Invitation to a Function

Today we are learning to create an invitation and we also consider the design to have a good work and the hard work that we made. This Invitation is important for me because I want to be special for my parents and to make my parents proud of me.

"The Admirable Family"

      A good family is always kind and respectful with each other. They are always honest and never lie. We always tell the truth, that's why we trust and respect each other even if we are doing the wrong thing.

In my family we are always loyal to each other even if we are fighting for one thing. We always tell each other our problems and our family supports us to make the right choice. My family always

supports each other and always protects each other. We are very loyal! 

      When it comes to having a good family honesty is very important. My two siblings and I are always honest with each other. We trust each other and know that without our parents we can still work together to our fullest potential. We always trust each other and we always love each other. 

     Being kind to your family not only creates deeper connections and stronger bonds, but it also

teaches children the importance of being kind to others! Being kind to the family and each other is a great way to spread the joy and love of the community.

      As part of my family, we always sing any of our favorite songs, my mother and father could share

their favorite songs and we always sing it too. When we know the song we have fun singing it and sharing it with the rest of the family. The songs that we sing are so relatable for us because they are our favorite songs especially when we sing them in Tagalog and even English songs.

    My Family always respects each other and even the other person that we do not know. There are
things we do not understand but we still encourage each other to never repeat the mistake that we
have made.

The Treasure Box

   The Treasure Box

     We are getting panicked at our village. We grab our own things and leave to find a new place to live. While we are walking from our village, we can smell the smoke from burnt books coming from the library. I was with my father looking for my mum who has been taken by the soldiers, I realise that my mum is gone. We are scared for our village and our futures.

     We are walking from our village we hear the soldiers that they are still throwing a bombed into our village. When we are leaving to our village, the soldiers are still bombing our village. As we walked down the road we rested and slept and my father handed me a book and he said to me “ Promise me you will keep this treasure safe” and I said “ I promise that that I would keep this Treasure safe.”

    When we are still finding a new village we are tired so we just rested and slept. My father is sick so I take care of him. I leave him alone and ask other people if they are ok but they say they are fine. When my Father dies we bury him and continue our journey to find another village. The people from our village tell me to leave my treasure behind but I didn’t, I chose to leave my suitcase instead. The treasure is very important because it’s about people and must be saved. 

     As we are walking and walking, the treasure is getting heavier and heavier. I find a Linden tree and bury the Treasure. I say to myself, “here, it would be safe from the bombs and fire.” After I buried the Treasure I went back to my friends.” 

     During the following years, as I grew from a boy to a man in a beautiful country, I was happy to see that I come back to the village when I was a little boy and I never forgets about the memories that I have, I returns as an adult to learn more about myself. As I grew up in this village I want to know what happened and I want to know if my friends are still here or they moved to another village. 

    When I reach the Linden tree, a young girl is swinging from it’s branches. The little girl is disappointed that the box doesn’t contain treasure, but I explain that the book, and the story is more important than any treasure and I tell the little girl “this book is about us, about people, it is rarer than rubies, more splendid than silver and greater than gold.”  

    When I’m going back to the village we escaped to I pass my father’s grave and I remember all the memories that we have when his still alive and he never leaves me alone from the start and I’m sitting with him, crying and talking to him about what happened to me and when I was growing up when I was growing up when he was gone by my side. I go back to my home where all my people are, I see the new and colorful buildings in our village. People had returned to rejuvenate the buildings that were bombed and burned. We are so happy that we have a place to stay and a home to sleep. I remember my father when I was a little boy, I realise that my father is gone and I want to keep my memories with him. I want to be happy and I don’t want to be sad for my father. 

    In my village a new library has been built. I place the book back on the shelf, where once more it can be found, and read, and loved.

         

                                                               The End!

My Dream Diary, Treasure Box

My Father Is Sick

My Father is sick so need medicine. He will be fine. I’m so worried and lonely, maybe my father will die and I will be heartbroken. When I see my father weeping, I feel weak and say to myself, “Why we are sleeping on the ground, it’s cold wet and I want my hands warm?”

The Burial Day

After Days I can’t forget the days when my father is still a live. I remember our memories together and I will never forget our memories. I’m so depressed. I can’t believe my father is dead. I’m unhappy, I don’t know where I should put the “Treasure Box.”

The Treasure Box

  The Treasure Box

The village was so beautiful until the enemy threw the bomb and everything
including the books in the library burnt. The people in the village grabbed their
things and run away until they got to another village.

When we abandoned our village we had no abode and we were so afraid.
Maybe the soldiers would throw a bomb in the other villages. Maybe they would
smell the bad smoke in their city too. We were feeling aggrieved.

The parents are talking, are they staying or they are leaving? We said to our
parents that we want to stay, we don't want to get hurt. While in the village we
hear people talking, the enemy is still finding other villages to burn.
We are so sad,maybe we will get caught.

When the enemy arrives the villagers start running. They try to hide but there is
no place to hide or sleep. We see the villagers run and grab their important
things. We feel sad because we are hungry and we are thirsty but we don’t have
food and water to eat and our bed is the hard cold ground. Maybe tomorrow
things will be a little bit better, we can only pray that they will be.

Sacred Space 2019

The Sacred Space Garden is when you are sad or alone you can go in the Sacred Space Garden and you can think then you can solve your problems. It is important to the children and the others because you can think and you can be alone if you want to. It’s special because if you have a problem you can think and it doesn’t matter if someone is beside you or talking with you all that matters is you and your special time to reflect. The Sacred Space Garden is a quiet reflective garden for all of our school and community to share.

My First Time Sailing

On Wednesday morning we went to Okahu Bay to do sailing. It was great and so much fun too
We learnt how to sail a boat and to wear a buoyancy vest to be safe. The name of the sailing coaches were Steve, Justin, and JR.

Our boat was called an Optimist (or Opti), you needed to balance the Opti because if you didn't balance the boat you would into the water. The second boat was a called Topaz (or Taz). The Taz is the same as the Opti boat but bigger and had no back to it. We did some fun activities while we were sailing. It was my first time sailing and I realized how amazing it was to ride in a boat. I know that I want to learn more and I feel happy because I learnt so much my first time sailing.

Many Thanks to the Lion Foundation, Rotary, Volvo and Zhik for sponsoring the day.
