The Wonderful Orchestra!

The Orchestra

We went in the bus to the Aotea Centre to listen to the orchestra. I saw some buildings and some train tracks out of the window of the bus. I was feeling happy and excited on the bus. 

When we got to the Aotea Centre we walked up stairs with our partners. We sat down on the seat. The orchestra used the instruments to make music. They made beautiful sounds with the instruments. Everybody clapped because the music was beautiful.  

We got the bus, back to school.

Come on!! Celebrate Mission Day! by Xavier

We should celebrate Mission Day so that orphans can have paper, pencil, food and water to use. We donate money so that they can have shelter, clothes and electricity. We raise money to the orphans so  they can read books.

 We should celebrate Mission Day so that they can build school for the orphans in India.

How is APOPS important? by Kevin

APOPS is important because we can listen to music from instruments.

The instruments are violin, flute, trumpet, drums, piccolo and keyboard. We need to listen to APOPS so we will know what musical instruments they use to make music. If we don't go to APOPS, we will not know any musical instruments and what sounds they make.

The best part I like most is the music from the musicians playing the trumpet because it makes a big sound. When the orchestra started to make the music of a parade, it scared me.

I think APOPS is cool because the musicians play lots of musical instruments to make cool music.

The Teddy Bear

                                     Teddy Bear

The teddy bear is comfy and soft. Its is hairy all over. The teddy bear has black marks and his paws are very large. I can hug the teddy bear. I can play with it. The teddy bears scarf is colourful. I like the teddy bear because it is soft.

Do you have an orphanage you raise money for? by Lupe

     Should we celebrate Mission Day?


We should celebrate Mission Day so we can donate money to the orphans in India.

It is important to donate money because the orphans don't have any homes to live in.
 They don't have mums and dads.

 St Patrick School should donate to them so they could go to school and learn.
We should celebrate Mission Day so they can buy pencils, books and paper to use at school, from the money we donated. St Patrick School should celebrate Mission Day so they can have clothes to wear and electricity to light their homes.   
  
 I think Mission Day is very very important, to help the poor orphans in India.

I love ice cream, it's the best! by Mary

                                            Ice cream
Last Thursday me and my class made ice cream. First, we cracked 4 egg whites in a big bowl and then we put the egg yolks in the second big bowl. Lupe's group had to mix the egg whites first until it  became fluffy and thick. My group had to mix the egg yolks to so that they will become fluffy and thick too. Xaveir's group had to mix the cream to make it thick. Then we put the egg whites, egg yolks and the cream together. Every one had a turn mixing the egg whites, the cream,to the egg yolks together. Lastly,every one had a turn to put all the ingredients in a container, so Mrs Twomey can put it in the freezer.
