Sunny Side Zoo

It was a sunny Thursday morning. The kids were getting ready for their class zoo trip. One of the kids asked, ”Can we see the Rhino’s please?”
”Alright,” said the teacher, ”But don't make it angry.”
As soon as I got there, there were people screaming.
”What is wrong?”
“ The ... The ... The Rhino has escaped!" 
As he said it, the class saw the rhino charging at them.The class ran to the closest room that they could find but they had a problem. It was locked. They couldn't get in. The rhino was horning everyone. 
I had no choice. I  started to charge at the door with my full force. It finally broke and there was a loud THUD!!!! The rhino noticed me and began to run at the class. 
While it was running, the teacher saw us and called the zoo keepers. It was nearly upon us. 
As it went past the bridge, all the zoo keepers fired tranquilizer darts and the rhino went down with a THUD!!!!!!!!!
We thought to ourselves, ”Well, we are never going to come here again."

A Wonderful Day at Hamilton Zoo

A Wonderful Day at the Zoo Joshua 9/12/14
It was a beautiful morning. We walked through the entrance into the zoo.We had been trying hard all year to get our reward-a trip to Hamilton zoo.My job was to take three people to the zoo.I had to take Jayden, Xavier, and Devyn.
First, when we got there, we saw the birds. Some of them were white, feathery, vicious and tall.We were warned not to put our hands in the cage.The birds walked slowly and clumsily. As we went through the bird enclosure, we saw the zoo keeper feed the dangerous birds. Then Devyn said, "Don't let them eat your fingers."
After the birds, we decided to go to the chimpanzees. When we got there, we realised that the chimpanzees had broken the window, but they weren't on the loose. Some chimpanzees were in  the monkey house.
Finally, we went to the education room. It had tiger skin, a boa constrictor skin. a dead tarantula, and some skulls of animals that used to live at the Hamilton Zoo. After the zookeeper stopped talking to us, we went around the classroom and held some animal skulls, and some dead crocodiles.
“That was the best day ever,” I said in my mind.

Chipmunks

Have you heard of the amazing Playland and cafe called Chipmunks? You will never believe how much fun it is.
First, as we came down the road, out of the corner of my eyes, we saw it-an establishment that was dark purple. It had a sign that said Chipmunks and it had a picture with it.
As we entered, my face turned from unpleasant to delightful. There was a HUGE inflatable slide standing right in front of me as well as a HUGER kids castle.
They have very nice people there. They always say, "Have a fun time. WAIT! Before you go, would you like a lollipop," so we always kindly say, "Yes please."
We entered the room that had the inflatable slide.
"OH MY GOSH!" I thought to myself. It had the colours, blue and purple, in it and it was so huge and so fast. It felt as fast as a cat when it runs at its full speed.
We then went to the kids' castle. It was bigger than the slide. It had some slides and guns that fire foam. There was even a trampoline.
Finally, unfortunately, my hour was up. I didn't want to go but I had to. 
After we got back in the car, I thought, "Well, that was fun. It was so worth it."

Bullying Poem

Bullying is wrong
Bullying hurts people 
Bullying gets you no friends 
Bullying gets you nowhere in life 
Bullying makes people cry
Bullying gets people hurt
If you are a bully, then all these things in the poem will come true.

Holy Thursday Liturgy

Holy Thursday Liturgy

It was now the time of Passover. Jesus’ followers came to Him and said, “We will go and prepare everything for the Passover Feast. Where do you want to eat the feast?” Jesus answered, “Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. He will go into a house. Tell the owner of the house, “The teacher wants you to prepare the room for the Passover meal.” So the followers left and went into the city and prepared the Passover Feast.
In the evening, Jesus went to that house with the twelve. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread and gave God thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and eat it; this is my body which will be given up for you.”





  
When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave God thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and drink from it; this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.”

After some time, Jesus got up from the table and went to a different part of the room.  He put a large towel around him, making himself look like a servant.  After that, he poured water into a large bowl and began to wash the disciples' feet.  He then dried them with the towel that was wrapped around Him.


When Jesus had finished washing all of the disciples’ feet, he returned to the table.  "Do you understand what I have done for you?"  Jesus asked them.
Jesus is like a King - but even greater than a king, He's the King of Kings!  By washing the disciples’ feet, He was doing something that only a servant would do.
This is an example of how you should treat others.  You don't have to actually wash other people's feet, but do kind things to others and act like a servant for Jesus.

Live Simply Day

Today is Live Simply Day.We live a live simply so that we can stand in solidarity with the poor people in this world. To live simply means to go without technology, go without cars, scooters, bikes, skateboards, roller skates and roller blades, and go without fans and heaters.

Hot Air Balloon

Today my school and I went on a hot air balloon ride on our school field.
When I got here, they had put up the hot air balloon and started to take people on a ride but the line was huge! Luckily, there were milo drinks, coffee and tea to drink and pancakes to eat.
It took about half an hour to get to the front and five minutes to get high enough to get down to the ground.
After I got off the balloon,  I was screaming.
The colour was red, yellow and orange. The basket was a ginger colour and it was huge. They used a fan to blow it up and the flames were used to make the balloon go up. People were not  really in to it. Jayden and I climbed into the basket. It hovered across the ground and then went up and when the bell rang, the fun was over.

Symbols of the Holy Spirit

Fire reminds me of the Holy Spirit because fire came to the apostles at Pentecost. Fire and the Holy Spirit are both light and they give us warmth.

You can see more symbols of the Holy Spirit that our class drew on our class blog at stproom4.blogspot.co.nz
