7 A Side Rugby

On Thursday 26th of March, half of Year 6 boys and girls participated in the rugby league seven a side. All teams played exceptionally well and a Year 6 boys and girls team were successful and have made it to the next carnival. This means we have the opportunity to win the Rod Wishart shield. When Mr Heffernan arrived at the carnival, he was delighted to hear that we had beaten St Therese and The Good Samaritan. Although we're sure all schools had a fantastic day! We're looking forward to the next competition!

Year 6 and Kinder Buddies

Today between recess and lunch Year 6 helped their kinder buddies make a special place for their teddies. Kindergarten used their creativity and imagination to create a special space for their teddy to use. They had to create this special space using place recyclable materials. When our buddies had finished making their space for their teddy, we used our iPads to create a special postcard about their creation. Year 6 enjoyed helping kindergarten create something special for their toys.

Our Baptism

On Sunday 29th of March, we were Baptised at St Columbkille's Catholic Church. This was a very special day as it was also Palm Sunday, and the beginning of Holy Week. We were baptised by Father Richard. Father Richard blessed us with the Holy Water. We both had a wondering day with our families and the church community.

Representing Illawarra for AFL

On Thursday and Friday of last week Jack, Ciaran, Jeremy and I represented Illawarra in AFL. It took a 4 long hours in the car, but we finally made it. When we arrived at the hotel we all decided to have a rest. The next day we went down to the oval and were presented with our representative jerseys. I received the number 12. Our first game was against Sydney. Jack, Jeremy and I made it into the probables and possibles and played to the best of our abilities. Jeremy was selected in the MacKillop team to go to Sydney to play in the MacKillop team.

Friday Fun Day

Today Year 6 went down to Memorial Park for sport. We participated in fun games including soccer, snatch and warm up activities. We then split up into boys and girls, and participated in more fun games. The boys played soccer on the large soccer field and the girls played soccer on the two mini fields. After recess we read the book Chinese Cinderella. Today our class felt sad for Adeline, as this chapter started with an emotional loss and family rejection; yet it made us feel closer to the characters in the text especially Adeline.
