Grandparents Mass

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, okulele and Irish Dancing. That was a joyful day that we would always remember. We are blessed to have such special people in our lives.

Online Profile

In our digital lessons we have been learning what is private and public information.  We have created a personal profile for our blogs using this new knowledge. On our blogs there are people we know, and people we don’t know, who can view our profiles. We decided to share personal information that we wanted to share about ourselves.  Making sure we didn’t share information that was not for public use.

St Mary Mackillop 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.
