I am the Gate John 10:7

7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.  All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.  I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.   The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

My Why Poem

My amazingly beautiful skin, My sports I sometimes win.

My unique curly frizzy hair, My look, after so much care.

My fantastic Pacific Samoan foods, My never ending happy moods.

My great attitude, My friends that are never rude.

My religious Catholic self, My life with so much wealth.

 

Zoo

Zoo, by Anthony Browne is a story we studied for English. What is the role of a zoo and what is the relationship between man and animals? Below is my recreation of an orangutan enclosure and a diary entry from the POV of an orangutan entering it for the first time.

 

I step onto the cold grass already feeling relaxed, gazing over to see how colourful my new home is. Fresh scent goes into my nostrils, clearing my nose, Listening to the wind rustling, I’m already at home comfortably lying under the blooming tree above my head safely, making me the happiest orangutan in here!  

 

Stations of the Cross 2024

It was such a beautiful day to have the Stations of the Cross to deepen our faith in Jesus. It was a sad moment that we had to go through. 

 

For the Eighth Station, I had to weep for Jesus as a woman of Jerusalem would’ve wept for him when he experienced pain but tried to comfort us. Grief was in my mind as I watched what Jesus experienced while carrying a heavy cross with a weak body. 

 

At the end although we went through a tough time during the Stations of the Cross we know how much Jesus loves us, as we all see him die. 

 

Daniel sang ‘Were You There’ beautifully as each class began to walk back to their rooms quietly.
