The joyfull Mysterys

The Annunciation

I was in my room, the dark brown walls surrounding me. I was there, when the angel appeared, as the flame on my candle blew itself out. The angel spoke to me with his wings, white as the moonlight said” Greetings Mary, the favored one!” The lord is with you” I was confused and scared. I thought what sort of greeting was this?. Then the angel spoke again “Do not be afraid” for God is with you, you will have a baby called Jesus”. I pondered for a bit as the wind flowed unto my face. I took a quick nod and the angel departed.

The Visitation

There I was standing looking at Elizabeth's full of joy! She looked at me and as I was about to step forward, the sand dust on my feet tickled me. My heart pounded and the baby in my womb jumped as if he is a joyful angel. She smiled at me as the hay wooshed past me. The Next thing I knew was a soft hug from Elizabeth. She said “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb”. For a moment there I felt the presence of Elizabeth’s womb, and we smiled.

The Nativity

In the manger, under the stable my baby boy lies down on the soft hay that is as brown as his beautiful skin. His face gives a little gentle smile as I hear the soft breeze

whistling. As the animals sing their little tune, I was in the presence of the Lord.My heart is full of joy and as I look out the window and see the starts shining in the night sky. Joseph smiles, and I smile too.

The Presentation

We were there at the temple and I saw a man called Simeon. As he was about to hold the baby Jesus in his hands, I saw 3 wise men at the back of Simeon. There holds 3 chests that were as lovely as the flowers. The baby smiled and giggled as the chests open. The Gold rich one was finding its way into the open to see the baby Jesus. I felt if he was a very special person. The silver metal one was as grey as the moon light. The last chest with myr was brown as if he was related to Jesus’ beautiful skin.

The finding of Jesus

The panic in my heart stopped when I saw Jesus preaching in the temple. The look of the Rabbi's faces were focused on my son.

The wind slowed down as I said “ Jesus! Why are you treating us like that? We have been looking for you”.

Jesus replied as if time stood still.

He said “ Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know I had to stay in my father's house?”

My heart surged as I was overcome with the knowledge that Jesus was the Son of God.

Orangutans

Endangered Orangutans

Orangutans live in natural forests that are in Sumatra, Borneo, Malaysia and Indonesia. 100 years ago there used to be around 315,000 Orangutans, today there are about only 6,600 left. Why? Its because of palm oil. Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil that grows on trees in the rainforest.

Lipstick, shampoo, cookies, diesel and chocolates have palm oil in them. People like you can help by not buying those products and tell the company to stop using palm oil.

Science showcase

Science showcase

Yesterday we did our Science showcase that means that all classrooms,1,2, 3, 4, 5 and 6  had to put experiments on the tables and when the bell rang we moved to each classroom like in a circle.

I loved it because it was fun looking at other peoples experiments and because I learnt something about it in Rm 4.

What I found that was interesting was In Rm 4 about tea. One cup of tea was yellow and the other was black or brown and i did not know that the yellow cup was cold and the other was hot because of the color.

I learnt that if you have a hot bowl of water and a cold one and if you put coloring in both,put your hands in both of the bowls and theres a bowl in the middle when you put your hands in the middle bowl you feel the difference of hot and cold! Try it at home.

I would love to do this Science showcase next time because Science is awesome!!
