A Special Mass

Today,in the morning , the junior school went to our mass. The people who were going to read had to go and sit on the front seats. Sia was the first one to read. Then we were singing and singing. After that Father was reading us a story when we finished singing. After that Father asked us some questions to us. Some of the Juniors  kept saying the same thing as the other people were saying. Only one man came back to Jesus and said thank you. Aaliyah and Vanessa was the last one to read.  Akesa and Goerge had to give the flowers to Mrs Moodley. I think Mrs Moodley was happy. It was fun. I was happy too and tired. I enjoyed Aaliyah and Vanessa's part.

Our Junior School Mass

This morning I went to church with Room 4 and 5, Rooms 1 and 2. We bowed down to pray with Father and all the people. The children from Room 1 went to give the bread and the wine. We all sang songs to Jesus.  Aaliyah and Vanessa did the Reading for Mrs Moodley  who got a surprise and she was sad because she was going to miss us.

A Dragon Who Wants A Friend

_{Once there lived a nice dragon who wished he had a friend. While he was walking he saw a fat green frog who was trying to catch a fat fly. He walked to the frog “Hi my name is..”}

_{“Help! Help! There’s a fierce dragon who is trying to eat me!” Cried the frog.}

_{“Please don’t leave I just want to have a friend.”}

_{But it was too late. The frog had left him. The dragon was so sad. Next he went to a river. Nearby the river was a big bad bear who was fishing for his lunch. The dragon combed his spiky hair and walked slowly to the bear. He said in a big voice “Hi, my name is..”}

_{“Help me! Help! There’s a big green dragon trying to eat me for his lunch.” The bear ran away screaming “Help! Help!” The dragon cried and cried and cried. The dragon said in a sad voice “No one wants to be my friend but I am not going to give up.”}

_{It was getting dark and cold. The dragon decided to go back home to have a rest.}

_{Then in the morning he will go back and look for a new friend. When the dragon woke up he was still tired. He thought it was the morning but he was wrong. It was still night. The dragon dreamt about something crazy. That’s why he woke up so early in the morning. He heard a tiny voice. He looked down. There he saw a tiny mouse hiding from a huge eagle which was flying on top of the cave.}

_{“Hey can you please scare away the huge eagle? He wants to eat me.” Said the mouse. The dragon thought for a while. Then he thought that this little mouse could be his friend. The dragon quickly blew out flames from his mouth. “Thank you so much! Um what’s your name?”}

_{“My name is Max. I am really shy and I don’t have a friend yet. Maybe you would like to be my friend?”}

_{“I’ll be happy to be your friend.”}

_{So on that very day Max never felt alone again.}

Our First Day of Milk

Today on the 8th November Room 4 had milk. After morning tea we went straight to the music room. Mrs Hoggins was there with all of the monitors. One monitor asked how many people have given their forms back. I said "15 people have given it back." Mrs Hoggins gave us 15 milk bottles in the cartons. So Aaliyah and I carried it to the classroom. It was heavy! When we got there Mrs Pole took photos of Aaliyah and I. Mrs Pole told Aaliyah and I to give it to the people who are ready. I gave it to the people who were reading. When everyone was finished Aaliyah started to drink our milk. It tasted fresh and it was yum! After that Mrs Pole let us watch a movie about milk. Meanwhile Mrs Pole told us about folding the carton. When she had finished talking we were writing about it. It was very cool! I love it. I am going to have it every day at school. By Vanessa

Our First Day of Milk

Today 8th November Room 4 had milk which was very sad that Mrs Hoggins had to lift it for us. Our milk tasted like normal milk but it sort of tasted like the Church bread. I said the milk made my skelton really strong as it had made my brain go faster and made me work faster. I also concentrated on my work rather than talk to my neighbor Samasoni and Fiapo. Room 4 had to drink and read because we had to be quiet. I wish that I could have a cup of milk instead of a little bottle. I wanted some more of the milk. By Sia

Our First Day of Milk

On Friday our monitors, Aaliyah and Vanessa, went to the music room to Mrs Hoggins and Mrs Hoggins gave the box of milk to Aaliyah and Vanessa. Aaliyah and Vanessa gave the milk to people who were reading. Vanessa gave one of the milk cartons to me. I pulled the straw off the milk. Falakiko called to me "I am going to drink it fast!" I put the straw into the hole and I drank it fast. As soon as I had finished Aaliyah showed me how to fold the empty carton.

Our First Time Having Milk at School

Today Room 4 had milk. Aaliyah and Vanessa brought them in a box. Then they put them in a fridge so that the milk can be nice and cold. After that when it is nice and cold the monitors put it in the container and gives it to the classes.
When I drank it, it was really cold and nice. It was like I was in heaven. After that we had to make the cotainer flat like paper. Then we folded it like a box. Then we folded the sides in and then you are finished. It takes lots of practice to do that but do not put it in the rubbish! Put it in the recycling bin.

Today, 8th November, Rom 4 had our first Fonterra milk for school. The monitors gave the milk to the people who were reading quietly. The milk tastes like normal milk.
When I finished my milk and the bottle was dry I took the straw out and I flattened it. Then I folded the long side. When the long side was folded I tucked the folded part into the bottom of the carton.
