Tasting Anzac Biscuits

 

On Thursday afternoon, Mrs Agnew bought us ANZAC biscuits. She gave us all one anzac biscuit each. I was filled with joy, taking the anzac biscuit with my hand. It felt like looking into the past of where a lot of Australian and New Zealand fighters lost their lives by fighting for our country and for their family. The ANZAC biscuit was made by Australian and New Zealand women who baked the biscuit for the soldiers who were in war. The anzac biscuit could be stored for five to six months and they had a long way to travel to get to the soldiers. When I sank my fangs into the biscuit, it was so sweet and delicious, it was like I was eating a  slice of vanilla cake! The biscuit looked like a golden brown colour with bits of oats sticking on the top. It felt bumpy on the top but on the bottom of the biscuit it was smooth like concrete.

Saint Patrick’s 175th Jubilee

 On Friday I was with my Sister walking to room six class, She dropped me and she said ‘‘Bye!,’’ and I went to my class. My teacher ‘’Ms Kyle’’ told us to line up one row when I was about to eat my morning snack.  

 We walked a little rushed and ended up running because we’re always late! While we were at church, two of my friends were blocking the holy water when I was about to say, ‘’Hi,’’ but they were acting like strangers.

 I was in the middle of the line and I knelt down and did the sign of the cross. After doing that I sat at the end of the long chair and it was REALLY LONG. I couldn’t practise because of the interview. I wished my luck and sang with the people. After singing hymns, my priest, Father ’’ Iosefa,’’ did the Homily and the Body of Christ plus the blessing of Jesus.

So after all of the church things we all went outside and two of my friends dug up a big box that was locked but someone opened it. It was old pictures with someone with their classmates. I was wondering what happened but after all of that we went to my class and Ms Kyle said that we could do anything. She also said that we could eat our food, so I ate my food in class including lunch.

When the bell rang, we played football with the big kids and when the bell rang again, I brought my water bottle and hat and sat down. Mrs Bullot put me in a group and we went to Mrs Kyle. My leader gave Ms Kyle the points card. The game was to hit the ball with the bat and run to the first hoop, only for Room one and two.The second hoop was for Room six, seven, and eight.

 I was fourth in line, when it was my turn, I hit the ball and it went to a hole but was not stuck and I got three points. But one of my friends in my team broke the bat by accident, Ms Kyle said for us to use our hand. That was really hard but someone was walking to us and got us a plastic hard bat. The bat we used before the plastic bat was table tennis. Our group names were also Irish about food or a thing in Ireland.

I had a great day, it was the most unique Saint Patrick’s day and one hundred and seventy fifth Jubilee. We also have not had Saint Patrick’s Celebrations in three years! Here are photos of what happened on Friday Mass and Sunday!

 

 

                                                       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Learning More Cyber-Smart tips and shortcuts.

Today, on Wednesday, we had a visitor coming to my class, Room six. Her name is Mrs Grant. She gave us tips about the touch pad or, some people say the track pad. She gave us slides about the touch pad and  the short cuts of the computer, like control T. The thing that I enjoyed was the touch pad and learning about the new shortcut.

Here are 2 photos of the things I am doing.
