.
I started to feel cold that's why I put my school jumper on.
It was then morning tea, I was really thirsty so I got my drink and I said, "Finally it's morning tea".
My group and I then saw the Cheethas and everyone of course wanted to see them run.
We saw the rest of the animals and left.
We went back to school.
My favourite part was when we saw the spider monkeys and I felt HAPPY.

Auckland Zoo
In the middle of October we went to the Auckland Zoo. When we got to the Zoo we looked for the Red Panda. We were looking for the Red Panda and others were too.
He was in his house. We saw him coming.
He then came out of his house and everyone was happy to see the Red Panada, he was climbing on the tree.
Mrs Moodley came looking for us so we can go to a classroom.
A lady told us to put our bags into this little cage, then we went to the classroom, and the lady told us her name. Her name was Helene.
Then she showed us a Red Panda and his habitat.
After that we went and looked for other animals.
We were very happy.
My favourite part was when we went to the MEERKAT TUNNELS.
I felt HAPPY, GREAT and FANTASTIC
THE END
