Religious Education. Station of the Cross.

Learning Intention: Investigate the station of the Cross to identify the people who followed Jesus on the way to Calvary

Station 4: Jesus meets his mother

After Jesus had fell the first time with his heavy cross on his shoulders and the mean soldiers wiping him and telling him to walk faster, suddenly he saw his mother she was crying because of her beloved son was getting beaten up by people who hated him. His mother Mary went upto him and touched his face they both looked at each other in the eyes.

Sadly it was time for Jesus to go he said to his mother,”Good bye” and off he went. Mary could feel every pain that Jesus is going through, Mary didn’t want Jesus to leave her because of she loved him and cared for him like every mother, but Jesus had to go and finish of his mission.

It had came to an end and it was time for Jesus to die on the cross so he can save our sins. The soldier nailed Jesus to the cross 3 nails 1 cross 4 given, Jesus was in pain people were shouting at him, he gazed up to the sky he was almost out of breath his last few words he said before he died was,” Father, Forgive Them, For They Don’t Know What They Are Doing.

Then Jesus put his head down and released his last breath. Mary and Peter were near him when he died, the soldiers took Jesus down from the cross and wrapped him in a cloth then took Jesus into the tomb, We love you Jesus and we always will.

The sons of Ma'afu

Week 5 :  29 February - 4 March

To monitor my reading to know that understand what I read I:-

1. QUESTION ABOUT THE TEXT:

I wonder? What if? Why? How? -

I Wonder if Ma’afu was badly injured?

Why didn’t Ma'afu sons didn’t get another chance to stay with their father?

How did the two sons Live in the sky?

What if the sons killed their father?

2.VISUALIZE: Images I see... The scene I can picture the clearest is... - See more at:

My favourite part was when the sons killed the triggerfish by pulling the gills

3. INFER: I think the author wants me to know... The author didn't actually say.... but I think... Things seem... - See more at:

Lesson: To don’t play around with dangerous stuff like spears

4.  CONNECT: This part reminds me of... My life... The world... Other texts... - See more at:

My life because of I love fishing for fishes in Samoa.

5.  FEEL: Which parts did you have an emotional connection to? How did YOU feel when you read this part? - See more at:

The part I had and emotional feeling for was when the two sons had to move far far away from the village because of it wasn’t safe with them around.

How did You feel when you read this part.

I felt very sad because of if was sent far far away to another island and my parents stayed behind I will start crying and try my best to stay with my parents.

6.  EVALUATE: Was this good? Why? Why not? What would make it better?  EXAMPLE: I confess that I didn't want to jump on the Harry Potter bandwagon, but this book really is good. I like it because J.K. Rowling's vivid descriptions help me picture what happens to Harry from the time he leaves the Dursley's house to his experiences at Hogwarts. I also like it because Harry's an underdog, and I often root for the underdog. Mostly, I like it because the story is suspenseful, I can't wait to read what's going to happen next! - See more at:

It was a very interesting book.

Why: The reason why the book was interesting because of it though a very good lesson for us kids to don’t play with knifes or sharp things because of if it hits someone you will be in big big trouble so don’t play with sharp things kids.

My holiday writing

My Holiday Writing

It was a hot sunny morning and it was time to go for a swim at Orewa Beach, big waves and heaps of shade. Hurry up shouted Mum “ we are going to be late”, so I rushed to the car and off we went.

We finally made it to our location, it was very packed at Orewa beach because there was an humongous American car show, I saw a lot of people swimming and having fun with their families. We had finally found a car park and now it’s time to swim but the tide wasn’t in so we waited. It was around 2:50pm and the tide had eventually came, “I’m going to swim now” I wishperd in my mums left ear.

The wave was very big and nice I charged through the wave, ohh so cooled but I still went for a swim. I saw heaps of people from my Church playing football in the sea so I joined. After we played football we decided to play volleyball but we were called back  buy our parents because of it was time to eat some delicious BBQ. We were all full so we went and played some beach volleyball.

Finally our volleyball game was over we all had a race to the beach I lost but the water was nice and warm. It just hit 5:30 and it was time to pack up and hit the road
