Speech

I’m the Human Torch who lives mostly on a porch, one of the words in our prayer is sought, but really thats what I thought. I can fly, I can touch the sky, when you touch me you’ll get burned and then your mum and dad will be concerned. I’m not that short but kinda tall, we have a boy in the classroom named Paul. Some people are unique especially Monique. One of my powers is fire, I really hate it when I have to fly higher and I have a friend his name is Saia but to be honest he's a compulsive liar. It’s ironic how I have a brother he looks like my twin, but we really found him in the rubbish bin. I like hot and spicy food it really puts me in a good mood. Goodbye for now I’ll see you around, please behave and don’t be a clown and if you see something lost lying around put it in the Lost and Found.

NZ Breakers Visit

New Zealand Breakers


On a lovely afternoon we had a special guest visiting Saint Pius X. They were from the New Zealand breakers. It were only two members  that came to represent their team and they were Daryl Corletto and Duane Bailey. Daryl comes from Melbourne, Australia and Duane come from West Auckland. Daryl’s position in basketball is a guard and his height is 193cm, he weighs  87kg and he is number 3. Duane’s position in basketball is a power forward, he weighs 87kg, his height is 196cm and he is number 11.


When they finished introducing themselves they got us to warm-up because we were going to be playing some games. The winners of the games won a breakers ball and hand band. Everyone was having fun competing for the prizes. We also played another game called Red light, Green light.  Green light, Red light was easy to play when Duane says green light we all have to try to run to the other side of the court, If he says red light everyone has to stop until he say green light again, if you're still moving when its red light you have to start again. It was very hard to win this game because Duane kept changing the lights quickly.


When we all finished playing games we all came together and sat down. We got to  ask  Daryl and Duane about their life..


The highlight of my day was playing  Red light, Green light because everyone was being nice to each other and not cheating. The bad thing that I didn’t like about it was when people were pushing each other and making people cry.
But besides I had lots and lots of fun and people were very elated because they were laughing and having fun.
