About Me

Hi, My name is Sam and I am a Year 5 student at Mt Carmel School. I wanted to participate in the Summer Blogging as I was with my mum when Rachel came to talk to her class. I asked my mum if I can join. Finally she agrees and I am very keen to journey through with so many children around New Zealand.

Athletics Day

                                     Athletics Day

Athletics day was finally here.  
It was time for the big event of the day.  I walked into the classroom, got changed into my house colour and got ready for the event.  The bell rang. We had to all get into our houses.
My good friend Sione To’a walked past our Kea house a a little leprechaun. I was pouring my head out with laughter as he pretended to be a little girl and twirling his hair around all of us.


It was time for the obstacles to start. I started with the shot put event. That was my biggest challenge for the day. When it was my turn, I wish that I was Valerie Adams. My biggest fan in any shot put events. When I pushed the ball off my hand it went across the the flags and I made it. I was so proud of myself. Next we moved clockwise to Mrs.Pole she was in charge of the tabloids. When I did the obstacle I felt so tired when I came to the zig-zag cones. But I didn't stop because my house was cheering along.


Then we moved along to Mrs.Deeney who at the beanbag throw. I thought it was a silly game but it was quite interesting. It was fun because we got to run from one end to another.


Lastly, it was time for my relays. I found the relay easy because there were only Genevieve, Catherine and myself that was running. So that meant we were taking turns at who will come first, second and third. It was finally time to know who came fourth, third, second and first. Fourth place went to Kiwis. Third place went to Keas. Second place went to Tuis and First place went to Geckos. They were so happy and proud of themselves for trying so hard.

Soul Friends Mass


Friday morning we began with our Soul Friend mass as a whole school.  We had to make our promises to our soul friends Soul Friends are two or three friends who bond to get to know each other very well.  My soul friend is Stanley and Sione To’a.  I promised to them and that I will commit myself to listen to them everyday. During our mass we listened to Father Ioane's homily. He was also talking about how special Saint Patrick's day was. Saint Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. He grew up in a rich family. He was captured when he was 16 years old. He escaped one night during a raiding party. Then he wrote many prayers about God. Then he also mentioned our new Pope. Pope Francis the first. He was from Argentina. Then he had his final prayer and the mass ended.

Triathlon Kiwi Sport

Tuesday 12th March 2013
In the past three days I had the best experience of my life. We had Triathlon. Triathlon has three main parts which is Swimming, Biking and also running put all together.  I liked to do the biking. But it was hard to sit down and pedal at the same time, so I stood up and pedalled.  It was the best experience at school that has ever happened to me.

2013 blog for the year

Malo e Lelei and welcome to 2013.
On Friday the 22nd of February we had a assembly for the first time of this year. Room 7 and I had to run the assembly. I composed a song with my friends about the Temptation of Jesus and Room 7 and I sung the song at the assembly. I felt proud of myself after we sang our song. I felt even prouder when I heard my name called out for practising the virtue of Responsibility. In the end I was so proud of myself for always trying to do my best.

Piha Camp 2012

Piha Camp
vs
Fist Pump

"Piha Camp!!!" shouted the teachers. At Camp we had a lovely time there. On Thursday we went to see Kite Kite Falls. It was such a beautiful view to see. When we all jumped in I frozen to death even Sione Dale. When we got back to the mill I went for a warm shower that was so burning my skin. We also had a bush Trail. We had to follow the rope in the dark.

Poem about Nutritions

Nutrition gives you a healthy body
Us, me, and also you.
The amount of this you have can
Really affect the things you do.
If you have nutrition
then your health will be in shape. 
If you lack this then you're
On being near to overweight
Nutrition can impact your lives.
