Confirmation Retreat
6th class would like to say a big thank you to the youth workers from Net Ministries who came to our school to lead us in a confirmation retreat day. We played lots of fun and active games. We spent time discussing faith journeys and considering what being confirmed means to us. Thanks also to Fr. Barry for organising such a great day!
Baking Chocolate biscuit cake!
We had a lot of fun baking chocolate biscuit cake for the Easter bake sale. A great way to put in practice everything we know about weights and measures and to show off our procedural writing skills! Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to eat our tasty goods but we hope that all of you who purchased at the bake sale enjoyed!
Our confirmation day
6th Class were very excited for their confirmation ceremony, which took place in the Lourdes church at 11AM on Friday 13th April. All the boys and girls worked hard to prepare themselves to receive the Holy Spirit. After the ceremony, they spent the day with friends and family.
Active Week - 23rd - 27th April
We really enjoyed the extra activities for active week last week. One of our favourite activities was on Thursday when we had the chance to design relay races. We used cones, benches and hurdles. Well done to all the great coaches in 6th class who really put their classmates through their paces!
We also completed a 100 metre running challenge each morning during active week.
You can see in the picture how our times improved each day (apart from a minor blip on Wednesday!).
We realised that if you take the turn around the cone out of the 100m run, and just run straight for 100m, your run becomes much faster. This explains the big improvement in our average times on Thursday and Friday!
