To all the children of St. Paul's primary school, greetings from the Himalayas.
I know you have been following John and our journey to the to roof of the world. I hope you learned something about our mountains and culture.
I invite you all to join me one day to visit our part of the world.

To Jamling.
My name is Ella.  thank you for inviting our class to come see you. When I grow up I will come over maybe. I learnt so much about your adventure. And Mount Everest. Was it a nice walk to base camp and did you go any further. Say to John it was nice of him to stop and  put out rubbish bins.  


Jamling Tenzing Hi Ella. It is our pleasure to share a part of our history and culture. It was a very nice walk to Base Camp. I hope you will be able to experience it first hand in the years to come.

The Magic Show

We all stared at Jonathan, the magician, as the balloon went further and further into his mouth - maybe! 
Our school went to the hall to see a magician on Catholic School Day.
His first trick was giving someone a balloon and letting it go and making a fart  sound. 
Jonathan' s tricks were so smart I couldn't find out where it went to. My favourite trick was when he had a bit of string and he turned it into one piece and then two pieces. 
Later on, we got to watch another show. 

El Gregoe, comes every year. One of the funniest was the pizza one. He had two pizza boxes stuck together. They weren't real boxes of pizza. He said that nobody has found out how he did it but he kept on putting the boxes to the side and they moved to the other side. At the end of that, it ended up on his t.shirt .
The best trick of all time was when Sue, his wife, made him float in mid-air. I was so surprised, my mouth opened wide and my eyes were getting so big. 

The Birthday Of The Church

The Church is people spreading the good news.

The followers of Jesus were scared that they would be taken away by the guards that took Jesus, then the Holy Spirit came. They knew that it was here because they could see flames on each other’s heads and they could feel wind.

They received courage so they went to spread the Good News.

This day is called Pentecost. It was the beginning of the Church.

At The Beach

On Wednesday Mum and I went to the beach to spend time with each other.
Before we left, I was prancing around the room until I got so dizzy I fell over, then Dad called me silly. Mum said it's time to go!
When we got there, we set out the big blue tent so we wouldn't get sunburnt. But! we still had to put sunblock on so when we went in the water we wouldn't get sunburnt. 
I like collecting shells. There were all sorts of colourful colours. They were spotty and sparkly, and some were boring brown. I got this really rare one from my Nana. It was glittery in the middle and white in the outside. It was super duper big. 
After that, I went into the water. I went too far out so I had to come in closer. I called it wavy water Wednesday because the waves were big. 
A bit later on, we had lunch - bread with ham cheese with tomato sauce, and we told jokes. My Mum is so funny.
After that, we went back into the wavy water. I was so sore because I had a big red rash. 
When we got out of the water, we packed up. I was tired on the way home. I fell asleep in the car.
I Love My Mum. She Is The Best Person I Have Ever Met!

Hamilton Zoo

Squawk! Squawk! Squawk! Squawk! went the noisy Kea.

On Tuesday, our class went to Hamilton Zoo. We were investigating if the zoo was a good place for animals because we had filled up our marble jar.

My favourite thing was the noisy Kea. Its mouth was chirping the whole time I was there. I was wondering why it was chirping. It was big and fat with a bit of blue underneath its wing. Its enclosure was full of trees. It also had cages where it slept. It ate berries, seeds, and tender roots. I was getting  frightened because it started staring at me so I went over to the information board where I couldn't see it, but, when I turned around, it was still looking at me, so I slipped my finger in the cage then it started climbing up to my finger. There was a sign that said 'I bite'. If it didn't say that, I would have patted it. I wondered if it walked slowly or fast then I saw it walk. It went sort of slowly and sort of fast. I wanted to find out what its Maori name was. I want people to stop killing them. 
The Kea fluttered around the enclosure, looking like it was angry at them by peeking and squawking at it. Its mouth was like a duck but smaller. Suddenly a Kea came up to me then I thought I knew what one was the boss - the big bad one. Their eyes scared me a little bit. I was about to burst into flames when I saw the boss. It was so  big. I zipped up my mouth. My mouth was turning into a circle. I scrambled over to the other side to see if there was another big one. I felt sorry for the ones in the wild being killed by humans and the cat family. I saw four bowls full of cool water and I was wondering if Kea can go in water or if they just drink it. I think two are for playing in, and the other two are for drinking.

I felt happy spending time with my friends at the zoo.
