ANZAC Biscuits
Last Thursday I was so excited! Room 6 students were given ANZAC biscuits to look at, feel and to eat later. In world war 1 in 1915 ANZAC biscuits were made for the men and women who went to war. The ANZAC biscuit felt hard like a rock but it was not cold. It looked like a rough moon rock and it tasted like coconut and oats.
175th Jubilee St Patrick’s School and Parish

Last Friday when I woke up I was so excited! I knew it was St Patrick’s day. So I jumped out of my bed. Once we got to school I said to my friend, “it’s St Patrick’s day!” So we did sports after Mass and digging up the Time Capsule from 25 years ago. The games we played were gumboot toss, scatter ball, T ball, shooting ball and hoops, rock paper scissors. We had fun playing in our teams.
On Sunday we had a big mass celebration with three priests. There was beautiful singing and dancing. After Mass everyone went to the hall we sang three songs for the guests and then we had lunch. It was an amazing celebration.
