If I met Jesus in a park and he asked me …”Are you living by my Beatitudes?” I would say……

Choie Sew Hoy was born in Guangdong province in China in 1838.When he was thirteen he went to the United States with extended family members, which they were taking part in the California Gold Rush.A few years later he became a Merchant because he saw people making more money in California then miners.Choie Sew Hoy successfully spoke his reason about why Chinese people should be treated fairly instead of having to pay a tax of $1,770. When he spoke out New Zealand stopped with the tax and apologised to the Chinese people.Sadly after Choie Sew Hoy died there was no funeral for him because he was now lost at sea with 496 dead passengers along with him.  

I chose a bible because it reminds us that we need to spread God’s Gospel everywhere we go and to learn more about Jesus through his life when he was on earth.

Lent is about Fasting, Praying, and Almsgiving.

In my Lentern Backpack I have a Rosary and Bible for Prayer to God when I need help. Food for all the poor and hungry people around the world and lastly a water bottle to show that I am fasting from drinking any fizzy drinks.

Dear Diary

Along the side of the line, I looked back. A long line of people hustling forward, trying to get out of this nightmare. More bombs come, ruining and slashing our homes. Ash and smoke rain down upon us. I smelt the fear in people.

Lost without a home for now… our home was  gone. Walking miles and miles for so long. Rocks filling my shoes with blisters forming as they terrorize  me. Ditches, hedges, sleeping here fills me with pain. Huddling together as we sleep, the warmth of my father comforts me. As thoughts swirl around my head, one stands out from all of them, 

“When will this ever end?” As I walked I saw many of the wounded crying out. All the scratches on my body are not the only pain that I feel. My Mother and Brother are the worst pain of them all.

I was reading a book about Corprolite Hunters who search for fossilised poo. I have attached some facts about Moa.

Kia Orana My name is Marii.

I go to Saint Patrick’s School.

I am in Year 7 Rm 8 and my teacher is Ms  George.

My favourite subject is Maths and I enjoy learning about division and multiplication. I am good at singing and helping people with their work. My goal for this year is to get 100% in my PAT tests. In my spare time I like to sing and listen to songs with my brothers.

God the Father is the one who created the sun to give light to us and shine down upon us protecting us.

Jesus is our saviour and healer.

God the Holy Spirit is the wind that blows into lives connecting God’s light and Jesus’ love.

Today I was doing the Summer Learning Journey Totally Awesome Sea Turtles Kick Start. Just before I did the Step it Up challenge one. I knew that I should do this one especially because I did the other one. For this one I was asked to write five facts about Sea Turtles. As I was doing them it took me awhile because I had so many Interruptions. Finally I was nearly finished, I just needed to add the finishing touches to my project. Finally I was ready to blog about my Project and show to all you guys who are seeing my blogs. Here is my five facts about Sea Turtles.
