This term on Holy Thursday we did a re-enactment of the Stations Of The Cross. Jesus shows his determination and commitment towards taking the cross up. Everyone in Room 8 dedicated themselves to play an important part in the making of the Stations Of The Cross.

I wholeheartedly had the role of Jesus. I walked through the crowd bruised, bloody, sweaty with tears bearing the burden He didn’t deserve. As I walked in front of Pontius Pilate, the look of disgust crossed his face. 

Pilate said “take him away,’’ they put the cross on my shoulders. The weight of the cross made it hard. I was whipped along the way and was in agony. I fell in exhaustion on my knees, trembling. The soldiers forced another man out of the crowd, a man named Simon to help me.

As Jesus arrived at the Mt and was nailed heavily to the cross, his final words were, “IT IS FINISHED!’’   

Station Of The Cross had made me believe that if Jesus didn’t give up, i won’t either.

Nelson Mandela was a former president of South Africa and an anti racism activist.  Anti racism means rebelling against the system where different races are treated unfairly. For example, White people had more rights and advantages. Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 and won 250 others awards. 

 

Mandela was arrested and imprisoned on Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town for betraying the South African government laws by continuing to join the ANC even though the government banned anti-apartheid groups such as the ANC and for leaving the country illegally. He was released from prison 27 years later. 

 

In 2009 the United Nation made Mandela’s birthday into Nelson Mandela International Day. The holiday represents the importance of global activism and community service. 

Nelson Mandela died on December 5th 2013 and the whole world celebrated his life.

some people think that lent is, you have to give up something for 40 days and to see the results, and then after you keep making the same habits and break the promise , well for me lent is something you have to give up but not for 40 days but for longer imaging the difference it would make if you had given up being lazy and and to stop eating junk,and stop watching technology i think there would be a big difference in your life.

this picture shows the life before the zoo, the black shows them depressed  because they have been in a zoo. for people a Zoo is a fun place to go because you get to see different animals but you don’t see the animals feelings, Some Zoos nowadays are kinda brought down, there are hardly any animals because we keep hunting and selling them to different place’s, but the point is, that we should try to look after our animals because we need them, animals have been here for millions of years, and the population is brought down because of us, because we like the food to make us happy.

On November the 2nd we were going to the Manaiakalani Film Festival. When it was 10:00 am, we had our lunch early because the film would be an hour and a half long and so that we wouldn’t starve.  When our lunch was done the bus was here. Mrs.George had told the classes to line up on the court and we were all budded up with a buddy from Rm2, and Rm1.

 

 I was buddying up with Paul, we started to go on the bus, when we got to our destination i did not know that we were going to Sylvia park theatres. We saw different schools there. people were staring at us confused that we should be at school,it was so crowded there and it was hard to move.when the teachers finished checking that everyone was off the bus we had crossed the road, and we walked by other schools that were looking at us.

 

When we got into the theatre we were so excited, there wasn’t that much room so some students got extra lucky and got to go on the couches at the very top,but I was grateful for my seat, I didn’t know the schools that were there.  There were quite a few of films there,when it was our turn to show our film we were all excited for it especially our class, there were about 3 films from saint pats

 

 Conclusion :After it was all done we all lined up to get ready to go, and when we went back there were heaps of schools and it was extremely crowded and we could not cross because of the wait of the other schools.when we got on the bus there was a 5 min delay because of all the traffic. When I got moving everyone was talking about how fun it was to watch the films. It was cool to go and watch the films and it was a fun experience.

 

My argument writing about AI)

Why The Stone Cottage Is Important To Our Community?

 

Intro: The Stone Cottage has been around for about 175 years(since 1848)and still standing.

 

Par: The Stone Cottage is important because it is one of the last things in Panmure besides the hotel which was built in 1881. The Stone Cottage is a little modern house that has been around since the 1800s, inside the house there are alot of old things, such as old brushes,old beds,clothes, and old books probably made right before the Stone Cottage was made, i would have never known that back then they did their business in a bowl, that’s disgusting, but that’s how it was back then.

 

Par 2: When we went inside we had been told that the clothing back then were so not like our clothing but different(like this)

They had  long dresses, corsets and hats. Fashion was based on styles from London and Paris. From the 1850s home sewing was a way to not spend money, and was also a primary thing for women. 

 

conclusion:Although the Stone Cottage IS very important because it can remind the future generations on how we used to live back then.
