St Patricks Day

Patrick is the name of our Patron Saint. He came from Ireland and he believed in God. On the 17th of March our Parish Church and school celebrated St Patrick’s Day with a range of activities and  a sausage sizzle.

Our whole school went to church before we started our Saint Patrick's day activities. I was chosen to read a scripture at Mass. We sang several songs of praise while there, which gave us the opportunity to share our beautiful, strong voices. After church we went to have morning tea. A short time later, the bell rang and everybody gathered in the front of room 4 and 5.

“Good morning, school” Mrs Bullot called out.

“Good morning Mrs Bullot and teachers,” we responded.

She called out the groups, which were all Irish names. The name of our group was Leprechauns and the leaders of the group were Carlos and I. 

Mrs Dines gave us name tags for each person in our group. All groups were lined up and were ready to go and enjoy activities each of the six teachers at our school had prepared.

The activity that I enjoyed the most was the one Mrs Richardson’s had prepared. Mrs Yummul gave each of us a cardboard that was and a rainbow. We glued the rainbow onto the cardboard. In front of us was a cup full of cotton wool. This was placed as a cloud at the other end of the rainbow. After we finished we waited patiently for Mrs Yummul to add the pot of gold (Which was a small navy blue cup). During each class visit, teachers awarded group points.

After every group had completed the class rotations, the whole school gathered together back in front of room 4 and 5 where we had begun our day. The points were added.  Mrs Bullot informed us that the point were very close. The winnnig team was the Donegals. Mrs Bullot called each of the team leaders and she gave us boxes of ice blocks to share out to all the students.  It was a great treat and neat way to finish. 

It was an amazing day but that day wasn’t about winning it was all about fun.
