Suddenly a ship came they took all the boys and girls they could find inclooding Patrick. All the boys and girls were schreaming. they sailed to Ireland. Patrick looked after the sheep and swine. He had to light a fire to keep the wolves away. One night in his dream a voice said fast and pray. the next night anthor voice said go go boy there's a ship about to leave. He went to the ship there was a rope and he climed onto the ship. Then there was a bad storm. A huge wave bought the ship to land. They came to france they went off to find food they didn't find any food. Then Patrick prayed to god with all his heart for food. Then a whole herd  of pigs came runing out of the forest. They had pork chops and apples  dinner.

The Rocket

Yesterday, our school did our last swimming practice. Our class did something special. We went on a rubbery red rocket. I don't like going on rockets because I always fall down. When it was my turn, I fell over on the bit that you first step on. I got up again and scrambled on the rocket. I almost fell over straight away. On my second go, I started crawling but then, when I got up, I slipped. We got free time then we got a lollipop.  


Swimming Sports

Yesterday was swimming sports. Our school walked to the Ngaruawahia pools. I raced in the big pool because I wanted to go to Interschool's. 

The first swimming I did was freestyle. I came 3rd. We had to wait a long time for our next turn. Our second thing was backstroke. I came 2nd. When the little kids came, our school got a 15 minute break. 

When it was over, we got free time. It was 30 minutes. 
Next, were the relays. I was doing the flying squadron. St Francis came 3rd. Lots of people said, "Better luck next time." Caden and I went home.
