Holy Week

This week, we are learning about Holy Week, the week when Jesus rode  into Jerusalem on a donkey and people threw their cloaks onto the ground while waving palms in the air.
The Last Supper.
When Jesus got to Jerusalem, the first thing he did was meet his friends. They said, "Where do you want to eat the feast?"
He said there will be a guy in a house.Tell him that there will be a feast here. Jesus followers said, "We will go  and prepare everything for the passover feast."
Jesus answered, "Go into the city. A man will meet you. Follow him. He will go to a house. Tell the owner of the house the teacher wants you to prepare the room for the passover meal, so the followers went into the city and prepared the passover meal.

Jesus went with his twelve disciples and they broke the bread and he said, "Take this all of you and eat it. This is my body which will be given up for you."
When supper ended, he took the cup and said, "Take this all of you and drink it."
Jesus got up from the table and went to a different part of the room and wrapped a towel around him  and washed the disciples' feet  and dried them with a towel.
On Easter Sunday, Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead.

Boating With My Cousin

When I went boating with my cousin, we went to the beach to stay the night.  

First, we towed my red and white boat to the lake.  I wish that it was a double decker but it is a speed boat.  
When I got to the beach, my cousin and I set up the tent. It was hard work!  
Later, we went on the ski-biscuit. I fell out! I was cold and wet.

Swimming Sports

The school and I went on a school trip to Ngaruawahia Pools for swimming sports. 

Before lunch, I did my freestyle race. It was so hot that I was a hot steaming hotdog. The water was as cold as ice. Aaaagh! The water cooled me down and I felt better. I was kicking as fast as an SS car and making my arms so fast that they were going to come off my body. I could not be seen. When I finished, I felt happy. I came first because I'm a great swimmer.
After the Flying Squadron, It was the parents' race. I said to my mum, “Go, go, Mum, you are a swimming champion,” and it was 50 years before they last won the race. They always came in last.  My mum and Mrs Death were in the race too and it was the only reason that we won.

Proper Nouns

This morning, we learned  about  Proper Nouns which are special names given to ordinary nouns, for example, A boy called Alex and McDonalds. It was easy to learn.
