Year: 2023

In this comic strip, Captain Kukiz faces off against none other than the SWAMP THING. Eventually, Cap’n K smashes the Swamp Thing’s face and wins.

This week I created a Superhero for the Manaiakalani Summer Learning Journey this year. I had the choice of using an Online Drawing Tool, or copy my wordlist onto an AI app. I took the latter option and copied my description into an AI app. The result came out excellent.

What would God say to me in 3 words if the writing was on the wall.

Body odour fills the air. It’s so hot in here, and pungent too. I fail to fall asleep, thanks to the sound of wailing. I look around. A lot of people are sleeping, and very few are still awake. When are we going to get out of here? Is it night now? I wish I could tell the time, I think to myself. Instead of breathing through my nose, I try breathing through my mouth. My mum told me to stay here and not go anywhere. That has been difficult. I guess I have to stay here for now. I don’t know where mum is. I have some space to move, but I can’t make noise or someone will wake up. My body is drenched in sweat, and it is getting harder to breathe. I will keep waiting until my mum comes, whenever that is.

Dear Rico,

Hey. Hope you’ve been alright. Thanks for writing to me. You’re right, it is the first time in years since I’ve heard from you. The advice you gave me in your letter really helped me. I still get annoyed when they argue at night though. You know Michael and lisa, right? Our half-siblings, they’re helping me. I’ve been to some shelters and even slept at my friend’s Darren’s house, when dad gets drunk. To be honest, I still feel like I’m on a boat and going around in circles, not gaining anything, only losing what is so cose to me. Wish Grandma was here, she would understand. Rico, I aslo wish you were

It was a sad rainy day today but we were all thrilled and excited for what was yet to come. At 9:30 am we went down to the Due Drop Events Centre in Manukau and waited outside the theatre. To kill the time, my friends and I played a game called “So Makalo”, and most of St Patrick’s students ended up joining in and playing. About 30 minutes later, we went inside the theatre and were shown our seats.  The theatre was massive, it was everything I thought it would look like. It had a big red curtain, with so many seats. Anyways, the show started with a RNZB (Royal New Zealand Ballet) employee explaining the rules and what was going to be performed. There was no photography or filming permitted. There were three pieces of the show, showing examples of Classical Ballet which has been around since the 17th century and Contemporary Ballet, which grew popular in the 1980’s. The performers were very unique and showed the story in their movements and their expressions. It took about an hour until it finished, and we were all stoked about our experience, because for most of us it was our first time in the theatre, especially the little ones. I think they had a great experience. What surprised me is how the dancers could stand on their toes, and I surprisingly learned the difference between Classic and Contemporary ballet. I never knew what Contemporary Ballet was, which also surprised me. Anyways, I had a great time, learning about ballet and having fun.

The Sacrament of Marriage is a vocation/commitment that one makes, devoting their life and their love to their spouse to serve them, care for them. One the things we learned about is the cycle of Marriage, and we were tasked with creating an example of a Marriage cycle.

The Body of Christ is our Family and friends coming together as one people and worshipping God.
