Catholic Schools Day




On Tuesday it was a lovely, beautiful day because it was Catholic Schools Day. We had a lovely mass because St Joseph’s and our school were together.


After mass our school and St Joseph celebrate  Catholic School day  by having lunch together, it was fun because we played at the park. The bell rang and we had to get ready for the concert. St Joseph’s and us went to the hall to share our items.
Room 7
started off with a pray then they did an item followed by St Joseph’s doing a song called ‘You Can Count On Me’. Room 7 did another item and it was ‘I'm Yours’. St Joseph’s did a Maori dance then we did the cup song lead by Room 3. We had to stand up and go to  the front to perform our item,   I felt very proud when we were clapping and singing.


After the cup song we stood up and went back to our places. Then it was Room 7’s turn,  they sang a Tongan song. After that we said goodbye to St Joseph’s School, it was time for them to go back to their school on the the bus.


I had a wonderful Catholic School’s Day, I can’t wait to do it all again soon.
