My Day at St Francis Retreat centre!

Zoom! went the car, Woo hoo as the wind blowed me with its air, I was with my Grandpa he was driving while I was at the back minding my own business. Yes! I made it to School just in time and look I saw robertanna she looked stunning with her skinny jeans. As I walked inside my classroom I saw the year 8’s waiting with excitment. Hi guys and they replied back Hi A’leina,and they said you look pretty with your dress, Thank you I replied back. When I saw my mum I was so happy because she was going to drop me off to St Francis Retreat Centre.


Wow! what a nice building I said with amazement. When we finally arrived there just in time for lunch I saw Brother Philip. Hello brother philip, and he waved to me. Later on the year eight’s walked inside the building and was excited to see their new rooms.

My Favourite Activity That I did at St Francis Retreat Centre was noahs ark, who are good leaders, and acting out the station of the cross.

What I learnt making arks is that when you make something do it with a partner and don’t just use cardboard. My leader is jesus and I want to follow his footsteps. Acting out the stations of the cross was awesome, it helped me learn what jesus did or experienced 2 thousand years ago.

Welcome to my Blog!

SPX 2012 OPENING MASS!

Today is a very special day, for St Pius x Opening school mass, for 2012. It is also a very special day because everyone had lots of smiles on their faces even our parents.


When St Pius x school pupils, communicated together and sang the rainbow song. The singing was astonishing and especially beautiful. The minute the prayers of the faithful finished their script or paper they came down quietly and bowed.

At the end of the Mass when we blessed the staff and teachers. I felt like this is going to be a new year of excitement.
I loved it when I participated in the mass and I was really proud of myself.

THE MESSAGE I LEARNT FROM THE READINGS!
*Don’t be a burden to other’s.
*Paul begged us, don’t be lazy and muck around.
*Work hard to have a better life.
*Always obey the instruction’s given to you by Jesus.
*Jesus was an example for us to follow.

My Tennis experience!

My Tennis Experience!

Yes! Room 7 was first to go. We filed into the court quietly. I was excited. Wow! look at all the net’s, the rackets and balls. They were scattered on the ground beautifully.

Later on we all sat down. We listened attentively to Marcel, the instructor. I didn’t take much notice of what he said, I was too busy looking at the pile of tennis rackets at the side.
“Girls first, grab a racket with a tennis ball and move to the other side of the net,” he said. I rushed and got my equipment and was dancing with joy as I was with the other girls on the other side of the court.


I tried new techniques and skills for the first time. I enjoyed learning how to play tennis. I had a fun experience listening to my instructor, Marcel. It was difficult for me but I managed to get the hang of it. Suddenly Marcel told us to find a partner. I was so thrilled because my partner was Agnes. We played games with our buddies. It was fun.

Our last game for Tennis was KING OF THE COURT!. It was a challenging game for me.We were shouting,stomping our feet and making loud noises. Room 7 this is it for today. I can’t wait for our next lesson.
WHAT A NICE MORNING TO START OFF MY DAY.

Holiday-A'leina

Friday 3rd February 2012
My holidays for 2012!

On a warm hot summer day,Me,two of my cousins,brother and my dad, went
to the beautiful beach of mission bay, to have a nice long summer swim. I had to change my clothes to my swimming togs. My cousins were already changed
and were already in side the sea.
What a beautiful day I said to myself, ahhh I was relaxing having a wonderful time.

Hot day today I said I had sun burnt all over my back and even my face ohhh I really was burnt all right.
Now we had a fight getting little rocks and throw it to someone and I got my cousin on the back and I was laughing like a bad person.

At the end of the day my brother,dad, and two of my cousins went to change and guess what I was the last person to get out the bathroom. So we all went home and ate pizza.
