St Patrick’s Day

 

In the morning I woke up with excitement. I put on my clothes as fast as possible because I knew we were going to do outside activities and games. I went running to School when my Mum dropped me off and played with my friends in the park until the bell rang for learning. When It did we went to class because we were going up church soon.

 

I walked up to church for St Patrick’s Day with my classmates. I saw more people than usual. There were people praying which is what I like hearing because I just love the sound of people worshiping God. It makes me feel welcomed. The school sat down as we were waiting for the church to start. The church was set up nicely in green to represent St Patrick’s Day.

 

Finally the people praying have finished so it could start. The Altar servers came, along with the Priest. Everyone started to sing while they were walking towards the altar. The introduction came up then the prayers of the faith and a group of singers were singing for solo parts. (cantor)

 

The Priest read the bible and welcomed everyone for people that came to the celebration. It was time to eat the body of christ. Everyone came up to him and he blessed them. It was a nice time at church to spend time with God.

 

Since the church was long it was morning tea already. I got my tea and ran out to the park. I had fun playing with my friend and tried to complete a parkour by climbing poles. When the bell ran I knew it was time for games.All classes met in the canopy with water bottles and hats. 

 

I was so excited and they called out people’s team names. When my one was called out I was one of the eldest so I had to take care of 2 frustrating kids. 

One of my friends was a leader and had a card. It had numbers which were taught in the same number of classrooms.

 

 We went to my teacher’s game which was in the bottom court. We played scatter ball and we were in the throwing team. I helped the young ones throw the ball and run. We kept switching sides and it was fun!

 

When we finished I soon realised it was time to announce how many points we had. My team won the most points and we jumped with joy. The principal came outside from the office to ring the bell to move to another activity. (another teacher). We played Rock, paper and scissors with one of my favourite teachers and we played Gumboot throw with another teacher. We went walking at the canopy for our next game.It was pretty fun!

 

Lastly, the next game was on the top court. It was called T-ball. We were in the fielding team and the other team was in the throwing team. The other team threw a ball and we used teamwork to try and win!

 

When the Principle came to ring the bell all teams went back to the canopy to eat ice blocks. We enjoyed our day and did our inside activities and nominated our MVPs for the week.
