THE QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN LEPRECHAUN

Today our school celebrated St Patrick's Day.  We celebrated it because we are a catholic school and because a lot of people who live in Australia are descended from people who came to Australia from Ireland.To celebrate the day all the children and teachers dressed in green and we took part in the QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN LEPRECHAUN.  We were all put into groups.  Each group had children from prep to year 7.  We rotated around different activities and earnt points for our team.  The team that had the most points at the end of 7 activities won the GOLDEN LEPRECHAUN!
The teams were named after places in Ireland.  They were DUBLIN, WICKLOW, LIMERICK, DONEGAL, GALWAY, WATERFORD, CORK, KERRY, TIPPERARY, WEXFORD, TRALEE, KILLARNEY, KILKENNY AND KILDARE.
The activities we did were THE POTATO HUNT, MUSICIAL STATUES, EGG AND SPOON RACE, CORNERS, THE HOOLA HOOP GAME, NETBALL SHOOTOUT and  SOCCER SCORING.
The winning team was WICKLOW and Kyle and Ava were lucky enough to be in that team.  They got an iceblock for winning. 
We all had great fun even though there could only be one winning team.
