Being M.C. For The Day

Friday 19 August was a special day for me as well as for the whole school. We celebrated the life of the Patron Saint of our Parish and our school, St Pius X.

One of the ways we celebrated our special day was having a Talent Quest, so a bunch of kids who made it through the auditions, could show the whole school their special talents, our Heavenly Father has blessed them with.

I played a special role for the talent quest, I as well as Robertanna were the M.C.

I walked up ready to begin our Talent Show, “WHATS UP St Pius” we began with, I started talking really fast, and I knew my nerves had got the better of me, but I carried on and I was off the stage before I knew it.

“Give it up for Room 4” me and Robertanna said, as they were our first act.

The Talent Showcase went on, there were groups that sang songs, groups that did a dance routine, and a whole lot more, it was a HUGE success.

The bunch of students really did show the school that they have Talents. As for myself my talent is pretty much talking, and that was 1 of the reasons why I volunteered to be the M.C.

Friday was special and I know that the whole school enjoyed themselves as much as I did.

My Highlight

My first thought of the pool was ‘how deep is it ?’

I nervously walked into the portable swimming pool taking step, by step. I finally got in the pool and I started having fun, I knew that there was nothing to worry about. This was my highlight.

I can’t wait for our next swimming lesson on Monday.

Visual Art

This piece of art work is what I did during art. It is a collage of me looking through a window.I enjoyed making and I am proud of the finishing piece.

Persuasive Writing; Homework is good.

Homework has been a main part in school, it has been around for many years. It has also helped a lot of people including me.

First, thing first, homework is like practise. We all know that quote “practise makes perfect”. Would you want your child's brain to be filled with unnecessary things rather than educational things?

Second, homework also allows us to show our parents what we have learnt at school, so they know we actually learn something.
As well as that homework gives us something to do after school as most kids just sit back on the couch and watch T.V.

Third, some people might say that homework is just a waste of time, but those people are mainly the people that need help.
You might take homework for granted but homework also helps you get prepared for a test, and once you get a great mark you'll feel proud of yourself.

Finally, homework helps us with something we do not know. It also helps us catch up with work, we are behind with.

So I think that homework helps me as well as other. We should have it not everyday but at least twice a week.

Buoyancy

For term 2 I as well as the rest of the school is learning about 'Buoyancy' or you can call it "Floating and Sinking'

One of the activity's I experienced and enjoyed was when Room 7 and I had to predict weather ordinary items and fruit can either float or sink.

Floating means if an object stays above the surface, and sinking means if an object does not stay above, and goes to the bottom.

Measurement Of Units

During maths I learnt about ‘measurement of units’

I learnt that:
width- means how wide
length- means how long
distance- means how far
depth- means how deep and
height- means how high

As well as that I learnt that certain things are measured with a different measurement of unit. For example I can’t measure my pencil with meters, because meters is just far to big. But I can measure it with centimetres. Thats the sensible measurement.

The Feast Of The Ascension

During R.E I learnt a bit more about "THE FEAST OF THE ASCENSION"

I was told to make a title page that reflects the Ascension of Jesus.

My Ascension title page reflects on the time when Jesus ascended into heaven to be with his Father.

Jesus ascended to heaven and promised the apostles that he will send the Holy Spirit to guide them, and protect them from any harm.
