St. Patrick’s School

Saint Patrick's School is a place where students can get an education.

At school we learn, create and share our ideas. School when we are five years old. Cleaners cleans our school to make it smell nice and shining. Our principal to run, guide our school and look after the students. Teachers teaches us new things things that students don’t understand.

    

At this school, the students studies hard to learn new skills. They use books, Chromebooks or netbooks to get more information and to learn more education. Saint Patrick’s School has a sick bay to take care of any injuries. Our school has a lunchroom so students can place their lunch orders. Saint Patrick’s have programs like APOPS where we have the opportunity to hear musical instruments. Also ‘Trash to Fashion’ and Kiwi sports like softball, netball, basketball and many more.

Saint Patrick’s School celebrates Mission Day. All the money that is raised goes to the Holy Angel’s  Orphanage. They have a Cultural Festival where the students get to perform a dance from a different culture. St. Patrick’s celebrate St.Patrick’s Day and the Christmas production. These events are celebrated because it is important for the school as it’s a part of their identity.

In the morning, we have Religious Education so that we can learn about God. In maths, students learn number, fractions and place value. They also learn how to read and write. These subjects help them to learn new skills that they need. They are also able to blog and share their learning.

Sports

On Tuesday 21st of October 2014, Room 6 went in front of Room 1 and 2 to play softball. When we arrived there, we sat in front of our coaches. Their names were Debbie and Santana and they were both females. Debbie and Santana first introduced themselves and started to explain to us about the home base, first base , second base and third base.

After Debbie told us all about the bases, she put us into two groups and I was in the home base team with Cheska, Patelesio, Ingrid, Immanuel, Miguel, Drey, Lasike, Philomena, Julius, Siu, R.J, Aiden and Isaac. The rest of the class was put in the second base team. We had to run around the bases and put our feet on each base. My team won but even if the other group lost, we still cheered for the last person running in their group.

Debbie called us in and put us into two equal group. My partner was Jayviah. I was facing towards him and he was facing towards me. Debbie gave us one ball per pair. I had the ball and I held onto it. After Debbie gave us the ball, our partner had to do a butterfly upon their face so that they could catch the ball. I threw the ball towards Jayviah and he caught the ball in his butterfly fingers, but then he threw the ball too hard and I missed it.

After we threw the ball at each other, we had a challenge. The challenge was that if we threw the ball at our partner and our partner missed the ball, then we had to sit down. After Debbie explained to us the instructions, we started playing the first round. Jayviah missed my throw and we had to sit down. After the second round, a lot of people missed the ball and the only people left standing was Patelesio amd Santana. Then on the last round, Jayviah and I were the second to last standing with Santana and Lasike. Santana and I were the only girls standing, and Lasike and Jayviah was the only boys standing. Jayviah threw the ball short and I couldn't catch the ball but I did try to jump for it. So we lost and Lasike and Santana won the challenge.

I really enjoyed playing with Debbie and Santana. I am looking forward to our next practice.
