Our 175 year Jubilee

On Friday when I woke up my Mum reminded me about St Patrick’s Jubilee for 175 years. So my siblings and I were getting ready and then our Mum dropped us off at school. Then we went to our classes followed by walking up to mass. After that Ms Kyle said that we could read or we could draw because it was nearly morning tea. I was about to read but….. RING! RING! RING!!!!!!! The bell rang and I was shocked. So I put my book down and I got my snack and went outside. 

After morning tea, all of the students came out to the canopy so Mrs Bullot could call out the teams which were all Irish names. My team’s name was Apricots. After that we rotated between all the teachers who had prepared different games for us to play. 

Then the next day was another celebration at school. My family was too busy to come but I could only come at the end.

On Sunday we all got ready for the big day. I was excited. We went to mass and the Tongans, Samoans and Filipinos had prepared amazing rituals and it was so amazing. After that we went to  the hall so we could sing and entertain the guests as a school and different ethnic communities. There was a delicious lunch too. Happy 175 years, St Patrick’s School and Parish. 

 

 

 

We are learning to learn how to use a touch pad

In the morning at 9.00  Mrs Grant showed us how to use a touchpad  properly and to do shortcuts on a keyboard   or a chromebook.  Then she did some slides for us to do and there was one for the years 4  and one for the year 5   but  Mrs Grant said some of the year 5’s can do the Year 4’s task too. So me and Tuakalau picked the first one. Then we needed to write a blog about our learning. And I can’t wait for Mrs Grant to come again. Here is a picture of the slide that me and Tuakalau  did:
