Christian's End

Dear Diary,

Death defying bombs go off outside our school, the whole school was terrified. We went under full lock down. The bombs kept getting closer and closer, I thought it was my end. IT WAS CHAOS!! Everybody was running and screaming. BLOOD WAS SPLATTERED EVERYWHERE LIKE GRAFFITI! Organs hanging from the open bodies, all I could see was red. I ran home like as fast as cheetah, passing a corpse laid on the ground like a dead leaf. The brightness of fire burning my eyes, the heat was too powerful. I was near my house, fire just blocking my way, all I can see is my red front door.

Sailing

Sailing 

On the 10th of May, 2021, we went sailing at Okahu Bay, thanks to St Johns Rotary and Yachting New Zealand for giving us this opportunity.

We were taught how to set the boat up and most importantly, we got taught how to sail a boat. We started by raising the sail up and then we did the other complicated parts. They taught us how to steer the boat and how to use the sail properly. If you wanted to steer right you had to turn the tiller right, its basically "turn right to go left and turn left to go right." The sail works like clockwork. To control the sail you hold a rope connected to the sail. The point of the rope is to control the sail as the wind goes past it, when the wind is too hard you roll the rope up so it can be easier to control it when the wind is hard.

We started by getting on the boat and then getting connected to the main speed boat. Once all of us were connected, the instructors pulled us behind their inflatable boats. Once we were in the deeper area we got faster and faster, We then played some games like Ball Tiggy and Numbers. At the end we were just roaming around the ocean. Sailing was fun! 

I recommend that others should go sailing. Thanks to St Johns Rotary and Sailing NZ for a great day.

Diary Entry

Dear Diary,

It's adoption day! I hear the vehicles passing by as I pack my stuff. I can feel the nerves stabbing in my body as my friends play downstairs. As I got in the car the aroma changed from warm and homely to old and fresh. On the drive home the reflections of the suns rays shone on my window as the blossom leaves fluttered to the ground. I passed by my new neighbors, I saw the same girl from the orphanage, her beautiful blonde hair waving into the wind and the sun reflecting on her beautiful blue eyes. I AM HOME!!

Diary Entry

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

Dear Diary

I feel darkness coming into my body, I feel like I did something awful, I feel like dying, I feel useless.

Everyday, I go upstairs to look out my window looking for someone who could accept my appearance and qualities, sometimes people just won't let me hangout with them just because of who I am. 

Prayer In Color

Values

 Today we discussed our values. We had to dig deep and thought hard about what really counts. I chose people as something I value because I thought about if the world ended tomorrow and what would I do first or miss. I thought of people because I think that us humans represent life and death, and how we have a life to live. 

This is a person standing on top of the world representing all of us humans and all of the livings things.
