Zero Waste

It is important to reuse, recycle, reduce and compost so that we don't keep adding to the landfill. Every month, NZ makes a rugby field long and 30 classrooms high of rubbish. We can reuse some of our old things that we don't need any more and make something else useful  such  as pencil holders, puppets pet houses critter cup-phones and animals and, maybe, we could take down that pile of rubbish.

Elgrego's Anti-Bullying Show

Yesterday my school and I went into the hall to watch the Elgrego show.
When we were ready, Elgrego began his magic by making birds appear. He then put a dove in a box and tipped it upside down and it was gone, then he put three birds into a cage, then he put a cloth over it and took it off and there was a rabbit in there. My favourite was the bird that went upside down.
Next, he performed a magic trick with fizzy raspberry drink. He put a glass in an upside down box and turned it upside down. He took it out. We were all watching to see what would happen. It was still full. We were all captivated. We all clapped.

After the drink trick, we watched Elgrego talk with Seemore, the baby green dinosaur. Seemore was sad because people teased Seemore at school because he was green. Elgrego was being a ventriloquist. A ventriloquist is someone who talks for a puppet. He sung The Rainbow Song from The Muppets and he felt better. 
Finally, Elgrego performed the brick wall trick. He got a brick wall and a sheet and put his head in a hole in the wall and put the sheet in front of him and he went through the wall.

First Communion

Last night, I made my first Communion at St Paul's Church.

Half way through Mass, Bishop Browne called the candidates up, so we all stood up and walked to the front. I was the first one on my side to get the Host and the wine, then Father Keane put a Host in my hands and I said Amen, then I took a step to the side and did  the Sign of the Cross and had a sip of some wine. When I got back to my seat, I said a prayer to Jesus. I felt happy that I had received Jesus.
