600! That's a lot!

          600 Hundred loom bands

On Saturday morning my sister made up a challenge called the 600 bands of loom bands. It was a bit too much to fit in my hands, but I didn't wan't to give up the challenge because I wanted to prove her wrong!

First my sister got a packet that contains 600 loom bands and she divide them out among two of us. The rule was that we had to use all of the bands by making a fish tail. As time went by my hands started to turn purple because of the loss of in my blood circulation. This made my fingers turn cold. As I kept on adding more and more layers of the bands on. Soon my hands got tired of all the work so I had to stop and eat something for a few seconds. 

After that I carried on working for 20 more minutes until I realised that I only had 40 more to go. I got super excited that I couldn't wait to finish it off. Before I knew it, it was afternoon and my fish tail grew longer and longer. It was amazing. 

Finally I had made the longest fish tail. I was very proud of myself and I felt that it could been a world record.

I believe in you Judy!

On Saturday afternoon, my sister and I were in the living room watching a kids movie called Zootopia.

First we went on Google and searched up websites that had movies for kids. Once we found one, my sister plugged the HDMI cord from the laptop and connected to the television so that we could watch it on the big screen. Next we chose the genre that we wanted. There was a long list of different kinds movies like Actions, Adventure, Animations, and more. We picked Animations. Then I scrolled past the  movies to see if there was anything that I wanted to watch from the selection of movies that they had.

It was a hard choice but finally my sister suggested that we would watch Zootopia. So we clicked on it and waited for it to load for about 10 seconds. My sister and I watched the full movie and it was an hour and 48 minutes long. It was about a rabbit named Judy and ever since she was small she wanted to make the world a better place.

Two of my favourite parts were when Judy found the 13 missing animals and also when she, said that anyone can be anything that they wanted to be. It was like a lesson for the children. I had a great experience watching Zootopia and I felt very inspired by the movie.

God is in us all!

On a windy and cold Sunday morning, my sister and I went to Pamure Church to have or second Sunday class. Our teacher was Ana Tui and her helper was Maxine.

First we began our class with a short prayer. We each had a turn thanking God for things that he did for us. Then Maxine called out the roll to check if people were present. Next our lesson was reflecting on the Holy Trinity and what does it mean. I learnt that the Holy Trinity means the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

Not long after we each got a paper that speech bubbles around it and in the middle said ''God is...Our task was to come up with words that describes God like loving, Caring and more. After that we had another piece of paper that said, ''I am created in the image of God." We had to draw ourselves in the right hand corner as our homework.

Finally our class had ended so we sang a song as a prayer and made the sign of the cross. Amen.

I had a great time leaning new things especially about the mystery of the Holy Trinity.

Animals in Trouble

                
My Wild cat.

Last Friday my cat Raylie  was trapped in a tree. I was very scared because she was next to the electric  wires, so my dad called 111 and asked for the fire fighters  to rescue her.

First, my sister and I shouted out loud to our cat not panic because she looked scared and very frightened.

Then we heard the fire fighters and they parked  right next  to the the tree and pulled out their ladder. One of the fire fighters climbed up the ladder and into the tree. He safely brought down my wild cat.I was very happy to have my terrified  cat back.
