Catherine McAuley 9th february

Catherine McAuley 

 Catherine McAuley was born in Ireland in 1778 September 29th. She was very young when her dad died, she was only 5 years old and then a couple years later when she was a teen, her mother died from a critical illness. Later on her sister passed away in her deathbed. 

 When her mother and father died she was sent to live with her friends and family, her sister and brother lived with a very wealthy and kind family and Catherine lived with a family although her bed was on the floor, so she moved in with her brother and sister. Catherine's dad was a Christian and her mum was a Protestant. She wanted to be a christian to look after all, so she decided to use the money she was left from Mr Callaghan when he died, to build a Mercy House. Mr Callahan gave Catherine the money because he over heard his daughter talking badly about Catherine and that she didn't deserve that disrespect. 

Catherine decided to build the Mercy House in Bogget Street because that was where all the rich people lived. She hoped they would notice her helping and teaching others and then they could donate or join to help out with the less fortune people . She was going to provide clothes, food, a warm bed and much more that they need. Catherine McAuley travelled to France while learning about teaching larger groups of children.

In 1831 in Dublin, Catherine founded the Mercy Sisters. She promised she would devote herself to God and to end world poverty. In 1827 Catherine McAuley became a nun and in 1831 she and two companions took their vows.  
Catherine McAuley died at 63 in 11 November 1841.

My made up recount

 

First day of school  

On Monday the 14th of August,It was my first day of school. I got up, got dressed for the day ahead. 

I put on, a striped blue top with my favourite jeans.  I listened to music on the way to school ,while I strolled along the pathway,  

I had my earphones plugged In because I felt happy, and decided to listen to pop music. 

After I listened  to music I  grabbed out my pink and yellow pencil case and  blue math book, for learning. Instead of doing my math mentals I really wanted to draw it was my biggest passion. 

Myself had drawn ice cream, pandas, sunsets, you name it i could and can still draw anything. 

 

It was finally lunch so I drank my herbert tea so that I could feel a little better because in science I felt unwell, because there was an explosion that involved acids and fumes so as soon as I heard a boom I scurred out the door. 

Finally it was home time and I was so happy because i got to ride my new bike home from school. 

I put on my  helmet and sang the whole way home.

And then got home and did my school work on my pink, pretty laptop, we were doing school online courses everyday now for a week. 

Waitangi trip

Waitangi  

On Friday my class went to Waitangi for the day.  

As soon as we got there Whaea keery and Whaea Monica were waiting

for us to take us to the learning space. 

We got to the learning space and listened for a while then, had something to eat

then got on with the task. 

We had to make a scratch animation that had at least one moving character that

could have different costumes.  

It was really cool to see everyone's animations. After that we had breaks to eat

and chat . 

We did another scratch activity before we left and that was super duper fun

because we could control the characters. 

When it came time to leave I was sad but happy I went on that amazing trip. 

In class we had to make a recipe for sometime i choose to do a peanut-butter and jam grilled sandwhich.

Most of the class shared there speech's on August the 3rd when we had all finished our speech's we had to reflect on them.

MY SPEECH REFLECTION 

Hello!

I chose my topic by reflecting on myself and deciding what most represents me. 

I chose my language then practiced every night and day until I had nailed it. I thought of my topic and ideas then drafted it and then my Mum helped me to do the finished copy. 

I presented my speech on Monday the 3rd of August. When I presented It to the class, I was not at all nervous.

 I was super excited to share my speech and thoughts.

 I was one of the last people to share my speech, because Miss Slattery was picking names out of the jar. 

I think my speech was amazing but I could have maybe used a bit more hand gestures.

The snowy snow

The snowy snow

During the two week school holiday i was able to go to the snow in Tapou even
though i had been twice already i was still as excited as ever. 

AS i hopped in the car wearing my raincoat, snow pants,
snow boots and of course my gloves. 

Then we were ready! My brother, uncle, and little cousin
Harper were coming as well. 

It was a two hour drive but we really wanted to see the snow
so we kept on driving. 

We finally arrived and it was icy cold. We went on a snow
shuttle and started going up the Mountain.

 As we went up the mountain there was instant snow. As we
walked up to get our gear we played with the snow for a bit
and then went to collect our gear. 

It took us two whole hours!  just to get our ski boots, ski poles,
and also our snowboards.   

As soon as I got on the wet cold snow it was just spine chilling,
teeth chattering and even mouth numbing. While i was watching
people slipping  and sliding on their skis and snowboards i wanted
to try it so i did i began with doing the skis which i had done before
so it was pretty easy and after half an hour i wanted to try
snowboarding and yes it was my first time trying snowboarding it
was very  terrifying because of how many times i crashed but overall

It was a super duper day. 

Finally it was time to leave and go back to Auckland. 

Comment  how you would feel if you were at the snow?
