Super Saints!

 This week we are looking at Saints.

St Francis of Assisi made decisions to save people, the animals and the Environment. 

Here are 2 of the Choices  that St Francis of Assisi, 

St Francis of Assisi abandoned a life of luxury for a life devoted to Christianity after hearing the voice of God. 

St Francis of Assisi saves a rabbit. 

One day a brother brought a rabbit who had been caught in a trap to St. Francis. The saint advised the rabbit to be more alert in the future, then released the rabbit from the trap and set it on the ground to go its way. But the rabbit hopped back up onto Saint Francis' lap, desiring to be close to the saint.

Saint Francis took the rabbit a few steps into the woods and set it down. But it followed Saint Francis back to his seat and hopped on his lap again! Finally Saint Francis asked one of his fellow friars to take the rabbit far into the woods and let it go.

Here is my slideshow.

Suzanne Auberts' life

This week we have been looking at Suzanne Aubert here is her story. 

Suzanne Aubert was born on the 19th of June 1835 in Lyon, France.

When Suzanne was legally allowed to come to New Zealand at the age of 25. 

When Suzanne was on her ship to New Zealand she learnt how to speak, read and write Māori.

After working intially at a boarding school for Māori girls, Suzanne Aubert left Auckland to work at the Marist Māori mission staion at Meanee in Hawkes Bay with the third order of Mary.

Suzanne became well known in nthe area after ministring to Māori and Pakeha, Catholic and non- Catholic with out compromising her own beliefs.

Tolerance and freindships became stratergies for her mission.

In 1874 Suzanne was pinning her hopes for revival of the Māori mission on the new Bishop of Wellington, Bishop Redwood, who was to become her life long supporter.

On Christmas day 1885, Bishop Redwood blessed St Josephs church. When it burned down three years later, Suzanne set off on a collecting tour of New Zealand, returning in 1893 with $1000 enough to buy a new church and convent.

During her tour, Suzanne had become acutely aware of the challenges faced by poor and unmarried mothers and there babies. She took 74 of there babies and children into their care but Hiruhārama was too isolated from medical services. So Suzanne set her sights on Wellington, arriving unannounced in the city in in 1899 with two sisters.

The sisters immediatly started work with Wellington suffering and destitute planning a much needed home.

They set up a soup kitch and creche for children and working parents.

Land was bought in Island Bay and in 1907, the Our Lady's Home of Compassion was opened.

Suzanne was travelling to Rome at the age of 78 to present her case to the Pope.

More then 4 years later, Pope Benedict XV granted the Decree of Praise to the Daughters of Our Lady of Compassion.

In early 1920 a frail but triumphant Suzanne returned home to the Bay of Islands.

On October 1st at the age of 91 Suzanne Aubert dies, in the presence of the Sisters.

As the word spread of her death, the crowd gathered to pay their respect.

Wellington's streets and roofs were filled with people silently watching the hearse pass by.

She is now buried in the Karori Cemetry.

What do you know about Suzanne Aubert?

My Music Learning!

WALT:

This Term for Music we are learning about rythms, beats and notes. 

I learnt about the notes and rythms. I have never learnt about music before and I am really starting to enjoy it.  

For our learning about rythmes we started clapping the rythmes by picking what order you want to put the animals in. The animals are horse, chicken or catipellar. How ever many syllables that is how many times you clap. 

Here is my example:   

A big thank you to our amazing music teacher Ms Moore.  

Do you know how to play an instrument? 

The Last Supper

 WALT: Write a recount about your chosen Bible story. 
The Last Supper. 
The Last Supper is when Jesus and his 12 disciples gather to have the Last Supper that Jesus will have. The Last Supper happened on Holy Thursday the night before Jesus died on the cross. He knew he was going to die in the next few days so he spent some time with his disciples. 
I think the positive parts of the story are that he could spend more time with his disciples before he died and he could serve them and teach them about being a good leader and serving for others. 
I think the negative part of the story is that Jesus was soon going to die and it was his last meal with his Disciples. 
If I had to have my last supper I would have a mince and cheese pie with a hawiian BK chicken burger with a big bottle of orange Fanta. 
When I read this story I feel happy and sad that Jesus loved us enough to die on the cross to forgive our sins.  
During the meal Jesus took the bread and broke and said take this and eat it this is my body that has been broken for you, this is my blood and with it God makes his people will have their sins forgiven.  After that they sung a hymn and went to the Mount of Olives. 

Our surfing adventure

WALT: Write to recount a memorable experience or moment. 

Yesterday on the 17th of March the year 7 and 8s went to the New Brighton beach to learn how to surf.

First when we arrived at the New Brighton beach the instructors greet us, and had a surf chat. We talked about the way the wind was blowing it was blowing onshore we also talked about the rip currents and to stay away from the peir. 

Then  it was time to get in the water I got out to waist deep, and I rode my first wave and fell off. 

On the second wave I caught I stood up and then fell off again. 

On then when I went out to see my good friend Tallulah and we agreed that we would surf a wave together so a big wave came so we were going to ride it. 

I was on the back of my  surfboard and the wave was way to big and my good friend Charlotte kept yelling (Arnaika Arnaika its going to go over you. ) The wave went straight over my head and I was trying to get back up and the surfboard was on top of my head so I couldnt get back up. 

I got out of the water and I was furios. 

Afterall I did not enjoy surfing. 

Have you ever been surfing? 

Our Symphony Orchestra trip.

 Last week on Thursday, our senior syndicate when to the New Zealnad Symphony Orchestra in the town hall. When went there in the bus at 10:30 and got back at 1:00. We went there because we wanted to listen to there amazing music. 

I enjoyed learning the diffrent names of the instruments, and hearing the high and low sounds they made. 

I think the most interesting sound was the trombone because it made an interesting sound. 

If I could play 1 of those many instruments there it would the timpani because it looks like a fun instrument. 

I felt very sleepy when I watched the Orchestra finished. 

Have you ever watched the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra?
