For Mary Mackillop’s Feast Day my class and I made Mary Mackillop flowers. We used pastels, crayons and some felts for our background. Mary Mackillop was the founder and maker of our school which makes her very special to Good Shepherd School. I used six words to describe her. Mary Mackillop was Kind, Loving, Caring, The founder of our school, Helpful and last but not least she was honest. Thank you Mary Mackillop for all you have done for us.
On Friday, 24 August it was Grandparents’ Day! Grandparents’ Day is a day when we celebrate our grandparents and show how thankful we are to have them. Lots of grandparents came on that day and had a great time. There were lots of food and drinks. There was a sausage sizzle and I had one with my friend. There were performances like kapa haka, Irish dancing and choir. At the end all of Good shepherd school went back to their classrooms with their grandparents and showed them their art work.
Sister Mina is my dad’s great aunty and my great grandma’s sister. She is celebrating her 50th anniversary for being a nun. There were four nuns celebrating their 50th anniversary. There was a Mass me and my family needed to attend. We made it but we were late. After the Mass had ended, we had some lunch. There was some potato salad, cake, fruit, prawns and there were some hot and cold beverages. I had a great time at sister Mina’s jubilee and I hope she did to.
It was my turn to go up and present my speech. I was terrified! When I went up to present my speech I had that feeling that I was about to fall off a cliff! Everyone was cheering my name on. Hearing them say my name made me nervous than I have ever been! “Go!” shouted Jiwoo then I started my speech out loud.
After I finished presenting my speech I felt so good. In fact I wanted to do it again! Now I have to wait and see who makes it in the semi finals.
In this church strand I did a title page. In this picture I have drawn Jesus, Mary a cross and a rosary. I made this to show that Jesus lives in us and that he will always love us no matter what! We go to the Church to worship God and celebrate the resurrection of our lord.
