I would rather- By Deva

 

If you had the oportunity to live another persons life who would it be

I would rather just be me! Wanting to live another person's life is betraying your home.  Living your own life is actually great, you can do what you want without the people around you either asking for photos or autographs. You never know if the person's social or reality might be fake, this person could be living the worst life and wanting to live a normal life. So always stick to your own path.

Would you rather spend your Holiday in New Zealand beach or go Overseas


I would rather spend my holiday overseas, going overseas would be a dream come true for right now. I feel like I have traveled few of New Zealand but I would want to go somewhere like Japan the list of things people can do there are really interesting, It would be cool experiencing the different traditions they do!

Would you rather- By Deva

   

               Would you rather be a heroic lead in a story or the villan


I would rather be the villain in the story, without a villain in any stories you read is pretty boring. I think that villains add more effect to the story + it's way more interesting and entertaining, it also sounds a bit fun to be a villain in something you may as well have powers of some sort, Being the heroic lead in the story is fun and all but think about it the leads get the most trouble.

I would rather - By Deva

 

        Would you rather teleport into your favourite video game or favourite tv show


I would rather teleport straight into my favourite tv show, in my favourite tv show there are witches and warlocks and they could do pretty cool spells and one of my favourite one they do is called  astral projecting, pretty much spying on someone without being there, if I got teleported into my favourite video game I just know I would die in minutes.

                  Would you rather Be stranded in and Island or a deep forest


 I would rather be stranded in a deep forest, being stranded in a deep forest will be no problem because you can get creative and start to make shelter with all the sticks around you, but i don't know where you could get food from, stranded in a island would be fine as well but it would be annoying with sand everywhere and all you see is water and sand mostly, but the good thing is that you could maybe get fish as your food or if your lucky coconuts

I would rather- By Deva


I would rather go back in time so I can warn people about something that would happen in the future, you could maybe also meet a celebrity that no one knows about.. Stopping time sounds really fun and helpful when you're running late or anything like that but I would rather go bck in time and redo my mistakes and see my best memories before covid.

Would you rather- By Deva

           Would you rather: Jump on clouds or slide down rainbows


 I would rather jump on clouds so I can see the beautiful view of this world. I could feel the softness of the clouds surrounding me, making me feel calm. And I would see the beauty of sunsets and sunrises. Sliding down a rainbow would be scary and not the nicest feeling.

Life cycle of a Maggot-by Deva

  Maggots aren't the most experienced creatures, but research shows some have the ability to smell particular aromas, as well as react to light. Fruit fly maggots can't see distinct images,  their eyes are known as Bolwig organs that help them detect brightness. Maggots are efficient consumers of dead tissue. They munch on rotting flesh, leaving healthy tissue practically unscathed.

Christians Diary


Dear diary-


As I sit at my desk I hear a big *BANG*,  my teacher shouts "run" I start to panic and cry. All the students start to walk home but I ran, running past people screaming covered blood. My heart started beating faster than ever. I finally reach home with a sigh of relief. I lock my door hoping I would be safe. There was a toxic smoke coming thorugh my window, it made me feel nauseaus. I start to pray hoping I would be safe. Goodbye diary I need to help my family.

Our fun trip sailing!

                                                      Sailing!


On the 10/5/21 we got the best oppurtunity to go sailing. We packed all of our stuff that we needed which was spare clothes, towel, food and water. The bus trip was very long but we finally made it. 

The instructors told us safety rules and what to do. All of us had to assemble the parts and yes we did get a little bit of help. After we finished assembling our sails the instructors called us over to show how to make the sails go right to left. Finally we got to wear our swim suits and wet suit on top of it. We had to take the boats down which was really hard on the slippery concrete. 

We got in the boats. The instructors were in another faster boat to help us out. It was one of the most fun experiences in my life! Most of us fell out of the boats . . . it was so much fun falling out! 

Sadly our time came to an end. Sailing was so much better than I thought it would be, I would be glad to try sailing again.  I would like to thank St Johns Rotary and Yachting New Zealand for this experience.                           

 

   



             

                                                         
                                              

                                                 

 

Diary Entry as the girl

                                                                     Diary Entry 


Dear diary-

I felt guilt rushing into my brain, thinking  I would be known as the selfish girl. My mum whispered in my ear to give him the umbrella and I did what she said. I heard nothing just saw a nice smile, I assumed that he was happy after a long time. My mum thought of adoption. Maybe it would make his life a bit more joyful. We started talking when I suddently got a smell of muggy clothes I asked what it was he said It was his scarf that his dad gave him a long time ago. My heart was beating fast knowing we needed to take care him. I can actually play with someone!! We both knew that day we would go on family trips all of that kind of thing! I learnt a big lesson today... it's to always accept and be grateful.

Diary Entry

This is a diary entry I have written in response to a short animated movie we are studying of literature.


Dear diary-

This afternoon some little girl came by, when she came in the orphanage my heart started beating like no other. She reminded me of my little sister who got seperated from me. The little girl came with a yellow umbrella, suddently I got a scent of my parents perfume it gave my so much good memories with joy and laughter.
 I just thought I could take the umbrella and add it to my cubbord of memories. she came upstairs and saw that I took her umbrella. I wanted to explain but I didnt get a chance, my tears started to gush out like a waterfall, I wish I could just tell them the story of my deppresed life.

We created our value in clay so we could think about our values more and what it meant to us personaly.

Stations Of The Cross 2021- By Deva

 During the 1st of April,  the  8 & 7’s decided that we should reenact the day Jesus got crucified on the cross. We had 5 practises, including a dress rehearsal. On the day all of the St Patrick students saw our recreation of Jesus’s death. 

Practising and performing our little act was actually really fun and especially dressing up and acting like the people of Jerusalem.


 I loved the outfits we got to try on, it was cool how it looked like what people wore hundreds of years ago. Doing this act felt like we were in the actual scene watching Jesus being crucified. The characters were: Jesus, Mary And her friend, Simon and his disciples , Veronica and her friends, woman of Jerusalem, Soldiers , and Pilot. Overall this act we did was the most fun thing we did. I really enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to doing more things like this.

The longest walk- By Deva

 The Rapsey family decided to go on the longest walk this route was Te Araroa.

Their plan is to walk before breakfast, to the top of Poukirikiri/ Travers saddle. High above the Nelson lakes. They started at Cape Reinga and finished at Bluff, right at the bottom of Te Waipounamu. The Rapseys  will cross two mountain passes in Nelson lakes National Park. 


They  walked 27 kilometres along Te Oneroa-a-Tohe. The family  walked through lots of tiny towns and rolling hills. They reached Tamakimakaurau, with its tall buildings and suburban  streets. The Rapseys  came across the farmland of Waikato and the ancient trees of Pureora, The family passed mount Ngauruhoe and Mount Tongaririo .


Everyone  stayed in tramping huts or houses.  .


Overall This story was really interesting and sounded like the family was very tired.  This story told me about lots of places and how strong a family bond is!
