Devotions

In class, we have been learning about integrity. It is important because nothing is hidden from God. A person with integrity does the right thing, even when no one is looking. Having integrity is a blessing.

Please enjoy my writing of integrity and of Jonah

 Integrity is being honest and doing right even when people aren't looking. Do you do all that? If you do you have integrity, but if you don't do this and do bad things behind other people's back and when people aren't looking you are not having integrity and you aren't honest. Being good when people are with you and then not when no one is looking there is still someone is still watching you every move, it is good.

Do you want to have a bad reputation with god? I don't think you do, It is not a good reputation to be known as. Integrity is something that God has; he also has resilience.

Today I will be talking about Jonah.

Jonah has a connection from God, he was sent to the great city of Nineveh and told to announce the judgment against it because God has seen what wicked people they are and what wicked things they do. Jonah went away from the lord and had disbelief in him, he went the opposite way and went to the ship leaving for Tarnish. He bought a ticket and hopped on board awaiting to get away from the lord, but God hurled a powerful storm that was violent that threatened to break the ship. Jonah was sound asleep and the shipman scurried down and woke Jonah up at once. Jonah knew the Lord has done this because of Jonah disobeying the lord and whirling up a terrible storm, and Jonah said “I shall jump into the sea and it will be calm again for you” But even though the storm had stopped the lord still had a plan for Jonah, he would be eaten by a fish and stay in the stomach for three days and three nights. Then at once, Jonah started praying and so he said “I cried out to the Lord in my trouble, and he answered me. I called you from the land of death and the lord you heard me! You threw me into the depths of the oceans, and I sank down to the hearts of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me. I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.

Then  I said O Lord, you have driven away from your presence. Yet I will look once more to your holy temple. I sank beneath the waves and the water closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head. I sank down to the very roots of the mountain. But you O Lord my God, snatched me from the jaws of death! 

As my life was slipping away I remembered the Lord. Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all gods' mercies. But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill my vows”. Then the Lord answered for the second time with the same command “ Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh, and deliver the message I have given you”, Jonah obeyed his commands.

In conclusion, Jonah has had integrity and lost faith in the lord but soon enough he became a believer again. Jonah didn't have integrity apart from the end and he obeyed God at the end

Thank you for reading this!

My reflection for the year!

 This year was very hectic. Obviously, you all know it is coronavirus and it was not a great part of the year for us but it is behind us and we can get on with being a powerful learner. Being a powerful learner is great, personally, I think I am kind of a powerful learner.

 It was very fun playing netball and rippa. We always had a game on Saturday for netball. I think all the netball teams should get a jersey or a prize for what we've done by using our lunchtime practicing. Throughout this term I have been to a volleyball tournament we won every single game and got into the finals but then this outstanding team wasted us so we came second out of everything, we were quite disappointed but we knew we weren't there to be selfish and start trash talking we were there to represent the lord and to do that we were very happy they won (not really)

I am leaving next year but I think if I had a choice I would stay here for another year. This is a great school and I hope in the future new kids can come and praise the Lord. 

Thanks for reading!

Diet argument

In class, I have been learning about healthy eating. I had t write my own argument for or against eating whatever you want whenever you want. look at me, yes you and read this!

Do you like eating? Well here is a thought, Eat healthy it makes you skinny like a stick not fat like a potato. Eating whatever you want you become a potato. Do you wanna become a potato? I don't think so. People don't think about eating healthy they just think I like it so ill get it. I know that eating healthy is GREAT. In peoples lunch boxes there are so many unhealthy decisions

you or a family member make for your lunch. In most lunch boxes there are pizzas, snack packs and even chocolate cake. 

According to osteoporosis eating foods with a high amount of saturated fat can lead to weight gain and heart disease, and heart disease can lead to death. Some people may be quite big and still have a healthy diet, whilst there are others who are small and skinny and have a horrible diet.

Are you sick of becoming bigger and bigger by the second?! I think you are and to fix that you should eat healthy. It is very good and the average amount of vegetables a day is about 2 - 3 cups! I know right you probably think it is a lot but it is actually hardly anything some people go overboard and start having 5 - 6 cups a day and that is how much you need to eat in about a couple days to a week. Many people are in love with sweets, but here's a tip: take a bite of your favourite treat then drink a full cup of water then have another bite and you won't be so determined to eat it all in one go. Please try it so you can start eating vegetables and get used to all those non flavoured things like brussel sprouts there horrible - YUCK

Third of all keto it is a great diet to make you eat healthy and become skinny which i think you will like. There are so many diets out there but i specifically think you should use the keto there are so many odd things about it that makes it the best diet out there. Keto keeps you safe in your health and in your body. I know you think it is ok to body shame but it is definitely not ok it doesn't it makes you feel like you're worthless and you can't make any progress.

And lastly do you wanna be healthy because it is the best choice for you to make? Or do you wanna become a couch potato. So quick eat healthy and become fresh,skinny and light weighted

labour day

Long weekends, you have got to love them. Do you know why we have an annual ‘Labour Day’? 

Yes because it celebrates all the achievements our parliamentarians have been doing all year. It is the

Parlament is a great organization that fights for all the countries and makes reasonable laws. That long weekend was a time to rest and celebrate that they have continued to fight again and again for our countries and make a difference.

Coding Experience

Coding Experience

In week Two the Year 7 & 8 class went to learn about coding. We learned how to use micro bits there very cool cause you can reset them and make them say stuff like the signs on the side of the road that says work roads ahead Caution.

The most thing I liked on that day was me working with my cousin trying to set an annoying alarm which we successfully did.

 

Sporty life

 In this year the not so great 2020, we have had some ups and downs but sports could always communicate with us and we had heaps of fun doing tournaments. If corona was still high in New Zealand we would have let our sport lives down these are some pictures of us doing some tournaments.
