Jesse Martin's trip sailing around theworld

Who is Jesse Martin ? Jesse Martin is a 17 year old teenager who dreamed to sail around the world . He dreamed of it when he was 14 and he planned a little too when he was 14 .


He experienced all sorts of weather when he was sailing around the world. Jesse’s boat had a few knock downs and storms .His boats name was Loin Heart . He was also frustrated by the lack of wind . He wanted to get home quickly but he couldn't because there was not enough
wind.


Jesse’s Mother got on a boat and went all the way where her son was . They were so happy to see each other but she couldn't hop on the boat and have a chat . Guess what ? They only talked for 45 minutes .


When Jesse arrived , there were people on boats , airplanes and lots of people to congratulate Jesse Martin .His Mother was so happy to see him . All of the people could not believe it , he came back safe .


I think Jesse Martin is great because he is brave and has willpower . He made his dream come true and he achieved his goal by not giving up .

The Young Queen

Immersion Assemblies

What are Immersion assemblies? Immersion assemblies are when teachers dress up related to our new topic. It doesn’t happen in every school but it does happen here at Pt England School.

One of my favourite Immersion assemblies was Around the world in 80 days. It was my favourite because I learnt a lot about some other countries and I acted in a show about England’s queen.

I think Pt England school has the best Immersion assemblies because teachers act funny and they share some good facts.

Fasting

What is fasting ? Fasting is when all the Muslim people do not eat or drink during the day. They break the fast when it is a little dark,then they pray five times first three then two. (Muslims prayers are different than other people.) How do they know when Ramadan is over you ask ? They know when it's over when they see the new moon , that's when the festival begins. Guess what? On the first day of Eid children get lot's of money, pretty cool. The lady's also put some henna on their hands. They make beautiful patterns. What is henna? Henna is made out of henna leaves. Fasting is very hard but once you get used to it , it's very easy.

These are henna leaves.

This is Hajj. One of the biggest mosqe.Musilm from all the world come here to pray to god. This is a girl with henna on her hands.

This is a praying mat.
