Today on the 16/10/2026 Father Pui the national Pontifical Mission NZ Rep, Father Pui told us about his visits to the pope in Rome and How he’s met Pope Leo the 14th twice and Pope Francis once. Father Pui helped make the missio NZ box challenge and said that he would love for us to help because there’s always someone doing worse and this money helps them get on track at school and at life.

He talked to us about what Pontifical Mission NZ Rep meant

What it means – an official or regional director acting on behalf of Missio NZ

He talked to us about what words meant and how catholic means universal and every catholic church will welcome you and greet you as an equal. When he was done chatting about his life ,who he is and what things mean we all stood up and took a photo with the cut out of the pope all together.

It was a great time having him come, I hope he comes back sometime because he taught me alot.

Earlier today we had Father Pui come talk to my class. He talked about derelict schools and how the don’t get all the resources they need and deserve. One of the schools he talked about was a school in the Philippines St Therese learning school – old sagay.  this school sadly has students that can’t afford school supplies, basic needs, and much more. Their school is also falling apart bit by bit.

A few more cool facts about him is he met Pope Leo XIV 2 times! And he also got a handwritten letter from Pope Francis right before he passed away, saying that he is gonna become the leader of the society!

Here is a photo of us with Father Pui and the cut out of Pope Leo XIV

Have you ever met Father Pui?

Today I made a fact or fib slideshow. Try it out and test if the links are correct!

Today, we had Grayhm and Katy come to visit us! Katy works at the art centre and Grayhm works as  scientist. They showed us some really cool things! Like gravity he had a ball and  a leaf blower. He picked up the leaf blower up  and putted the ball on top of the leaf blower and then boom it was right on top of the leaf blower  with the air force lifting it up! Here are  some photos!!

You will NOT believe what we did today! We saw the SCIENCE ROAD SHOW! An amazing science program that you can actually do out of school too. The people doing it were Katy and Graham.  Here are the things we did! First we learnt about the 1 string violin, he used a powder and slid his fingers down the pole which created a high pitched sound. Next was learning to create the atom Carbon. Carbon includes electrons, neutrons and protons. After that we watched a short video about the art centre and what it was before. I can’t fully remember in order but I know we did SO MUCH FUN STUFF!!! We did a lot of fun activities to do with liquid nitrogen after that, but my favourite one was the cloud shooter thingy. And at the end, Mr. Gray lay on a bed of nails that sent jitters down everyone’s back. He said it felt nice though. Here are some photos of room 2 and my creation! What is your favourite science activity to do?

Thank you to the Science Roadshow Group!!!

This week we have been doing fact or fib about are school holidays .

Here is my fact or fib .

I saw the Science Roadshow!

There was a hot air balloon and when the hot air is lighter  It goes up.

Graham made a ball with holes in it float with the leaf blower there from the Art Centre!

My favourite thing I saw was… when Graham  made some clouds that looked like a circle was so fluffy We got to get pens I got purple so did Violet I

Miss Kenny went on a bed of nails it did not really hurt and guess what Miss Kenny chose me to

to stand on a piece of wood

  I had to stand on a piece of wood that was on Miss Kenny.

It was, so scary

Science Roadshow comes on every year with something new to learn.

Today We went to see a science roadshow at our school the mans name is Grahms he made clouds there was a hot air balloon The hot air balloon is lighter  then miss kenny went on this bed of nails it didnt really hurt then miss kenny choosed Zoe to go on this wood that looks like a surf board then Zoe stepped  on it then they putted Zoe and the surfboard  on miss kenny’s tummy My favourite was when Grahms made clouds out of  this leaf blower and it went on the ground it was cold the shape out of the cloud was a circle it was soo puffy!

Today, your favourite Room 9 had a science roadshow, not actually ON the road and there’s a science show while you on the road! It’s just different experiments of science like a roadshow, and it was very cool!                                                    We had two people showing us the experiments to us and they are called….. Graham and Katy from Art Centre! Some of the experiments we had was…. Making a atom with some materials. A metal instrument. A Nitrogen cloud which was kinda cooling. Liquid Nitrogen that fell on the floor! Balloon shrivelled up in liquid Nitrogen, it looked like a person with a funny face. Hot air balloon. Gravity leaf blower. Magnet rail gun. And one of my favourite a nail bed where our teacher Mr Gray had to lay down on it!

It was really funny, and Mr Grey looked like he was holding on to the side of the bed for life! Also the people who were giving us the science roadshow were very good with interacting and definitely extroverts, they had loud and clear voices when showing science and they were real nice to us! Also if you have seen science experiments before comment what the experiment was about! My fav one is a balloon shrivelling up in Liquid Nitrogen, and also this experiment was really funny, it was when there was a nail bed it looked REAL sharp and my teacher had to lay down on it and he was holding the side for dear life!

Today, we had Father Pui come to visit us and talk about his adventure.  He said he has meet the pope Leo 3 times!! He also talked about  how he went to the Philippines and went to this school  it had cracks everywhere on the building, at the back it was half gone from the top he showed us photos and a video. It made me think that we have food water a roof over our heads and lots of those kids  have no food and have to still go to school. It was  really interesting. Thank you Father Pui for coming. Here is a photo of all of us!
