Yesterday was half term and the day before. After breakfast I played the piano. I made a house out of
boxes. Then I played in it. Than the bell rang and I went to get sweets. Mr. Ronald said we could not have
sweets unless we picked up a piece of garbage. After I got my sweets I went on the monkey bars. I went back
in the dorm and I played with my doll. Then we had milk and cookies and we went down to the river. I asked
it I could climb a tree, I climbed the tree and I read in the tree. The next day we went to the cottage. We
had swimming then we went hiking to the falls. Some of us swam in the water. We had lunch at the cottage.
We were at the cottage for the whole day. Half Term was nice. I like being at Sakeji School.

OUR TRIP TO SAKUFOLA SCHOOL
On Tuesday, May 17, we went to Saufola School. We went there to show God's love to the grade seven
students. We each had made a package which consisted of a verse, pens, pencils, erasers, crayons, and
notebooks. I had fun making the package and giving it out. It was nice to see the students' faces when we
gave them the packages. I think they were happy. The walking was kind of easy. We had each made two
packages, so we had some leftover. We gave them out while walking back. I had fun!

We went to Sakufola School. We carried the books, rubbers, pens and pencils that were for the grade
sevens. When we gave them all the things, they thanked us. We talked to them about love. Then we came back
to Sakeji School.

THE RED FOX-ILLUSTRATIONS FROM A CHARACTER QUALITY STORY ON DISCRETION
The red fox reminds me of discretion because it turned down the invitation to do what was wrong. He did
not chose the cows which would have been fun. He just moved quietly, wisely mixing his scent with theirs.
The fox also reminds me of discretion because he never made fun or laughed at the hounds when they couldn't
find him. The fox also showed good manners by not leaving his scent for the hounds who were trying to find
him. These are some examples of discretion.

A JONAH PRAYER
Oh Lord save me! Lord if you just let me out of this fishes belly, I will go to Nineveh, Thank you for
saving me by letting me be swallowed by a fish! Sorry for running away from you. I have now learned that no
one can ever run away from you. If you will just get me out of here alive, I will go to Nineveh to warn the
people. I will never run away again. Amen.

SPORTS DAY
The morning was very cold. I started doing my warm-ups. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the 1000
meter run. I started off at a steady pace with long strides, I was out front. Then I let A.J., Kayla, and
Kunda pass me by about 10 meters when we reached the end of the air strip. I started gaining on Kayla. When
we reached Miss Hoyte's house I managed to pass her. Then I tried Kunda, but it was too close to the finish
line. I was on the podium! Third out of the whole school. That race really warmed me up for the rest of
Sports Day, although there was one race where I hurt my knee quite badly.

On Monday, July 4th we had sports, races, and activities and fun! We had a dress up race. Mr. Ronald was
the sports owner. We had running races. We had a ball toss. We did high jump. We had relay races.
Have you ever felt like your tummy was tied in knots? Have you ever tried to get something off your mind
and you couldn't? Have you ever sat down to think of what's going to happen if I ... ? Have you ever
worried about what's going to happen tomorrow, Well if you have, then we're buddies! It was Sports Day and
I was scared, But you know, God had it all planned out. Sports Day was actually fun! I don't know why I
went through all that worrying. I just had to let God take care of it.

THE MAID'S SONG
This mighty Man of whom I sing,
The greatest of them all,
Was once a tiny little thing,
Just 18 inches tall.
I knew Him as a tiny tot.
I nursed Him on my knee.
I used to sit Him on the pot,
And wait for Him to wee.
I always washed between His toes,
And cut His little nails.
I brushed His hair and wiped His nose,
And weighed Him on the scales.
