Underneath the icy water was some rocks below and she became crippled and partly blind. Because of this event and her disabled brother, Louis dying she then developed a sorrow for people who are disabled. 

When Suzanne was legally aloud to leave home at 25 she sailed to New Zealand to become a missionary for Bishop Pompallier. 

After working at a Maori boarding school, she left Auckland to work at the Marist Maori mission station in Hawkes Bay. After a month or two she was well known to Maori and Pakeha, friendship became a strategy for her mission. 

In 1874 Suzanne was setting her hopes high with her lifelong supporter Bishop Redwood. She left Hawkes Bay for Jerusalem, New Zealand to revive the catholic mission.

Capital E

On the 24th to the 26th, the year eights went to Wellington. We stayed there for two nights. First night was at the Wellington Zoo and on the second night we stayed at Wellington Hostel.

We went to Capital E a little bit late. It is a recording studio. The woman told us a little about all the gear. There were Cameras, Green Screens and a Sound Booth. In my set Charlotte was floor manager and Jennah was director. I was a political forecaster and Axl and Trin were presenters.

As soon as she said we could explore I saw the cameras and I was stunned to see like 7 thousand dollars in front of me. I went into the sound booth, I thought this is the real One News! She said we could dress up so I found a nice jacket.

Jennah, Charlotte and Corina could say when their roles are coming up so we could get ready.

After the first practice we could watch it and fix up our mistakes. It was fun re watching what we did while we were laughing. I was on camera for about 30 seconds before talking.

Now after we watched it everyone had mistakes to fix up. The second set was the one which would go on YouTube. After we finished we watched the video and it went much better. 

After watching the video, I would recommend you go to Capital E if you liked talking and performing on camera. 

If you want to see the video here is the link!

Jesus rose from the dead

 

Jesus Rose From The Dead

White Hat/Blue Hat

On the Sunday, Jesus rose from the dead. We know this because an angel came and told Mary that Jesus was alive. They looked in the tomb and saw the rock had been moved. The angel told Mary to tell the disciples that Jesus was alive. Jesus rose from the dead because he was the Son of God. 

Yellow Hat

The positive parts of this story are, Jesus was alive and the disciples could see his friend again. It also proved that he was the son of god.

Black Hat

The negative parts of this story was that Jesus died on the cross and people started to laugh at him. The people did not believe that he was the Son of God.

Red Hat

What emotion would you feel? I feel happy that Jesus rose from the dead and could continue to help and serve others.

Green Hat

The disciples could write a letter to inform everyone in Jerusalem that Jesus was alive. They could also knock on peoples doors and tell them the good news.

Did you know this story?
