OH NO!!

Annie and Angelica were getting ready for their school camp in the forest. Orienteering was their first activity. Their teacher, Mrs Jolie gave them their orienteering gear.

They started at the starting line. They made their way to the 1st and 2nd control, out of 10. They were alone in the forest. Walking past the trees and bushes they heard footsteps. They were frightened. They dropped everything and ran off.

They tried to find Mrs Jolie. But she was not in sight. Scared and Nervous were Annie and Angelica as they were lost. Annie looked across at Angelica and saw that she was upset.

It was getting darker. “OH NO”! They held each other hand-in-hand and both said “everything will be alright”. All of a sudden they saw a bright light shining from one direction. They ran towards the light and saw that it was Mrs Jolie. “Mrs Jolie, Mrs Jolie” they yelled, with relief. “You found us”, they said. Mrs Jolie wrapped them up in a blanket and took them back to their tents.

Reflection for Maths, Week 5

During this week I have been learning to use multiplication to solve addition and subtraction problems where common factors can be found. It was quite hard for me to understand it but I managed a little with the willing help of Mrs Tui and Miss Anderson.
Here is an example.
e.g. 24 + 27 + 22 + 28 = 4 × 25

Tweety falls down

There was a little bird named Tweety. She fell out of her nest and onto the ground. Tweety cried and cried, but no one heard her. Just then Earl the squirrel came and suggested that she should try climb the tree. Tweety tried but she couldn't get any grip on the tree. Suddenly Mat the cat came and said to Tweety she should try flapping her wings. Tweety flapped her wings and to her amazement she started to fly up into the sky. She landed safely into her nest and chirped happily. Tweety was relieved. She lived happily ever after.

John Chapter 21. John Chapter 21 tells us how Jesus appeared to his disciples the 3RD time.
One day a few of his disciples went out fishing. Simon Peter believed that he could catch some fish, but he caught none. A man then appeared to them. Simon Peter knew it was the Lord. Jesus told them to cast the net to the right side of the boat. They as what Jesus had suggested. As they cast the net to the other side there were too many fish.
As said before, this was the third time Jesus appeared to his apostles.



During Religious Education we have learned a new strand for the term. We have been learning more about Easter. Easter is a very special and important event. It is when Jesus rose again from the dead. We need to remember that Jesus is with us now and always. He is our guide through spirit.
                                              Here is my title page for our Easter strand.
