Lenten Journey

During my Lenten journey I learnt the three most important things we need to remember which are, prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. Inside my backpack are items needed for my Lenten journey.

The water and food are keep me nourished.

The holy Bible will help me to keep my faith

The money is to give to the marginalized for Almsgiving.

The phone is for fasting reminding me I am giving up devices so I can spend more time with my family.

And the rosary is to help guide me.

 

 

 

Peter’s perspective

Dear diary

The smoke went into the sky as people invaded the country. Watching, I felt devastated and confused as others hustled to move quickly to escape.

My country has been bombed, I feel devastated. My feet have become numb. Freezing snow covered the ground as smoke entered my nostrils. Children were hiding their faces from the traumatic incident. People huddled close at the side of the road trying to keep warm. I can still hear echoes of the bombs exploding out in the distance… I pray that my Dad and I get a place to stay, along with other families that survived the bombs.

Creative writing

To get our creative writing back Mr Bell put on some images for us to make stories about.

I was walking down the path leading to the woods, The muddy ground sticking beneath my boots. The stars shining giving light throughout the path leading to Assyria,  my foolish but young self not knowing where to go.

“It’s been so long..why can’t I reach Sycamore yet?” as she takes one more step something lightly pushes her, like it was trying to prevent her from coming even further, “Delta.. Delta!”.

I jolted up in a cold sweat finally waking up from that dream. “Hurry up! we have to get water from the well.”                   “As you know, I’m sick, why can’t I just have a break for once?” Cian sighs “ok, so? I’m also tired as well. even all the other slaves are tired.” I groan with a tired face “Fine fine, I’ll work.. “I groan as I get up from the bed. “oh hey, Cian isn’t my -” Run, run! for your lives, Isfet has come to bring chaos upon the world again!  “Hey! what’s happening, and who’s Isfet?” Before someone could answer a huge ball of  meteor looking things hit the place causing pain to the people who got hit from it. 

 

My cycling experience

Yesterday we had a cycling experience for years 5 & 6’s. We had to leave as soon as the bell rang but Ms Kyle kept holding us back because some students were “misbehaving” so we couldn’t get to the bench and had to sit on the ground. The instructors that were gonna teach us were Lucy and Stephanie but before that Lucy showed us how to check if our helmets and bikes were working properly and if it would keep us safe, while Ms Agnew and Ms Kyle were being taught  for a bit from Stephanie.

 

After that we were split into the teams now that we’re named by our favorite vegetables, the names were broccoli and carrots. I was with Stephanie, then we picked our bikes and got our helmets and went to the top court to practice for a bit but first we had first had to do the safety check then. But I was having trouble on how to set my height seat and why it was moved side to side and turns out that it just wasn’t secured properly then Stephanie asked us to go to Ms Agnew if we were not that confident and not much left then 3 people. After that we lined up in a line by the yellow line and lined up in a line to play a game, the game was just like follow the leader game. Stephanie would lead us and we would follow the person in front of us, after that we practiced on how to do brakes and how we would stop exactly on the yellow line. I’m pretty sure that the boy’s team won that game, I’m not really sure about the other games but we had to move to Lucy because there were apparently a lot of people that were cycling last year and not many people could fit in the canopy from what I heard. When we arrived Lucy was just teaching the other group on some stuff about gears and things like that so we just put our bikes down and just waited in for our turn while Lucy and Stephanie were talking about what happened and asked if she was alright about this, then Lucy agreed and told us about the gears as well and on what we were going to do and we’re gonna know how to change gears when were riding around, then Lucy told us that we had to change gears while cycling or else the chain might break. After that Stephanie left us with Lucy to teach the others, but she would check on us from time to time.

 

Lucy then set up some cones to test our control over our bikes and a square cone to show when we would stop, she told us to count for 5 seconds but slowly to not get crowded but there was a bit of a problem when the line started to get long and crowded so we had to count around like 7 seconds and more slowly so people could stop without having to worry about, after that we did a race into 2 teams where we would do signals with our hands, and stop in a box. Then we switched teams but while we were doing it we found out that Lucy was gen z and actually had a nice time and sadly the last game we were gonna play was like a race but whoever got to the finish line lost it was pretty fun and Lucy also played the last round which was really fun and then after that we had free time to play for a few minutes and had to set our gears back into 1 or 2 and said bye to Lucy and Stephanie.

 

It was a really great time.
