Every year our school supports Project Compassion for Lent. This is an organisation that raises money for families and people who are less fortunate than us. We have a Project Compassion box in our classroom and at each of our homes. We put money in these boxes so that it can go to the people that Project Compassion support. Each week our class watches a video about the work of Caritas around the world. The one we have watched one so far was about a girl in Brazil called Maristely who is a strong young leader committed to helping people in her community improve their lives.

This Animation was for a school project. The graphics aren’t that great because I used paint to make it. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

Tamara, Mari and I shared a row on the plane on the way to Canberra! Our flight left Adelaide airport at 6:40 am on the 8^th of April 2013. We were served breakfast by the lovely flight attendants. We had muesli cereal, a blueberry muffin, some orange juice and a cup of tea. The tea turned out to be coffee! Tamara was disgusted so she sculled it, it really was gross! What I can’t believe is that she slept after that! We arrived in Canberra at about eight o’clock. We went to collect our luggage then boarded our bus. The bus drivers name was Stewie!

On 9^th, April 2013, we went to the Australian Parliament house. This was our second day in Canberra. The new Parliament house was completed in 1988. It took 7 years to build Parliament house. We learned a lot of facts in the Parliament. We enjoyed Canberra a lot and it’s a really cool place to go to.

On the 5^th of June term 2, the Year 3 to 7’s went to the SACPSSA Athletics carnival at Santos Stadium. We had lots of fun and lots of exercise. I came 1^st in high jump, 100m, 200m, 60m Hurdles and Carla, Olivia, Alysia and I came 1^st in the relay.

On the 3rd of July, 2013 the years 4-7 travelled to Netball SA Stadium to participate in the Catholic Schools Netball Carnival.

When we got there we got into our teams and started warming up.  Each team played and all of them did so well.

Everyone had such a great time and we were so tired on the way home.

On Friday Term 2 Week 8, girls from Nativity and Pilgrim set out to play football. After winning the first round against Coorara Primary school we were so excited to be playing again. Unfortunately we didn’t win the second round against Marymount college, but we all walked away with high spirits. Well, Alysia did anyway!!!

 

On 8th of august, we had cross country, the course was 2kms longs. when we got there, we had to get set up of course. a while later, we started racing and by we I mean Nativity school. they started with under 10’s, then 11’s, then 12’s, and then Open.

 

Went it was our turn to race we raced with all the open girls because there were no other divisions for Open. There were a lot of people and they all looked fast so we were really scared. When the gun went my heart was racing, we crossed the race in the same amount of time. After that race, we all went to the canteen to get some thing to eat. There were cakes, cookies, drinks, sausages, lolly bags, and bags of chips.

When it was time to go every one was tired, but we all still were really loud on the bus. When we got back to school, all the girls took naps while the boys played on the computer. Over all, we had a really good day.
