Saint Patrick's Day

On Friday it was Saint Patrick's Day.  This meant that it was our school's feast day.  Our school is called Saint Patrick's School.  We had a very busy day on Friday.  

First we went to church.  At church we knelt and prayed to God.  Father Michael took the mass, and we listened to him and sang songs to God and Jesus.  

After Mass we went back to school and had morning tea. After morning tea we all sat outside the library while Miss Bullot put us into our teams.  We played games and did activities in our teams.  

The first game we played was to make Irish book marks. Then the bell rang and we went to Mrs Twomy outside.  We played the crab walk and the spider walk game.  It was fun.  We also made planes for the Irish Airways and played steal the emerald and the gold.

When we had finished playing our games and doing the activities we all went under the tree, and Miss Bullot gave us ice blocks.  Later we had lunch and played.  It was a fantastic day!

Going to the Restaurant

On the weekend my family and I went to the pool but it was closed.  Instead we went to a restaurant in the city.  At the restaurant I ordered a teriaki chicken.  We had to wait a while before the food arrived.  While we waited we prayed and then talked to each other.  The food tasted good and it was worth waiting for.  After we had eaten my dad went to pay for our food and then we walked back to our car.

Whanau Time

In the holidays I celebrated my sister's birthday.  My sister's name is Micaela.  We  went to a Korean restaurant to celebrate. At the restaurant Micaela had a birthday cake with candles on it.  She blew the candles out and we all ate a piece of cake.  After that my sister opened her birthday presents.  She was happy.  

Then we went home.  When we got home we ate some more birthday cake.  It was a long day but we had fun.

Chocolates are not good for you. They are full of sugar. Chocolates are bad for your teeth.

Religious Education: Meditation

In Room 2 I am learning how to do meditation. I can do meditation when I sit and stay still, close my eyes, breathe gently and place my hands on my lap.

Meditation helps me to listen and stay focused.

Road Safety Certificate

This is my School Road Safety Certificate. It was given to me by Constable Cyrus for passing my road safety drill.

Playing Golf

Room 2 students learned to play golf at school. We walked like a bear. We jumped like a kangaroo. Then we learned how to hit the ball. I hit the ball with the golf club. It was fun.
