My Value- By Deva
Today we disscused our values. We had to dig deep and think hard about what really counts. I chose the a smileas something I value it brings people, inculding me, Joy.
We created our value in clay so we could think about our values more and what it meant to us personaly.

Stations Of The Cross 2021- By Deva
During the 1st of April, the 8 & 7’s decided that we should reenact the day Jesus got crucified on the cross. We had 5 practises, including a dress rehearsal. On the day all of the St Patrick students saw our recreation of Jesus’s death.
Practising and performing our little act was actually really fun and especially dressing up and acting like the people of Jerusalem.
I loved the outfits we got to try on, it was cool how it looked like what people wore hundreds of years ago. Doing this act felt like we were in the actual scene watching Jesus being crucified. The characters were: Jesus, Mary And her friend, Simon and his disciples , Veronica and her friends, woman of Jerusalem, Soldiers , and Pilot. Overall this act we did was the most fun thing we did. I really enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to doing more things like this.

The longest walk- By Deva
The Rapsey family decided to go on the longest walk this route was Te Araroa.
Their plan is to walk before breakfast, to the top of Poukirikiri/ Travers saddle. High above the Nelson lakes. They started at Cape Reinga and finished at Bluff, right at the bottom of Te Waipounamu. The Rapseys will cross two mountain passes in Nelson lakes National Park.
They walked 27 kilometres along Te Oneroa-a-Tohe. The family walked through lots of tiny towns and rolling hills. They reached Tamakimakaurau, with its tall buildings and suburban streets. The Rapseys came across the farmland of Waikato and the ancient trees of Pureora, The family passed mount Ngauruhoe and Mount Tongaririo .
Everyone stayed in tramping huts or houses. .
Overall This story was really interesting and sounded like the family was very tired. This story told me about lots of places and how strong a family bond is!
