What a day with Saint Joseph’s school from Orakei. Saint Pius X school gathered them with a kind welcome in our church. After our welcome mass we had lunch with them outside our classes. It was really fun playing with St Joseph’s students even though they grade year stopped at six. Next was our concert, we performed a awesome concert so did St Joseph’s school. As we said goodbye, they said thank you. My highlight for the day was playing with my little friends Blake, Finley and Finn. Happy Catholic Schools Day.

Measurement Estimation Problem

This is a red bucket that will be filled with 2832 ml
and also there is a 236 ml cup. Our problem was to estimate how much 236 ml cups will fill this 2832 ml bucket.

Tevita Fohe in our group estimated twelve 236 ml cups will fill this red bucket, which was right. This how we worked it out :
in 12 there is a 10 and a 2.
10 x 236 = 2360
2 x 236 = 472
Answer 472 + 2360 = 2832. 2 litres and 832 millilitres.

God's Desire

What does God want from you ? I think that God wants me to the right thing that's why he sent Jesus.

What is stopping me from what God wants me to? I think no one stopping me because I make my own decisions and my decision is to praise God
