Ascension Stories

Dear Mum and Dad,

The most amazing thing happened today. I saw Jesus, he was talking to his disciples. He said to them, “ Go out and baptise people in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” I saw Jesus was going to heaven but Jesus is still with us. We cannot see him, he is in our heart.

Dear Mum and Dad,

The most amazing thing happened to me today. I was walking down the path when I saw Jesus and his disciples. I quickly hid in the bush. Then I heard him say, “Go out and baptise people in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” I kept watching until a big white fluffy cloud appeared out of nowhere. I thought to myself he is rising and going to heaven. I went over and said bye Jesus. “He’s going to heaven,” I said to his disciples. He’s going to see his father in heaven. “Wow,” they said. "But don’t worry, he’s going to rise again soon." What an extraordinary day!!!

Dear Mum and Dad,

The most interesting thing happened to me today. It was surprising to see Jesus and his disciples in a circle having a meal and talking together. Then out of nowhere came a big fluffy white cloud. It hid Jesus from the disciples. He went up to his Father in heaven. Then after Jesus had disappeared, two angels appeared to the disciples and said, “Go and baptise others in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Where's Wooliam?

This afternoon, we had a special guest who came to our school assembly. His name was "Wooliam" and he is the official Fifa Under-20 Football World Cup mascot. He told us about the four games that are to be played at the Northland Events Centre in the next month. The games for these games are: 30th May, 2nd June, 7th June and the 11th of June. The five teams include Myanmar, USA, Fiji, Uzbekistan and the Ukraine. All of these teams are scheduled to play against each other at the Northland Events Centre. Wooliam said that he was from the a high-country sheep farm in Otago and was feeling pretty warm in Northland. He also said that he had been looking forward to the tourney since he was just a wee lamb. Wooliam gave out several prizes to children who answered some football questions.
