Our Baptism

FRIDAY: Its time to go to the temple. We get dressed and tie our turbans. We arrive at the temple and pray. We come out and have something to eat and something to drink. We meet our friends that are getting baptized  They were so excited like us. when the program was ended we went to our homes. We get our 5 Ks (symbols) ready and our clothes ready.

SATURDAY: We get up and do prayer at 5 am. Its 11 o’clock and we have a shower. We go to the `temple and we all pray for a hour. Its 1 o’clock now and we all gather up. We walk to the room to get baptized in. The 5 Singhs did the 5 prayers. After those 5 prayer the 5 Singhs told us what to do everyday. When we had been baptized we walked out to the Temple. People were so happy and proud of us. At the temple we listened to some of the readings from a special priest that came the U.K. After that we. After that every kid who got baptized got a trophy and the adults got special  blessing by the special priest that came. After the readings we had our photos taken and we had our dinner. For dinner we had Curry, desert and naan bread.

Everyone  was saying congrats to us and our parents.

Rippa Rugby

Recently, most of Room 10 have been involved with playing in the Hastings Rippa Rugby competitions. Some of us were in the Year 7-8 competition winning C team. Our B team were 2nd and our A team were 5th. Here is footage of some of us playing. 

Camp Waitomo

My highlight at camp was going in the wet and humongous caves. The reason why I liked these cave was because we could get wet, muddy and splash each other. The other thing I liked about those caves was when we were right in the middle of the cave. We ate some cookies and had hot Raro. It gave me some energy to finish the cave. When we were coming out I got muddy, dirty and smelly because we had to past a swamp! It was great because I love getting dirty! It had wooden planks to walk past it. I was nearly about to fall off but I managed to save myself. My shoes got very smelly and that was my camp highlight.

Visiting the Hastings Art Gallery

On Wednesday 19th June Room 10 visited the Hastings Public Library. Once we had found some books we went next door to the Art Gallery. We checked out the display celebrating Radio New Zealand. Weta workshops (who are involved with The Hobbit Movies) had made some cool looking radios. Here we are standing beside our favourite designs.
