Month: September 2022

On Friday, the 23rd of September it was Mission Day, Mission Day is a day where the students donate food or money to the Holy Angels Orphanage, and we could also wear any clothing that doesn’t have any inappropiate stuff. In the morning, we did a Assembly, we sang songs and then we put some money down on our class number. After Assembly we did our Te Reo thon, we had to translate some words Maori to English, and English to Maori, the first words were easy, but then the last words were difficult for me, then when I was finished I put my paper on Mr.Bells desk.

At Morning Tea, some of the students in Room 8 were selling Raffle Tickets, it cost 20 cents, 1 doller was 5 tickets, and 2 dollers were 10 tickets, After I bought some Raffle Tickets, I went to play in the top court, barely anyone was playing in the top court because they were in the kanopy. After Morning Tea, Room 7 watched a anime movie called “Spirited Away”.

Then at lunchtime, it was the last time the Room 8 students would sell the Raffle Tickets, I really wanted to buy some more Raffle Tickets, but the line was long and plus I was too lazy, so I decided to play soccer in the top court with some people. After Lunchtime we finished the Spirited Away movie and I loved it, the story was really cool and the art style was really beautiful, and the food scenes looked so good.

Then at 2:20, all of the classes went to the Kanopy to do the Raffle Prizes, I didn’t win any of the prizes but I was glad that one of my friends won one of the prizes. Mission Day was really cool, my favourite part of the day was when all of us watched a movie.

In 1876 2 of the Mission Sisters arrived at Kolkata, they visited some families then they decided to establish a Church. 1967 the archbishop gave the Mission Sisters a home and also in 1967 most of the children were orphans because of a war so the Mission Sisters established a school for them.

In 1981 the Mission Sisters established an orphanage for orphans. Before they started an orphanage I think the reason why they started an orphanage was because Sister Teresa brought 7 orphans. In 2006 the Mission Sisters named the parish school “Holy Angels Boarding School”.

Kalyanpur is a beautiful village filled with 92851 males and 81098 females all together its 173,949 Kalyanpur is spelled “kalyanpur” but the stations name is “Kalianpur” while the British often use “Kullianpur”.

 

The Commonwealth Games is a sports competition that happens every 4 years and countries enter in it. Most of the countries have been governed by the British Empire, there were 4 countries that entered the commonwealth games first, it was Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.

The first commonwealth games to be held was in Hamilton in the year 1930, before the commonwealth games was called “The Commonwealth Games” it was called the British Empire Games.

In “The Road To Birmingham” we went to different landmarks,virtually, we did it virtually because of the pandemic and it would’ve cost too much, so we did it on a website where we recorded the distance we ran each day and entered it as a class, we did it by using a website and each laps we ran each day, we made them into kilometres and entered the score as a class. We had a chance to learn about these landmarks, and it was the best thing we could do as if we were actually there.

The other thing we had to do was pick an athlete and look for information about them. The athlete I chose was Moira Koster. I chose her because she did Judo and Judo is like Karate and I love karate except I don’t really know how to do karate but I love watching movies with fighting, I’d love to learn karate.

Moira Koster was born in 1990 in South Africa, Johannesburg, she competed in the 2012 London and 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth. She won 1 gold, 3 silver and 6 bronze, she has won multiple Oceania Championships for juniors.

My experience with the Commonwealth games was really fun. I loved how we had to run laps to move forward in the race, but some people started lying about them doing 50 laps. My favourite landmark was the Stonehenge, I loved the Stonehenge because it is ancient, and it had different theories of who put them up, one of the theories said that Merlin the wizard of Arthurian put them up.

This Sunday is a very special day, thats because its Fathers Day! A day where we honour all those fathers around the world, and appriciate the love that our fathers have given us since the beginning of our life. Today we had to make something for our fathers, most of the Room 7 made cards and the other ones made a slideshow on their chromebook, I chose to make a card since it was the easiest to make but the hard part was thinking what to write in the card. I took 5 minutes to think what I should write in the card then i came up with some writing. I put a lot of work onto my card, I hope my father will love it.
