Life in NZ Compared to Life on Kapo Island

Our donations to Caritas are used to help people on Kapo Island in Papua New Guinea.

My Biopoem

Josh
Kind, fast, fit, sporty
Son of Julie and Travis
Brother of Ethan and Logan
Lover of lego,  hunting and fishing
Who feels happy, brave and smart
Who needs a house,  parents and food
Who gives love,  jokes and happiness
Who fears pain and nothing else
Who would like a farm,  a mansion and a boat
Lives in Huntly, New Zealand
Bradbury

Shrove Tuesday

This morning, we burnt last year's Palm Sunday palms to ash, so Father Keane can use them on Ash Wednesday, when he makes the Sign of the Cross on our foreheads and reminds us to follow Jesus.
After swimming, Olivina from Caritas in Tonga came to say thank you St Paul's Catholic School for the donations.

Rock Climbing

In the holidays, I went to my friend Nathanael's birthday.We went rock climbing. 
After they picked Logan, my brother, and me up, we went to rock climbing.
When we got to rock climbing, the instructor told us what to do while we put on our harness .The first rock wall I went on was  the ladder. It was a grey and black ladder that was skinny and wobbly, but I still made it to the top.
It was so cool.

Waitangi Day

Waitangi Day is a national holiday to celebrate when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed and and NZ became a nation.
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed on February 6 1840. It was signed in the Bay of Islands.It was signed by 500 Maori chiefs and representatives of the Queen. The agreements were that Maori agreed that British would make the laws and the government, and the Queen agreed the Maori would own land, forests and rivers. The British bought land off Maori. 
On Waitangi Day, we went to my dad's friend's farm and did target shooting. The target was a rubbish bin lid. My dad got a bulls-eye.
