Our Memoir Poem Video

In our class we have been writing memoir poems to express and share our best memories we have made here at Christ the King. This poem means a lot to me because sadly this is my last year here at CTK. It explains my good and bad times here at CTK. I think I could add more expression and also some pictures to show more of my journey at CTK. I really like the song we have added to the video because it matches with everything and I really like how my group has added subtitles so that if you dont hear us speaking you can just read the subtitles.

The Summer Learning Progamme

As the year is coming to an end we all are excited for the holidays. But some kids usually forget their knowledge and also get bored during the holidays. Here at school we have been learning to use our Blogs for the Summer Literacy Challenge. This will help me and other kids at my school improve much more in literacy. So keep checking my blog for some wonderful work!

Soccer Passion Project - Paige & Ferah

 In the Senior hub of the school we have been creating some presentation about what we are most passionate about. I am very passionate about soccer and I paired up with Ferah who also has a passion for soccer. Ferah and I then thought our class the rules and positioning of soccer and we played a very fun game. I really enjoyed teaching everyone my passion and everyone participated in every part and they looked like they enjoyed it. I think I could have been a little more organized in everything but it was awesome. Please leave a Positive, Thoughtful, Helpful comment!!!

Mother's Day Poem

🌹💓Happy Mother’s Day!💓🌹

                   When you thought I wasn't looking

I saw you make my favorite dinner

And I knew little things from mum are special

When you thought I wasn't looking

I saw you wash my dirty soccer boots

And I knew you cared about me.

When you thought I wasn't looking

I heard you say that you would give the last cupcake to me

And I learnt to put others before myself.

When you thought I wasn't looking

I saw you stand in the rain freezing cold at my soccer game

And I learnt to make sacrifices for others.

When you thought I wasn't looking

I heard you doing the dishes even when you felt sick

And I learnt that you have to be ready regardless of how you feel.

When you thought I wasn't looking

I heard you say to my Dad how well I did in soccer

And I knew you are proud of me every step of the way.

When you thought I wasn't looking

I saw you give money to a homeless woman

And I learnt random acts of kindness are nice.

When you thought I wasn't looking

I looked……

And I wanted to say thank you

For everything you’ve done for me when you thought I wasn't looking

Camp Recount - Confidence Course

Camp Recount

Confidence Course

Have you ever felt like you're about to die but really you're just nervous? I definitely did doing the confidence course at camp. As I walked in I had no doubt in my mind that I would fail but those nerves got better.

At this time I had mixed emotions. I was scared as a mouse that had been chased by a cat. But I was also excited because everyone that had done the confidence course before me seemed to have a huge smile on their faces and it made some of my butterflies go away.

The time had come and it was my turn. Everyone was cheering for me saying “ Go Paige, You can do it”. Then, I pushed off the rope and landed onto the net. I was very happy because I was the first to make it onto the net. As my turn went on the course was very challenging. I started with level 1 but as soon as I got to the tyres I fall of. My feet were sinking into the mud and it was a disgusting feeling.

I wanted to then try a different level so I moved onto the level 2. It was very challenging but somehow I didn't fall in once and made it to the end. For me it seemed like I had accomplished something that was very hard and challenging and somehow it was easier then the red.

Walking back up to have a nice warm shower I knew in my mind I could accomplish anything if I work hard at put my mind to it. I had felt like I was in my own little bubble with a big smile on my face. Ready to take on the world.

Last week the senior side of the school attended camp. It was very fun and challenging. We had different activities like Go Carts, Confidence Course and lots more. We were told to write a recount about one of the challenging activities we had done at camp. I decided to write about the confidence course. The recount basically talks about the challenging parts of the confidence course. Please leave a Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful comment!!!

Judges, Prophets and Kings

The last past weeks we have been learning about Judges,Prophets and Kings and what they did in the Old Testament. I really enjoyed working as a group and I learnt so much about the spirit of God. I think they I could have gone more into detail and make sure that everything was right. Overall I learnt a lot working on this an it was very interesting and fun.

Community Presentation - RSAC

As part of our learning about community, we had to pick a community we belong to outside of school and share some information about it. The community I focused on was Roskill South Athletics club. I belong to this community and I am very proud of it. One thing I enjoyed working on is, learning more about this community and finding info about the history. One thing I could have done better was looking more into the records and who holds them. Overall I really enjoyed working on this. Please leave a Positive,Thoughtful,Helpful comment on this post.

An Ode to St Joseph

An Ode to Saint Joseph

O’dearest St Joseph

Eyes shine upon everyone like the sun in the sky

Your generous smile shines upon yourself

As your kindness inspires all

You were always joyful

The Father of Jesus

Worked as a Carpenter

He was Married to Mary the mother of Jesus

Born in 90 BC in Bethlehem

Died  July 20, AD 18  at the age of 90

Was always loving and caring towards others

Did you like working as a carpenter?

Were you shocked to have a child?

Did you ever believe the son of God would be your son?

Did you have any regrets during life?

Was it hard to let Jesus go?

Your determination to get  things done is inspirational

Thank you for being the person you were

By Paige

This week we were thought how to write an ode. We had to write an od about St Francis (Jesus's Dad). I think that I asked some good questions and questions that I think would help me learn more about St Francis and who he truly was. I think I could improve by writing more interesting facts about him so that people reading this post understand who he was, he and why he is so important.

Caritas Communities - Syria

 We are learning about Caritas communities. In class we had to read the Caritas Lent information and choose one of the counties they talked about. We then had to research and write about that country and how Caritas helps them and why.

 I really enjoyed making this slideshow and learnt a lot about Syria and how Caritas helps communities in need. I think I could improve by adding a little more information about war and the country. But overall it was AWESOME!!!!!

Justice - Term 3 Value

My Lucky day

My Lucky Day

Going up to receive 1 certificate is awesome but going up to receive 4 awards is even better. This morning, I have received 3 awards plus a values voucher prize. I received 2 awards for my speech because I had made it into the speech finals and was able to say my speech in front of the school.  Surprisingly, I had received an award from my teacher for a great speech and having the courage to say it in front of my school. Really, I had to go up again to receive my values prize hoping that would be my final time for the day to go up. Anyways, my prize was a book that I got to pick.

This really was my luckiest day EVER!.
