I am St John the Baptist I am a preacher who baptises people. I am the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth. I tell people to believe in God for the coming of Jesus Christ. My birthday is on June the 24th. I am known for going out in the wild and for wearing animal skin. I was beheaded by Herod Antipas.

Moment in Time

Walt describe a moment in time

S.C: We need to:

• Just describe the moment in the photo
• keep to one picture
• no before or after
• Explain where and why you are there
• use the present tense
• use descriptive words to show what we see, hear, taste, smell, touch or feel.

Plan: Mary McKillop Centre, School, Sisters, Listening, Chapel, Welcoming, Getting ready.

Story: “Good Morning and welcome to this celebration” says Bronson. As I listen I thank God for this lovely day to celebrate the 60th Jubilee of Christ the King School.

I can also feel the nice cold breeze brushing against my face. The rest of the school surrounded the altar. While Bronson is talking could see the Sisters smiling and looking at Bronson. I could also hear the wind swirling and twirling outside. The smell of the wind is making me feel refreshed.

As i’m in the chapel I say to myself “I wonder what it would be like without Sisters/Nuns.”                                                                                                                 

New Zealand National Anthem Lyrics

The New Zealand National Anthem
God of nations at thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet.

Hear our voices, we entreat,

God defend our free land.

Guard Pacific's triple star

From the shafts of strife and war,

Make her praises heard afar,

God defend New Zealand

E Ihoa Atua,

O nga Iwi! Matoura,

Ata whakarongona;

Me aroha roa.

Kia hua ko te pai;

Kia tau to atawhai;

Manaakitia mai

Aotearoa

Men of every creed and race

Gather here before thy face,

Asking thee to bless this place,

God defend our free land.

From dissension, envy, hate,

And corruption guard our state,

Make our country good and great,

God defend New Zealand.

This story is about a man named Mr Hoppy. Mr Hoppy loves a lady named Mrs Silver. But the problem is that she loves Alfie the tortoise. The only thing wrong about Alfie is he is to tiny. One day Mr Hoppy finds a way to make Mrs Silver love him by pretending to make Alfie bigger.

The Giant Defeater

The Giant Defeater

There once was a dwarf named Bain who lived with his two brothers. He was the youngest and bravest. They lived in a little house in the woods. In the woods something secluded wonders it.

One day Bain’s brothers told him that they were stronger then him and the only way to prove that he was the strongest. “Ok I will” said Bain.

As he walks through the forest he hears something growling and hissing. Suddenly something large shouts “I am going to kill you.” Bain peaks through the bush. When looks around he can see a big hairy, smelly and ugly Giant getting ready to eat a crocodile.

“Hey why are you stalking me” said the Giant. “Get away”. As Bain goes back to his house something jumps at him. “Hahhaha now I can use you to steal the Jewel of Light” said the Giant. “Never” says Bain as he grabs a branch and hits the Giant on the Head. The Giant falls to the ground. When he got home he told his brothers he had killed a Giant and it was outside. After that they treated him like a King. The End

I’m ready to ride my dirtbike. I can see Sam riding his bike under the sun very calm and cool while his coach is cheering him on the sideline.

As he rides I start to panic because he has hit a bump. While he goes off the ground I can hear his coach on the sideline saying “Keep on going you can do it.” “I wonder if I can do that” I say to myself. “Whoa”. I can hear his bike going Broom!! Broom!!. While he is still in the air I say to myself “I wonder if he is feeling proud, sad, excited or scared.”

Body: Powhiri, Speeches, Waharoa.

Final comment: As I look at the dusk sky I say to myself “A powhiri is very special to the Maori people because it is very respectful.”

Then I figure out I am one the Tangata Whenua. As I look at the Manuhiri I hear one of the Tangata Whenua say a speech. As I look at them I see them bowing their heads in respect for the ancestors of the Te Tahawai Marae. I wonder what the ancestors would think about the Manuhiri.

As I look at the dusk sky I say to myself “A powhiri is very special to the Maori people because it is very respectful.”

Long ago there lived a lady and a man who where very much in love living on the island of Savai’i. One day the man was called away to attend a high chiefs meeting and the young lady decided to go with him. Instead they went to the island of Tutuila, American Samoa, where they stayed with some friendly villagers. After a time they knew that their disappearance would be noticed and therefore their lives together would be short lived. So they decided to give up their lives by jumping off a cliff in exchange for the lives of their families. The Gods took pity on them and they were changed into a Turtle and a Shark so that they can live for eternity.
