Mary Macilliop Show

Mary Mckilliop show

On Thursday our school had the privilege of seeing a play about Mary Mackillop in our school hall and found out why she became the first saint from New Zealand and Australia . Mary Mackillop was born in Australia and the Mackillop family was poor and need some food . There was a man whose name was Scott and there was a girl whose name was Julia who also were part of the play. I thought that Scott was funny and the crowd was laughing at him.

Scott had riped clothes and Mary Mackillop told Scott to go to Saint Joseph home and they will get help. When Scott came back he told Mary Mackillop that her sister died. Mary Mackillop wanted to go to see her sister and she needed a ride a short distance to see her, even though she was dead. She went to the place but there were people drinking and a man called Kelly, and Mary Mackillop went to see her sister after she died.

Another part of the play told us about when Mary’s dad was milking the cow and needed to push the cows and seven people had to push this one cow. After the helpers finished they sat back down and later on the story revealed that Mary was now a Saint . Many members of her family were happy that Mary Mackillop was a Saint.

I enjoyed the show and I now feel I know Mary Mackillop better.
The movie was exciting and it was so Hilarius. I want to see the movie again but i can’t .it was the best movie i have ever seen

Athletics Day

Relays on Friday On Friday afternoon it was one hot sunny day, it was so hot heaps of people became exhausted before we had started to do any running.We went outside into the field and had athletics practice. We were going to practice relays in our house groups such an awesome way to finish the days activity. There were lots of teams doing relays because room 5 joined in with the other two senior classes. I was waiting so long I burned on my bottom and I said “hurry up “ to the people besides me . As others were setting up the big cones and getting the battens for the relays.

Once we got to the field we sat down on the grass and the teachers counted us in numbers and the numbers that are the same are in one team so I was number 5.We sat down on the lines and we started.One person stood up from each lines . Daniel and Kahlaine commenced relay. They raced our team and we were cheering for our team and we were cheating because Sefesi ran half way and came back to give the batten to someone else. It was my turn to run next and Turansis was running and I caught up to him and I got to the next runner first and it went on.We finished and we had to do it do it again and we nearly did the same thing but this time we didn’t cheat and it was fun and tiring for me.I nearly couldn't breath properly and I thought that I was going to die but i didn’t.We practiced and practiced over and over again.We were finished and we lined up to walking back to class and I had to take a one cone and take it back to the office. Well I’m off home now, have a nice weekend!
