Fear took over her.   Just when Rose wanted to cry and give up, she remembered Mum's earlier words:"Ask for help when needed! You can do it!"   Suddenly, Rose turned brave. She walked into a post office to find her way. There, a kind postman gave her directions to the bakery. Not long, Rose was back home with bread and pride.   Rose now knows one thing.

Once upon a time, there was a family who found their happiness in their strong bond and their shared belief in God's words. The family consisted of a loving husband and wife, who were devoted parents to their children. They knew that together, they could overcome any challenge that came their way.   One day, a mean man came and tried to make the family unhappy. He shouted, ‘I will make your house smaller!’ But the family didn't get scared. They smiled and said, ‘If our house is smaller, we will be closer together, making us even happier!’   The mean man didn't give up. He shouted again, ‘I will take away your food!’ But the family still smiled. They said, ‘If we have less food, we will share what we have. We will take care of each other and be strong together!’   The mean man got angrier and shouted again, ‘I will take away everything that is green!’ But the family remained happy. They said, ‘Even if there is no green, we can mix blue and yellow to make green. We will create our own beauty and be thankful for the simple things.’   The mean man was so mad because the family didn't get upset. He couldn't break their happiness no matter what he tried. He gave up and went away in defeat.   The family members continued to love each other and follow God's teachings. Their love and unity became a light for others to see and follow.   Message A loving and united family, guided by faith and values, can overcome any challenge and find happiness in even the most difficult circumstances.   Bible verse “How good, how delightful it is for all to live together like brothers.” ( Psalm 133:1)   Action Create a family gratitude wall.

學校科技日   今天是大家盼望已久的學校科技日（Stem Day）。一大早，同學們回到學校後，便興致勃勃地討論著，課室又頓時變得熱鬧起來。   早會和早讀時間結束後，我和我的同班同學便跟著老師到六樓的課室，製作水火箭。走進課室，老師就開始詳細地講解水火箭的推進原理和製作方法。接著，我們便分成七個小組，跟著老師的指示，開始了製作水火箭。同學有的在剪紙，有的用膠紙連接火箭，有的在幫其他同學固定火箭，好不忙碌。   鐘聲響起了，小息完結後，水火箭也做好了。老師告訴我們接下來的活動：「等一會兒，我們就會到地下的操場，發射水火箭。」同學一聽見，就不約而同地興奮尖叫！「不過，你們要安靜，我才會帶你們進行活動。」老師說完後，課室一下子便瞬間安靜了下來， 一點聲音也沒有。   到了飯堂後，我們便照著分組的名單安坐好，聆聽另外一位老師講解關於水火箭的「發射」步驟。   一切都準備就緒後，我和其他四年級同學便一組一組，帶著水火箭「試飛」了。終於到我們了，我和組員拿起水火箭，戴上防水眼鏡，讓老師倒進三分之二的水，我們再把水火箭放到發射台，用力地踩打氣管的按鈕。當裝滿三分之二的水的時候，我們一起發施號令「三，二，一，水火箭發射！」我們都期望水火箭飛得愈來愈遠……   當老師宣佈我們的水火箭暫時「飛」得最遠時，組員們興奮地蹦跳呢！同學們不斷把水火箭再一次「試飛」，好不熱鬧。   活動結束後，有些同學雖然已全身濕透，但感到非常愉快。接著，我們到一樓公共空間和課室玩攤位遊戲，在排隊上課室吃飯。   下午，我們便回到座位上閱讀科學圖書和觀看今天的花絮影片。   就這樣，學校一年一度的學校科技日就在一片歡笑聲中結束了，真是幾難忘，又多姿多彩的一天啊！   陳諾妍   聖文德天主教小學   5EL   My Family Members   My dad is as busy as a bee.
