Room 6 children receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion
Over the weekend, ten of us in Room 6, received the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion. For about six weeks we met together after Mass on Sundays, for lessons with our teacher. For Confirmation, we had to choose a Saint who we admire and would be close to us for the rest of our lives.
As the time was getting closer, we were getting more and more excited to meet the new Bishop, who was going to come to our parish to be with us as we continue our journey with Jesus. We also had to decide what we were going to wear. For Confirmation, which was on Saturday night, we could wear any clothes that were respectful. For First Holy Communion on Sunday, the girls were asked to wear white and the boys could wear white and black. We all looked fabulous.
Bishop Steve was very kind to us and he even came to celebrate in the hall with us afterwards. We had a special morning tea with the parish. There were so many people there who were congratulating us. We felt very close to Jesus and we will remember this weekend forever.

Receiving our beautiful new Dictionaries
Last Friday, the 13th May, we were so excited because we were having visitors to our class. Just before morning tea there was a knock at the door and Ms Bullot and our teacher came inside with two ladies. Ms Bullot introduced them to us as the "word fairies" because they were bringing us brand new dictionaries. We can use our dictionaries to help us with our writing and look up the meanings of new words.
Mrs Kearns told us a little bit about what Pakuranga Rotary does in the community. They raise money to buy Dictionaries for children not only for our school but for children around the Pacific. They have been coming to our school for many years and we are very grateful.
We all signed our names inside our books and our teacher took photos of us. Here is a picture of us after we had received our books. Thank you Pakuranga Rotary - we feel blessed.

Snapshots of what we have been up to in Room 6 this Term.
Welcome to Room 6. This Term has been an unusual one, where not all of us have been able to come to school every day, as we would have like to. It has taught us how much we enjoy being able to participate in and contribute to our learning when we are at school with our classmates.
Class Treaty
At the beginning of the term we read 'The Tree Hut Treaty' by Wiremu Grace, which helped us develop our own thoughts on what we wanted our classroom to look, feel and sound like this year. It encouraged us to think about what being a good classmate entails and this fitted in with our Mitey learning about 'Mana' as well.
We created our own Tree Hut on the wall at the back of the classroom by painting and adding animals, insects and beautiful flowers to it.
This is our Class Tree Hut with all of us inside it and some of our 'mana' words on the ladder leading up into the hut. We have our Class Treaty up too, which we have all signed:

Catholic Schools' Day
Catholic Schools' Day
Last Wednesday, 29th September, all Catholic Schools around the country celebrated our Catholicity and the reasons we love attending our special schools. We all joined in a school meet at 11am to share a beautiful Liturgy, organised by Room 7 and 8 students. It was great to connect with one another again and see our friends looking so happy. Thank you to Ms Bullot for spending many hours collating this wonderful video for us to keep looking back on, in thanks and gratitude for our fantastic school, St Patrick's.
Here is our video for you to enjoy:
