Week 6 - In the words of Pope Francis...

Crossing the threshold of faith is work performed with dignity and a vocation of service, with the self-denial of someone who in either case goes back to daily life to begin again without slackening, as though all that had already been done were just one step in the journey toward the kingdom, the fullness of life. It is the silent hope after the daily sowing, contemplating the fruit gathered and thanking the Lord because He is good and asking him not to abandon the work of his hands (Ps 138).

School Librarians’ Workshop

On Tuesday we went to the Invercargill library.  It was really fun.  We went to visit two school libraries.  The libraries we went to were James Hargest Junior Campus and the Tisbury School library.  I really liked the Tisbury School library.  The things I liked about it was how we were allowed to take photos.  I liked how we went to a different library and I liked how we were allowed an hour to eat our lunch.   By Annie Armstrong

There were 2 puppies in the library.  We went to different school libraries.  There were 60 school librarians attending.   Matthew Hackett

Class Happenings – Room 6

In Room 6 we have been having milk on Tuesday and Thursday for our brain break.  We watched a video about the “Milk in Schools” programme and learnt that milk is good for our bodies because it gives us calcium and protein.  This is what some of the students in

Room 6 think:

The first time I had it I didn’t really like it but the second time I liked it a little bit and the third time it was yummy!  Isaiah-Runi

It was strong for my bones and yum!  Joshua

It gives you strength in your bones so you can walk properly and run.  The milk tastes yummy!  Anika

I think the milk tastes yum.  The milk helps me with my work and it helps my muscles get strong.  Jesse

Its delicious and it tastes like cheese.  Tyler

The milk tastes nice.  On the last one I drank, it said there are 206 bones in your body.  I like the taste of it.  It tastes like milky cheese.  Aubrey

It helps your bones get strong.  I like how you fold the box and recycle it.  It’s like strong metal.  Dylan

It’s good because it makes your teeth strong.  Ben

I don’t really because it tastes a bit like rotten cheese.  Megan

It’s yucky because it tastes like cheese and I don’t like the taste of the milk because I am used to the other kind.  I will drink it sometimes because it helps my bones be strong.   Keara

The milk is yum and we you taste it heaps of times you get used to it.  Maiya

I was excited when the milk came and I think it’s delicious.  Jules

I think it is really yum because the first time I thought it was yuck because I didn’t shake it.  Now I think its yum because I shook it.  Summer

I like it because it has a cream and butter taste and I like cream and butter.  Scarlett

It tastes like real milk and I think it tastes good.  Mya

Catholic Schools’ Day

On Wednesday it was Catholic Schools’ Day.  At the Working Mens’ Club we had Mass.  Father Hook played a song it was good.  Father Hook brought his guitar.  When the Mass was finished we went back to school.  St Thomas’ School came.  It was fun.  We played five Verdon College people at touch.

Dylan Hawkes

On Wednesday last week all of the Catholic schools came to the Working Mens’ Club.  Father Hook was our priest.  He was singing to us and he told us to join in with the actions and singing.  Father Hook was playing the guitar.  Father Hook was our main priest but other priests were there.  We were in a really big room that had a lot of chairs in it.  Room 6 was sitting on the floor.  Some little kids ere sitting on the chairs.  Other schools were there.
