The First Candle

On Monday, the special characters led whole school prayers because of Advent. After Prayers, the First Purple Advent Candle was lit. There are three purple candles and one pink one. There is only one pink candle because it symbolizes that Jesus is born and it's Christmas.

St Peter's Orchestra

Last week, we had the St Peter's Symphonic Orchestra play at our school. They played lots of songs for us. My favourite one was the James Bond theme. I liked the James Bond theme because it was very funky.

There were lots of types of instruments. Like Brass, Woodwind and String Instruments.

Sports Assembly

Last week, it was the sports assembly. It was so long, it dug into our home time. The first one was the Year 5 and 6 Kapa Haka group. I was in it. The songs we performed were 

Te Himene O Te Hepara Pai, Te Aroha, Tika Tonu which was the Haka and the Hareruia. We also did this at the Eden Albert/ Rocket park Cultural Festival. Then after a long time, there was the Irish Dancers.  Then it was home time. 

Christmas Tree Ornament

On Friday 30th of November, we made a Christmas ornament. We made Christmas Ornaments to hang up on our Christmas tree.  Here's a secret. Sometimes when we make Christmas Ornaments, some   adults say they'll keep it, but then they throw it in the bin. 

Don't tell or ask your Mum or Dad if they do that! 

We made Christmas Ornaments shaped like birds.  This is mine. It's not finished yet. :(
