Snowy Springs
 |
This month we had a wonderful adventure. Snow fell heavily for the first time in 8 years. We could not go outside for break as the yards had a white blanket of snow covering them. Children watched through the windows amazed at the sight that was before them. Many children made snow men big, small fat and skinny they might have used different items to decorate instead of the usual items such as carrots, coal, scarves and top hats.
Ms.
Wyley and Ms. Kelly's Senior Infants put on a superb play. The acting was
outstanding for their age. Every single part was just as important as the
others. We would like to thank the teachers Ms. Wyley and Ms. Kelly
helping them prepare.
The story of Peter Rabbit” is about a little rabbit who is a

in. But he makes a lucky escape. His

him.

Confirmation news by
Rachel
The Confirmation classes recently took their Pledge
at mass and are one step closer to making their Confirmation! Next up is the
Ceremony of Light on the 8th March, with Fr. Andrew. The classes bring up their
Baptismal Candles themselves, showing that they are more independent than when
they made their Baptism. The
Confirmation is then on the 28th March. Good luck!
