I believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!


Prayer: 
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, 
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,  
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven 
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

May you be the one to inspire and guide our decisions
Because only you, together with God the Father and his son
Who have a holy and glorious name,
You who love order and peace,
Do not let righteousness be harmed by us,
May ignorance not cause us to stray from the right path,
Any affection for others not give rise to favouritism on our part
May neither titles nor people influence us,
Keep us close to you through the gift of your grace,
So that we may be one in you and that we may not draw away from the truth in any matter.
Grant that, gathered together in your holy name,
We may be able to combine goodness with firmness as to do all things in harmony with you.
In the hope that we shall earn, through the faithful fulfillment of our duties, eternal happiness in the future.
Amen.

Mmm....that orange was so juicy!

On Sunday, my dad and I went for a walk around Panmure. The weather was cloudy and it 5 o'clock at night. We went for a walk so we could build up our fitness level and have some fresh air. 

First we walked on Benghazi Rd. It was full of different schools and houses. There was Sommerville special school and Tamaki Primary. 

Then we walked around the Dunkirk field. We walked past the deep blue ocean and it was very beautiful. I saw a fish that jumped out of the ocean. It was really cool! I also felt butterflies in my stomach because I did not want to fall in.

Later on, we walked down Tripoli Rd and there were lots of cars and I tried not to breathe in the gas because I knew it was bad for me. I also saw some flowers and leaves and I couldn't stop looking at them. So my dad told me to pull up my socks and keep up the pace because it was getting dark. 

Finally we made it to Benghazi Rd where our car was. We stopped at my nana's house to say, "Hello!" I ate an orange and drank some cold, refreshing water to cool myself down. 

After a while, we went back home. I went straight to sleep because I was as tired as a sloth. I had a great time with my dad. My favourite part was looking at the flowers because they were so beautiful and colourful. 

Learning Intention: We are learning to understand and use descriptive language in our writing. 
Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I use similes and metaphors to describe the day I went for a walk with my dad in Panmure.
