14 November
Dear Parents
Only one sleep
to go till Pet Day. I know the children are looking forward to it. A big thanks
to the PTA organising committee for all your hard work in preparation for
tomorrow.
Yesterday I
was fortunate to be able to watch one of our touch teams play. It was great to
see the commitment and enjoyment the children show and the support given by
their parents. A very close game!
FAITH FACT FOR WEEK 5
More from Lumen Fidei…
“Faith is truly good for everyone; it is a common good. Its light
does not simply brighten the interior of the Church, nor does it serve solely
to build an eternal city in the hereafter; it helps us build our societies in
such a way that they can journey towards a future of hope” (LF§45). As we continue our
faith journey back to God how are we working for the common good of all? Spend time praying for the needs of others
who are less fortunate than us.
Our prayers are with the
Winders family with the recent death of Fr. Brian Winders.
Fr.
Brian was a parish priest at Sacred Heart and will be remembered with much
fondness by older parishioners.

Class Happenings Room 9
Snippets From Room 9’s Stewart Island Experience
The
Ferry ~
It was a nice calm day. The waves were small and calm. It was not
cloudy. It was a sunny day. There was a buzz of excitement all around the boat
and in the boat. But some people were nervous like me. Caitlin
“Vrnn”
went the boat as we left Bluff on our way to Stewart Island. Yeah! The kids
were screaming and shouting as they were having a good time. You could smell
the salty odour that came from the sea and you could feel the cold cool air, as
the boat drove past the islands. All you could hope for now was to spot a
Hectors dolphin. Jake
“I
got a bite!” I shouted “I think it’s a Blue Cod. I reel the fish in. Finally
the big strong fish is on the boat. The fish was a Trumpeter. The fish was yellow and grey colours. It had
huge eyes. Morgan, the one who fillets the fish, cut my fish and blood came
pouring out of its body. Cory
Have
you ever been fishing? Well I have its really fun. When we were going fishing
we had to keep moving because we weren’t catching anything. Then finally we
were catching some fish. I was waiting and waiting and waiting I finally caught
a fish. Once I reeled it in we took photos. Click, click, click, click, click,
click, smile, smile, smile. Bridie
Have
you ever been fishing on a boat well that’s what we did on camp at Stewart
Island.? If you want to hear the story
don’t jump over board. This is what we used to catch the fish: rod, reel, bait,
line, sinker, hook and a boat. We were waiting on the wharf and then a fishing
boat came round the corner and backed into the wharf. We got on and zoomed to
the fishing spot. We got our rods ready
and dropped the line until it hit the bottom. Then BITE I’ve got a fish I
pulled it up and it was a small one. I kissed it then let it go back into the
ocean. Tom
To be honest I didn’t have high hopes of catching
a fish I don’t think anyone else did either but just about everyone caught a
fish.
But I’m going to tell you about my fish and how I
reeled it in. So like I said I didn’t have high hopes of catching a fish But I
tried to keep positive.
After a while I started to get very impatient.
Then the unthinkable happened I got bites on the bait. So I reeled in so fast
it felt like my arm would fall off but it didn’t.
That’s when my adventure started I was still
reeling it in. It felt like ages but it was kind of fast at the same time
somehow.
But after
that adrenaline pumping journey it was all worth it because I caught what I was
looking for the beautiful, ugly looking Blue Cod! William
How far down you
have to go to hook up with a Blue Cod?
You have to go
to the bottom because Blue Cod eat stuff off the bottom of the sea.
How do you hook up with a
Blue Cod? When you start to get bites flick your rod up in the air. If you get
the feeling on your rod that something is trying to escape from the rod then start to
reel it in. Justin
