They all try to escape their Countries to become Refugees. Every week all of us add to our own slideshow of activities linked to the book. 

Family Fun

Family Fun

In the Easter Holidays all I did was lay in bed until like 11am in the morning, watch TV, play games and eat food, I did not do anything fun or interesting until Friday in the second week, when I went to spend my money at Riccarton mall.

On the first week of the holidays I watched a lot of Netflix shows and I did some extra housework to get $50 dollars. My chores I had to do were very hard but it was all worth it at the end.

In the second week of the Holidays I went to Riccarton Mall  with my mum to spend my money at about 10am. When I arrived the mall was really full and extremely clamorous, I sometimes hate shopping because it always an aggravation. When I was at Kmart the line was so long it took us about 10 minutes for it to be finally our turn to be at the front of the line. All I bought was art supplies, I only spent $20 dollars because I wanted to put the rest in my savings. Even tho I’m not great at drawing I want to learn to be a better drawer. Then after I shopped we sprinted out the shop as fast as a Cheetah running in the wild. Straight when I got home the first thing I did was practice some drawing.

Later that day at about 4.30pm me and my family went to Hoyts Riccarton to watch a movie, my mum picked the movie which was Peter Rabbit, I wanted to watch another movie at first but the movie turned out great and really interesting. For food we just bought popcorn and drinks.

To describe my Holiday in one word it would be enjoyable, because I spent most of the Holidays relaxing. One day working very hard, and shopping. I really appreciate spending  time with my loved ones. I will defiantly remember this amazing experience.

St Maximilian Kolbe

In Room 6 we did a slide show about St Maximilian Kolbe's life, overall I found out that he was an amazing guy, and a great role model to anyone. I learnt some very interesting facts about his life.

What I did well : I did well at putting in some of St Maximilian Kolbe.

What I enjoyed : I really enjoyed learning about what a great person St Maximilian Kolbe was and how he lived his life.

What I need to work on : I need to work on having some more information about St Maximilian Kolbe.

In Room 6 we are doing activities on the Commonwealth Games, and one of them was to write about an athlete that will be competing in the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
