Grandparents day

On Friday 24th August 2018 we celebrated Grandparents Mass with our grandparents, family/Whanau and the whole school. We first went to mass to celebrate with Father Bernard Kyle, who blessed our dear Grandparent with a blessing and we sung a special song to them. When mass was finished our PTA team prepared a treat for us. There was lots of sweet and coffee/tea to sip on. By the time the that all the food was finished it was then time to perform some dances for our audience. The groups that performed were the Sheridan Kapa Haka, Choir, folk dancing, Ukulele and Irish Dancing. That was a joyful day that we would always remember. We are blessed to have such special people in our lives.

M&M challenge

Last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we did the M&M challenge. The class got into groups with one leader in each group. Miss Down gave us some M&M’s and we had to count how many we had and next figured how much M&M’s our group had. After we found out how many M&M’s we all had many people realized that some people had a very small amount of M&M’s while others had about 50. The next thing we did was counting how much of red we had then blue then yellow until we had finished all the colors] we had. When we did everything Miss Down told us to share all the M&M’s equally with our group and everyone in the class got 41 M&M’s each! We have put our information on a poster.

Saint Mary Mackillop's Feast Day

Yesterday was the feast day of Saint Mary Mackillop. We started our day attending our parish mass to celebrate her feast day as a whole community.  All the students came back from mass to continue the celebrations by joining our buddy class. Room 4 and 6 together came together to work on paper dolls of ourselves.  We know St Mary of the Cross always supported and helped all the children in need. We made a large St Mary MacKillop and we placed all out paper dolls of ourselves around her. Then we were all very lucky to receive a free sausage sizzle from the PTA to continue the celebrations at lunch.  In the afternoon we then got to go and play a range of fun games with our buddy class. This was such a fun day working along each other but most of all having fun. Happy Saint Mary MacKillop Feast Day.
