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.

My Recount Writing


There was a girl who was wondering around the woods. Her name was
Annabelle. She was a wonderful girl. It all started when she was five years old. Her parents were taken away from her so she grew up in the streets and she was taken to prison.  After five years in jail, she was released from prison because a friend of her dad’s helped her and her dad’s friend gave her a safety box which her dad would write to her and left a picture that lead her to the people that ruined him and his family.



Three years later a house was on for sale. She looked around and realized that it was her father’s house so she bought it. There was a lady living next to her and her name was Samantha she was Annabell’s mum but Annabelle doesn’t know her ever since she was little but she remarried and  had a husband named Jake. Four years passed and it was Annabelle’s mum and dad’s anniversary. She went to the place where her mother and father was buried and celebrated with her dad. She spent one hour with her mum and dad.


She arrived home and she didn’t know that Samantha was watching her from the other side. When she walked inside she closed the door but someone blocked it with their feet she looked and it was man wearing a mask and she never knew who was hiding under the mask. He was pointing a gun at her. She stepped back to her draw where she keeps her guns she looked inside nothing was inside so that meant that the man was already been inside. Until the man grabbed her by the neck and pointed the gun at her brain.She was scared and nervous. She was working out what she could do in a situation like this. The man unmasked himself. He was wearing a black shirt, black pants, black gloves and he had orange hair like the sunset.

My Narrative about my Power cut off.


Orientation-I was at home by myself. I was doing my homework
Complication-Power is cut off.
Resolution- Torch/Candle. I am worried,hoping mum would come back now.
Conclusion-Mum was home and I was glad, I went and hugged her.

Orientation- I was alone at home waiting for mum. I was spending time on my homework. I could hear frogs croaking, owls hooting.

Complication- Suddenly the power was cut off. I was in shock because it was so dark.  I used my hands to lead me to where I was going. But suddenly I hear someone knocking. I didn’t know my way to the door because of the darkness. It knocked for the second time but I still couldn’t know where my hands are taking me.

Resolution- Suddenly I heard a  key opened the door. I heard someone call out my name “Jack, Jack, Jack are you awake?” She said. I said “yes I am.” I called back. “Our power is cut off”. I yelled.

Conclusion- So my hands led me to her and I said “Thank you mum”.

Definition of faith

The foregoing analyses will enable us to define an act of Divine supernatural faith as "the act of the intellect assenting to a Divine truth owing to the movement of the will, which is itself moved by the grace of God" (St. Thomas, II-II, Q. iv, a. 2). And just as the light of faith is a gift supernaturally bestowed upon the understanding, so also this Divine grace moving the will is, as its name implies, an equally supernatural and an absolutely gratuitous gift. Neither gift is due to previous study neither of them can be acquired by human efforts, but "Ask and ye shall receive."

The: habit of faith and the life of faith

a) We have defined the act of faith as the assent of the intellect to a truth which is beyond its comprehension, but which it accepts under the influence of the will moved by grace and from the analysis we are now in a position to define the virtue of faith as a supernatural habit by which we firmly believe those things to be true which God has revealed. Now every virtue is the perfection of some faculty, but faith results from the combined action of two faculties, viz., the intellect which elicits the ae in act, and the will which moves the intellect to do so; consequently, the perfection of faith will depend upon the perfection with which each of these faculties performs its allotted task; the intellect must assent unhesitatingly, the will must promptly and readily move it to do so.lief


We are learning about FAITH. We made up an assembly about faith.Faith is what in your everyday prayer.

DIG DIG DIG!!!
“WHAT?” I said.”We are going to dig for worms?”I included.Mrs Tui said we are digging for worms.”But why?” I said.So I stomped outside like the feet of a giant walking down the road in the wind.But I felt like I was going to sneak back inside because of the WORMS!!!.”Stop Phoenix stop touching let go of the shovel.”I told him.”NO”.He says to me.We went to find a shady area for us to dig away into space.So Room Seven and I were digging away.


“Come down to this end Lavinia!.” Says Salamona.So we followed Lavinia like little ants following the leader.We barged in between a group.”Sorry”.I say.We continued to dig,dig,dig but still no more worms.Are you kidding me!?.The ground was dried like a solid rock we can’t lift up.But Catherine came in like a strong woman and digged away.


After that little space we digged on,we kept on moving which was not really  cool at the moment.Suddenly I turned around, I saw Genevieve with a water bucket.I yelled out “Genevieve,Genevieve,Genevieve over here bring that whole bucket of water here”.So she ran over to my group like she’s been caught from a thunder storm. She tipped it in while I was starring at nothing.It was my turn at least to dig so I digged and digged but nothing was there but the problem was that big ROOTS were in the way.But the excitement was... I FOUND A WORM!!.At least we found TWO worms.How cool was that?.But the problem was that we caught one long earth worm with blood.And one was okay because it was short.

After a tiring experience,I think it was pretty cool finding earth worms.We ran like the wind back to class and got on with our learning.So rain come and make the earth worms grow.DIG,DIG,DIG,DIG,DIG,all day long.
