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


Love from your cousin
Rosrine.

SWIMMING - an acrostic poem

Some warm water calming me down as I Float .

Water pushes me as I walk to the other side.

In the calm water I can sit like a turtle at the bottom.

Mr Burton throws treasure in the pool.

Me and my friends like to blow bubbles.

I like to float like a starfish on the surface.

Now I can push off and dive like a dolphin.

Going out of the pool is SAD !
