Our First Squash Lesson

On Monday afternoon Room 4 went to the hall to learn how to play squash. First we got into a circle then Phil taught us some lessons. Next Phil and Michael put us in two groups. One group went with Michael and the other group went with Phil. I was in Phil's group. Phil showed us how to bounce the ball. Then we played a game where you had to balance the ball and run to the cone and back. I kept dropping the ball on the ground. Affter a while it was our turn on the court. I kept missing the ball.

Escape From Danger - A Narrative

One sunny day Josh and Jake decided to go to the windy park to ride their bikes. So they rode up and down the hills. Suddenly Jake heard a noise and looked at Josh.
 Josh said, "Oh no! A big black dog!" The fierce dog showed his very sharp teeth. The boys pedaled faster but the dog got closer. The dog barked loudly. Suddenly Josh fell off his bike. Jake was scared because he didn't know what to do. The dog barked ferociously at Josh. Jake said, "What are we going to do?" Jake saw a tree so he quickly helped Josh get up. Then they ran to a big tree. Josh said, "Let's climb this safe tree." So they climbed up to the first branch but the dog kept yapping and jumping up an down.
The dog jumped so high that Josh said, "Let's climb up another branch." Suddenly a big strong man appeared. He said, "Come here Sam." to the fierce dog. Then the man explained to them and said sorry. The man said, "This is my dog. He came off his leash and ran away. The dog is not scary he just wants to play. That's all." Said the man. Then the boys came down from the tree.

 They felt relieved after that they rode their new bikes home. After they arrieved home they told their mum what had happened. Their mums said, "We are so relieved that you are safe!" Their mums gave the boys a big hug.
Josh said, "What an adventure that was!"
Jake said, "I am so happy that the dog didn't bite us!"

A Long Run

On Tuesday afternoon we had cross country. First of all we went to the field and sat on the blue mats in our age groups. Olidah and I didn't run. After they started the race the five year olds raced first. Vanessa won in the seven year olds race. Next the boys raced. Macky came first. Olidah and I watched them race. The big kids were cheering from the courts. I saw Sia. She was exhausted, You have to run around the cones and the trees then you had to touch the back fence.

Our Virtues Assembly

Last Friday we had our Virtues assembly. Our announcers were Sia and Fiapo. First we started with a prayer. Next we sang 'Just a Single Candle.' Then we did our plays. First we had the Blind Man. Next we did the Honest Disciple. It was funny. Then we did the Paralised Man. Some people were wearing costumes. Lots of people came. My favourite play was the Paralised Man. Because when they lifted Maea up and put him next to Jesus. Falakiko was Jesus. I felt nervous. I enjoyed our assembly because I like the plays.

SWIMMING AT ST PIUS

At St Pius X we have a swimming pool in the courts. The instructors teach us how to swim. Our swimming pool is warm. First we get changed, then we go swimming. Our instructor's names are Kevin and Gillian . In the swimming pool we learn how to float. After we go back to class to get changed and have fruit. Some
of the girls were screaming. I can put my head under the water. Some times we do streamline or freestyle.
The pool is big with steps. The pool is in a marque . Some times people have to get out of pool because they
are bad . We can swim backwards and forwards. I like swimming because it is fun. My favourite part

is when we float in the pool.

The Water Slide

Last Wednesday afternoon Room 4 went to the field. First of all we got changed into our togs. Then we went to the field. Then we went on the water slide. It was fun. The instructor put some detergent on the water slide. It was slippery. I could hear people screaming and laughing . I got wet from the hose. The slide was big and blue. I ran and slid all the way to the end. I got bubbles in my mouth it was yucky! My favourite thing was the water slide.
