St Patrick's Day




On Monday, 18 March we celebrated St Patrick's Day. He is our Patron Saint and a man who inspires us to do what is right. The day began with Mass which was followed by a morning of Tabloid Sports. There were five stations set up and we all rotated around them. Two of our favourite activities were the 'Gumboot Throw' and 'Capture the Flag.' We had so much fun and to end the day we were all given a Lemonade ice block. It was a hot day and these were just what we needed.

    1. We enjoyed playing Gumboot Throw and if you want to play it you need to get 2 gumboots, 2 cones and 2 even teams and 2 people to measure where the gumboot lands and put the cone there. And we are wondering whether you will play it?
