Christmas is Christ entering our world
Advent is expectant waiting, hopeful anticipation and joyful preparation for GOD coming into our lives and hearts in all moments, all places, all times: PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE.

My Marvellous Clock
Kia ora,
The Hour hand & minute hand. - The Hour hand is the shorter hand (arrow) & the minute hand is the longer one if the hour hand was pointing slightly past the 4 and the hour hand was pointing to the 11 it would be 11:21.
How the clock ticks - When the minute hand reaches every number it passes 5 minutes, each time the minute hand passes an entire circle it would be on hour and also makes the hour hand move.
The face - The face is the round part of the clock, it is only shaped in a circle & has Numbers all around that help tell the time.

Terrific Tips To Survive A Terrifying Storm!!
If your outdoors:
Keep an eye at the sky. Look for darkening skies, flashes of lightning, or increasing winds. Lightning often proceeds rain, so don’t wait for the rain to begin. If you hear the sound of thunder, go to a safe place immediately.
The best place to go is a sturdy building or a car, but make sure the windows in the car are shut. Avoid sheds, picnic areas, baseball dugouts and bleachers.
If there is no shelter around you, stay away from trees. Crouch down in the open area, keeping twice as far away from a tree as far as it is tall. Put your feet together and place your hands over your ears to minimize hearing damage from thunder.
If you’re with a group of people stay about 15 feet from each other.
Stay out of water. It’s a great conductor of electricity. Swimming, wading, snorkeling and scuba diving are not safe. Also, don’t stand in puddles.
Avoid metal. Stay away from clotheslines, fences, and drop your backpacks because they often have metal on them.
If you’re playing an outdoor activity, wait at least 30 minutes after the last observed lightning strike or thunder.
If your outdoors:
Avoid water. It’s a great conductor of electricity, so do not take a shower, wash your hands, wash dishes or do laundry.
Do not use a corded telephone. Lightning may strike exterior phone lines.
Do not use electric equipment like computers and appliances during a storm.
Stay away from windows and doors, and stay off porches.
IF SOMEONE IS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING:
Call for help. Call 1-1-1 or send for help immediately.
The injured person does not carry an electrical charge, so it is okay to touch them.
