A FRIENDLY LETTER

Room 4
St Pius X School

Dear Oselise

I am looking forward to you coming back to school after ther holidays. You are lucky to be at camp. I wish you would come back from camp because we have had a lovely time. We made popcorn and that was lots of fun. We made Lime Jelly and had a disco last Friday, it happened in the hall at night and some families were there. Some school children were and some teenagers were doing the music, the songs and the rapping.
When we made Lime Jelly the colour was green.
I wondered what happened at your camp? Was it fun at your camp too?
At the disco we had chips and drinks. When we had Iron Brion we had a competition and this man named Ollie made the burgers. It was yummy! We all ate our burgers outside the classroom.

Love from your best friend
Terancis

The Big Surprise

The Junior School sat quietly in the music room waiting for a big surprise. Suddenly we heard the loudest knock out side the music room. Then we put our heads down and closed our eyes. Somebody came into the room. It was Ronald McDonald! He came inside the Music room. And we thought it was some one else. Ronald McDonald came wth his best friend Jason and his other friend Kate, And he asked us questions. He called some people Phillip or Josh. He made us laugh and it was funny. Then he got his frame out, it had a lot of squares in it as well. The colour of his suit was yellow and his sleeves were white and red. He got his picture thing out of his bag, it was red too. Then he told Miss Oldfield to read the sentence on the picture and he kept coming out behind of the picture and kept disturbing her when she started the reading. He was making us the kids laugh. And Mrs Williams, Mrs Mafu and Mrs Moodly was there and Mrs Moodly was laughing at him and she said, " What ever," to him and he said to her, "Don't you what ever me!" We all laughed because of him, and we went out happily to morning tea.

A Funny Morning

The Junior school sat quietly in the Music Room waiting for a big surprise. We all were wondering what the surprise was. Suddenly we all heard a knock, KNOCK,KNOCK,KNOCK. "Who's there?" Then Ronald Mc Donald walked in with his two friends,Kate and Jason. Next we learnt about road safety. We also sang a song which had a play to go with it. A little girl in Room 1 taught Ronald to work a seatbelt. In the real play Ronald lost his sock. Miss Oldfield was the reader. Ronald was very funny and everyone was full of laughter. Most every time Miss Oldfied tried to read she keep on laughing. My favourite part was when the little girl in Room 1 taught Ronald to work a seatbelt because it was very funny. I felt happy because it was funny.

The Big Surprise

The Junior School sat quietly in the Music Room waiting for a big surprise. Our eyes were closed and our heads were down. We heard a big, loud KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! We said come in and he was still KNOCKING on the door and we said again come in and he came in. We opened our eyes and the big surprise was a clown. His name wasRonald Mc Donald. It was fun and I felt happy because Miss Oldfield made me laugh because her face was looking funny.

My First Virtues Assembly.

Last Friday we had my first Virtues Assembly in the hall and I felt happy in the hall. Mrs Pole also felt happy in the hall. I think Room 4 felt happy in the hall too. Also the families came too and the St Pius people came to see us in the hall. All the teachers and the Principal were there too.

Everyone from Room 4 sang and danced a Tongan song. After that we listened to three children from my class saying prayers. Then my class did a play about Jesus washing the disciples feet. I was a little scared when I had to hold up the words for the children to read.

I enjoyed doing the Virtues Assembly and want to say the prayers one day.

The Picnic

On the weekend my family went for a picnic down on the field and I went too! But we didn't have a lovely day. Because the duck's were noisy. So my grandpa said oh let's go home and have our picnic. So we went back home and had our picnic. Then I said this is the best picnic I've ever had.
