SNOWED IN FOR THREE SCHOOL DAYS.

Poems related to our experiences in the polar blast this term.

Clouds gliding through the sky,

They are floating very high!!!

Grey and dark also light

What a beautiful sight!!!                       
 Vanessa Johnson



There is nothing quite loud as the sound of blizzard

Boom, bang, boom

Against the window pane                      
 Kolose Tanimo

Silent snow flakes

Drop outside,

Pretty as crystals.

In all shapes and sizes.                          
 Cindy Bui

Wet and icy,

Really noisy and a lot of drifting cars.    

Quinten Roche

Sleet is like snow

That has lost its touch

Loses its flow very much

Annoys the people playing touch.  
 Jackson Youngman

Sleet can be late

Sleet can be early

Every car in a race

Can slide on it

And lose its place.                                        
 Tyler Mounty

Hail falling fast from the sky

Hail flying fast like a butterfly

Hail comes like rain

Hail gives you pain.         
 Reuben Siu

Blizzard

Winter is cool and windy.

Winter is snowy.

Everyone has a fan.

Winter is a delight.             
 By: Hoki Samuel

Winter is here

Snow has passed

Summers coming, really fast.

By: Meresia Fata

Snow is fun it is soft like powder.

Not like hail that is louder.

Out in the snow is so fun.

Winter hardly ever has sun.

YOU CAN BECOME ALL THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO BE.

Room 5 tried really hard to make a video to put on our blog.

We all got into a groups of seven. Mrs Reddy gave each group a verse to sing from the song  "All that God wants you to be."

Our experiences included some groups forgetting the words,othersforgot the actions and some even fogot when to start.

We practised and practised until we finally got it right.

Do watch our video which we think you will most certainly like.

St Anne's Feast Day 2011-Friday 5 August.

The feast of the Patron Saint of our school, St Anne, Mary’s mother was on the 26 of July while we were on holiday.  We are gathered here this afternoon to thank God for the  gift St Anne and St Joachim for being such great grandparents.

In this liturgy  we  thank God for our own families and the gifts he has given us.          

We also thank God for our loving grandparents as we honour the grandparents of Jesus.

Lord Jesus  you  call us to follow you ,have mercy on us..

 Lord  Jesus you have told us to love one  have mercy on  us.

 Lord Jesus you have called us to feed the hungry, have mercy on  us.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        

God our Father

St Anne and St Joachim model for us faithful parenting.

May those who are ents look to them for hope.

May they model the love of    Christ  in  their  parenting

And support of all families.

Grant this through Christ our Lord

Amen.
