Last Weekend

On the weekend my brother, and I went to Preteen.   My brother's name is Siu and he is in Room 8.  He is older than I am.  My sister goes to Youth YPG because she is 19 years old.  Lots of children from around Auckland go to Preteen.  I really like going to Preteen because it is so fun and we get to learn about important stuff.

In Preteen we are learning about how we can pray in the morning, at night and at anytime and anywhere we go.  Preteen is held in a church in Manukau city.  After learning about prayer we played dodgeball inside the church hall.  

Mother's Day

On Mother's Day I gave my Mum her card that I had made at school.  She said, 'Thank you Lupe".

Next we made lollies for my Mum.  We kept them a secret. Then we went to church.  

After making the lolly necklace we put it on my Mum's neck. It looked just like a real necklace, like the ones at the shop. After we had put the necklace on our Mum they gave us some lollies.  It was a great Mother's Day and I love my Mum very much!

The Funerals

During the holidays I went to a funeral.  It was my Nana's funeral.  She died because she had cancer.  My Mum cried and I cried too.  Lots of people came to my Nana's funeral.

After that funeral there was another funeral.  It was my Auntie's funeral.  She died in America.  She was my Dad's sister.  I felt sad for my Dad and his sister.  

We had a feast after the funeral.  That made everyone a little bit happier.

Lent

During Lent I am going to be kind to other people.  One way of being kind to other people is if you see someone who hasn't any friends you have to ask them if they want to play with you.  Then they will answer you, "Yes" or "No".  Or they might say to you that they already have some friends to play with but thank you for asking.  

Another way of being kind to others is when people need help so you go and help them.  They will say, "Thank you" and you will say, "You are welcome".  These are two ways of being kind to other people during Lent.

Persuasive Writing: Argue Against Chocolate

I think you should not be allowed to eat chocolate whenever you want to because it is not good for you.  
It has too much sugar in it and it is too sweet. It is bad for your teeth. Chocolate rots your teeth. 

So I think children should stop eating chocolate.

Meditation

In Room 2 I am learning how to do meditation. I can do meditation when I sit and stay still, close my eyes, breathe gently and place my hands on my lap.
In meditation I listen to God. Meditation helps me to listen and stay focused.
