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

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. Please leave a Positive,Thoughtful,Helpful comment!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!!!!

School Interschools Day 2016

🏃Athletics Day🏃

Athletics day was awesome. Our CTK Team went to interschools on the 16th of November 2016 and had so much fun. We competed against other schools like Blockhouse Bay Primary, Glenavon Primary, Rosebank Primary and furthermore. We didn't win all of our Games and Races but we still did our very best. Well done CTK!!!!! I think we did well and I surely cant wait till next year.
