My Mission Day

On Friday we and our whanau celebrated Mission Day.  On Mission Day we raised $1,003 for the orphans in India.  

First we went to church to celebrate Mission Day.  At church we sang some songs, listened to Father Matthew read from the Bible and prayed to God.  

After church we went to our school's new play area so Father Matthew could bless it.  When the bell rang it was morning tea, and we played while the teachers set up the activities.  

When the next bell rang we could buy stuff and do the activities.  I bought an ice block for $1.  Then I went to Room 6 and bought a chocolate cake.  Then I bought some candy from Sister Evalesi for 20 cents and 50 cents.  

Next I went to Room 8 to have my face painted.  I got a love and hate design painted on my face.  Then I had another face paint.  It was a beautiful butterfly with sprinkles on it.  I loved it!

Later we had lunch time and I had a hot dog.  Then we went back to our classroom and watched a movie while we ate popcorn.

Before saying prayers and going home we went outside to draw the raffles.  There were three food hampers and my brother Siu had bought a ticket, for our dad, to try and win one of the food hampers.  My dad wanted to win the rugby ball but he didn't win.  Maybe we will win a raffle next year.  I hope so!
