Thank You letter Mrs Wright

Dear Mrs, Wright
Thank you very much for my new book you have given to me to have, I really appreciate it.

My favourite book is Taylor Swift’s book which is very interesting to me, I enjoy reading all her books, I also like listening to her songs she makes. My favourite part from the book is when she goes up and performs her song on stage to everyone. My funniest part from the book is when a girl cried from seeing Taylor Swift.

Thank you very much Mrs Wright for the books you have given to me to read. Remember “It’s cool to read and it’s cool to succeed”. Thank you very much for the books you have given to my class and to all the teachers and to everyone. I have really enjoyed every book I have received.

Yours sincerely,
Monique
Room3,
Saint Pius X Catholic school

Jesus Promise

Jesus I promise that I will follow the 10 commandments
and love our neighbours for being kind to us.
I promise that I will respect everyone especially my parents who love me more than anyone else. I will always use my virtues to other people so that they can follow the good things I do, I will be friendly to my friends and to other people I don't know. I will always Obey God because he sacrificed his life on the cross for our sinning.
I will always go to church to pray to God not go to church and play because that is just disrespecting God in church if you play instead of pray.
I will never break Jesus Promises anymore.

Smart Learner

By being a smart Learner you have to concentrate on the work you are doing, also you should always keep on the right track when it is time for you to be learning. You will have to obey the rules when it is time for learning. Listen carefully when the teacher is talking because you might not know what to do ,and when you go to start your learning you might have to go back to the teacher and ask her “what do I have to do?” You always have to use your virtues when you are working with another person instead of screaming to them when they are right next to you. Always have your stuff ready before you start learning, you always must have a pencil before you start doing your work.

Manaiakalani film festival

On Wednesday the whole school went to the Hoyts at Sylvia Park to watch the Manaiakalani film festival with schools around the cluster. Before we went to Sylvia Park we had morning tea early and we had to line up in our class lines so that we could go into the bus together. When I was in the bus I saw the moon in front of the sun and it got sort of dark but not really dark.

When we arrived to the Cinema I ran to the back to get a good seat so that I could see properly. I was really happy that I was there watching movies that other schools made. When everyone was seated Mr Coakley introduced us and then we started watching the movies.

My favourite movie I watched was ‘Be Happy’ by Aleina and Ofa at SPX. They had their own piece to sing and Aleina sang really good as well as Ofa. I liked Ofa when she sang the rap to the song.

I was so happy that I went to Sylvia Park I had a great time there with the whole school. I am really looking forward for the next Manaiakalani film festival next year.

Duffy And The Best Book In The World


Today we had a special Duffy theatre with the actors named Marvel, Duffy and Scruffy.

I really liked the Duffy theatre. While I was watching I felt like laughing all the time but I was scared I might get in trouble. When Scruffy came out from behind the boxes he did the Gangnam style moves and everyone was laughing so hard that they had to do the X to tell us the the noise level is too high. We had rules before we had start the show and our 2 rules were that you have to always be seated on your bottom so that the person at the back of us could see properly and the last rule was to keep the noise level down so that  they can keep the story going and they won't have to stop.

I liked it when it was Emmy’s birthday because 5 people got to volunteer to be the wrapping paper and a lot of people put their hands up and Duffy picked  2 people from Rm3. Emmy had woken up from her sleep and it was her birthday and she went and woke up her dad Sonny Bill and Emmy poked his head to wake him up.  Emmy told her dad it was her birthday and asked where her birthday presents where. Her dad said that he got her a book named the best book in the world. Emmy loved her surprise, so Emmy asked her dad can I open it and the dad said yes so Emmy unwrapped the wrapping paper and she was so happy. It was the end of the show and they told us can you please sing along with us the DUFFY SONG and at the end we sang it and we were so happy and we went back to class for hometime... I was so happy to have the Duffy theatre show I felt good.

My Weird Neighbours

Beginning

On a cold night a light was shining right directly at my window and it shines on the wall and it keeps me awake all the time.

Middle

I awoke from my sleep and I looked outside the window to see where the light was coming from, it was my neighbours I said to myself “ what must they be doing at this time”. So I went to my sister Tokilupe she was sleeping so hard that I couldn’t even wake her up, I finally woke her up by pulling her off the bed, I told her “there is a strange light coming from our neighbours”. My sister told me lets go to your room and check it out so we went into my room and the light was still shining on the wall. Tokilupe said to me “I can hear a strange sound coming from the neighbours” I replied back to her “yeah you are wright “!. It must be a haunted house Tokilupe said to me and I said yes!!!. So we went together next door to see what where the light was coming from, my sister went to knock on the door and a lady answered the door she looked so scary that I wished that I never came here ever again. So I told her “can you please turn off your light because I am trying to sleep “ but the lady said to them “ we need our light on because our children is scared that there might be something in the house that is giving them the creeps”. So the lady said to them “ Ok I will try to off the light when they are sleeping “ Ok said Tokilupe and her sister so they went back to there house and when they went to bed and the next door neighbours light offed and Tokilupe and her sister were very surprised when the light turned off.

Problem

When Tokilupe and her sister was just about to go sleep the light just suddenly turned on again and Tokilupe and her sister said I thought that we told her to turn of the light and Tokilupe and her sister went over next door to see what was going on. They knocked on the door and the lady answered it again the lady said to them ooh you guys again, Tokilupe said to the lady I thought we told you to off the light.
