Holy Week

On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem. As he was coming into the city, people started to wave palms and shout Hosanna to the King!!! When the donkey stopped, the people laid their cloaks on the donkey and, after a while, Jesus left.

Holy Thursday is the day when Jesus had the last supper with his disciples in a large room. Jesus broke the bread and gave thanks. After that, they ate the bread and drank the wine.
On Good Friday, Jesus died on the cross, but he did not stay dead for long. Three days later, he rose from the dead. That feast day is called Easter Sunday.

Swimming Sports

Yesterday our school went to the Ngaruawahia pools to have our Swimming Sports.
After lunch, we had our house relays. Before we started, Isabella jumped into the ice blue, clear water. Mr Emms blew the loud white whistle. Isabella ran as fast as she could to the other side of the pool and tagged Logan. After Logan had got tagged, he ran like Usain Bolt. When he got to the other side, he tagged Laken. After Logan tagged Laken, she swam across the pool and tagged Josh. After Josh got tagged, he dived into the pool and started to swim freestyle. When he reached the end, he reached up and tagged my hand. I felt his wet and slippery hand. I dived in. After I dived in, everyone was cheering and saying, “Go, Nat, go!” When I took a breath, I heard cheering, so I swam faster. In about 20 seconds, I reached the end.
