Saint Joseph's Day Tabloids Sports

Tuesday 19th March was St Joseph’s Day Feast Day. The whole school attended mass to celebrate the leadership Saint Joseph showed. Saint Joseph is also special to our school because Saint MacKillop and the Sisters of St Joseph were inspired by Saint Joseph. Saint Joseph is also the foster father of Jesus. The following day, the whole school came together to celebrate with fun tabloid sports in our houses. We all got to play so many fun and exciting games. Thank you to our leaders who prepared this.

Ash wednesday

Ash Wednesday

Today was Ash Wednesday. We went to church and sang some hymns, got the ashes on our foreheads, sung happy birthday to a little girl starting school on her birthday! We then went up and got a blessing.
We did make an attempt to keep our ashes on our foreheads, but that was a fail due to swimming and itching it off. We had a good day and hope everyone else did to. 

Shrove Tuesday

Tuesday was Shrove Tuesday. We all had a great day in room 6. The festivities started with the burning of the ashes on the turf. This was a new and exciting experience that not many of us had seen before.
Later on during Religious Education we learnt more about Shrove Tuesday and Lent. People used to get rid of all their luxury items such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs and milk by making pancakes. We were even able to enjoy some pancakes of our own. We all thought it was a great start to lent and we are looking forward to the lenten season as we prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are the season of Lent and it is a time of preparation. 

The Scooter and the Trolley

The Scooter and the Trolley

By Eli

I am learning to entertain my reader with a recount.

Have you ever had the confidence to do a really scary trick? Well I have. This had all happened at May Road, I was scooting around like normal watching my cousin doing the half pipe oh how I wish I could do it.

Then the next minute I was going, I was up there, I was going to do the half pipe then whoosh! I went then suddenly there were these silly kids that hit me with a trolley. As I was going down the half pipe they pushed the trolley into me and it ran over my foot. It was horrendous and really hurt.

Next thing I am in the back seat, while my mum is rushing me to the Accident and Emergency room with me crying in the back seat. I saw the doctor and the only thing he said was ¨oh.” I was thinking am I gonna get a cast am I gonna get a moon boot but no I got crutches. 

The next day was school time and the crutches were killing me they were so annoying they hurt my hands and my arms were sore.

In the end I did the trick and ended up with a fractured leg that really hurt.
