The Third Sunday of Lent

I had to read the Gospel and then 

show that I understood 

it by answering these questions.

( The Third Sunday of Lent ) 

*****************

Think about the conversation between 

Jesus and the woman.

What is the water that Jesus talked about?

Jesus was talking about the water of Eternal Life.  That if you drink it, you will never become thirsty again.

Why was the woman reluctant to give Jesus water?

Because Jesus was a Jew, and she was a Samaritan.  And Samaritans & Jews are meant to have nothing to do with each other.

Why was the woman shocked in what Jesus said to her?

Because the water of eternal life is unbelievable, and so it had shocked the women.

My Soul Friend

A soul friend is someone I can support, help and even motivate.  It’s a person that I can connect to and speak to and give advice to.  It’s someone that is by your side 24/7.  It’s someone that listens to you.  A soul friend is someone that you’ll have to get to know properly.  My soul friend is Mei and this is all what I know about her.

************************************

Mei is my Soul Friend.  Her ethnicity is Fijian, She’s kind of shy, but then in the end she comes around.  She loves helping with things and getting involved with different things.

Mei has a lot of favourite things.  She has a favourite : Movie, Game, Teacher, Food, Book, Subject, Programme, Colour and many more.  She is 7 years of age and is year 4 in room 3.  Her birthday is on Sunday the 23rd of March this year.

Her favourite movie is Smurfs 2,  she says that movie is hilarious.  She loves Tiggy, and thats why it’s her favourite game.  She loves Apples and McDonald's,  apples is her favourite fruit and McDonald's is Mei’s favourite food.

We have spoken about her favourite subject in learning,  she has told me that she is really good at writing and that writing is her favourite subject.  She has also told me that she loves the colour Green, her favourite friend is Fiapo and her favourite singer is Katy Perry.  

Mei also loves watching Austin & Ally,  her favourite book is David goes to school.  

Mei’s favourite drink is Apple Juice and her inspiration is Mrs Pole.  Mrs Pole is also Mei’s favourite teacher.

Mei is a very bright person,  I like everything about her.  In facts I really like the facts that we have one thing in common,  what we dislike.  Mei and I both dislike Bullying, and that is something that we have both experienced.   I can’t wait to get to know her more and spend more time with her in the future.

______________________________________________

To whom this may concern,

I have written this letter to inform you about your school.  I am aware that there is a lot of bullying happening throughout the school,  I have attended this school for 3 years now and I am not happy that there is nothing being done about it. I have been mocked,  teased & physically hurt because of who I am, and what I look like.  

I am not happy that my so called class mates have only been great at making people feel down, and not so great about themselves. Instead of helping themselves and doing what’s actually best for them, or is it just that bullying is what its all about. I’m pretty sure its not,  but it’ll be great if something was done about it.  

So every now and then I always reflect back on my day I first started, I was told that this school was the best school out of all the others, and that was told by a teacher.  The thing that confuses me is that our school is meant to be a school of loving and caring people, because its a catholic school.  But that actually doesn’t change the thought of other students minds,  to most students it’s all about negative side to everything.  It’s also about doing what THEY want.  But I get that no one is perfect and that the world isn’t perfect, but that has got nothing to do with this.  So I just wish that in the future this school will improve, and become a better & safer place for everyone.
