Have you seen the movie 'Our Lady of Fatima?' By Leolupe

Wow! I never knew that the movie 'Our lady of Fatima' could be so interesting! On Sunday the 7th of May, my cousins Eti, Anastacia, Joyla, my uncle and I went to the St. Patrick's parish to watch a movie with the parish community.

Before we left, my aunt asked me to hang out the washing. I grabbed the basket with the wet clothes and a bag with the clothes pegs in. Then I went out and walked out to the backyard. When I was hanging out the washing, something came and rubbed its head against my leg, so I bent down and pushed it away.

After hanging out the clothes, we all grabbed our jackets and ran out the door with socks and shoes in our hands. We listened to the music on our way to the parish. When we arrived at the parish, we walked to Room 9 because that was where the movie was taking place. We waited for our friends Peter, Kylie, Asia, Emanuel, Frances, Peter, Shanice and Star to come so we could all go in together.

When we walked in, Father Andrew gave each of us a plastic plate so that we can walk to the food table to choose some food to eat. I got a hot dog on a stick, Macaroni and cheese and chips. After a while, Eti, my cousin Petra, my friend Hope and I walked to the front and we went to the left side and sat on the floor. We watched Our Lady of Fatima. The movie was very interesting because it was very different from the movies that I have seen before before.

Afterwards, I walked outside with Emma and her son Michael. After a little while, Father called us inside so we could all gather together to pray together. After the prayer, Father gave each family a plate of food to take home. We got a big plate of hot dogs, cocktail sausages, Biscuits and a cup of juice for each of us. We said our goodbyes to our lovely friends and drove back home. Eti and I ate a little bit of food and then we went straight to sleep because we were feeling really tired.

My favourite part of the day was when we watched 'Our Lady of Fatima' because it was very funny and interesting.

Aww! The cat was so cute! By Leolupe

On Friday the 24th of February, I walked to the shop to buy my brother and I something to eat because we were hungry.

On my way to the shops, I bumped into my old best friend from kindergarten. When I arrived at the store, I bought each of us a drink and walked to my house, I bought tropical punch drinks for me and my brother.

When I got home, I gave Ck his tropical punch drink. Then I went outside to help my neighbours to get their cat out of our rose because it got stuck in the bush. I had to watch out for the thorns in the rose bush.

After a while, my neighbours screamed in terror, because their cat jumped out and scared them. The cat scrambled into a bucket, so I finally got the chance to pick up the cat and return him to the owner. The cat curled up against my chest.The cat was 2 years old and it was black and white.My neighbors said thank you and walked back home with their cat.

After a while, my mother called me to go with her to get some groceries because we literally had nothing to eat. My mum drove me to the Pak n Save in Mangere. It's our local grocery store. We slowly walked around every aisle hoping to jog our memory because we were too lazy to make a grocery list.

After a whole hour, my mother and I left the store with eight bags full of groceries. When we got home, I lifted all the bags into the house. My brother and sister had to sort out the groceries because they didn't help us to make the purchases.

Eventually, my dad came home from the gym and took a 20 minute shower. I took a shower right after my dad. Then I dried myself and got changed into a comfortable onesie. After that, I caught up on Jake Paul's vlogs because I have been missing out on four days of vlogs. When the clock struck 10 o'clock, i fell asleep because I was very tired.

Then my dog snuggled up with me on the couch. I had a very comfortable sleep because my dog's fur was very soft, but my dog kept kicking me so I pushed him to his bed on the floor and covered him with a blanket. I had a very busy day from school, to the shop, saving a cat and going grocery shopping.

My favourite part of the day was when I reunited with my friends from kindergarten because I couldn't believe how big they have grown.
