The World Celebrates Green Day!...

All around New Zealand, there are a lot of events happening because of Saint Patrick's Day! Each year in New Zealand Saint Patricks Day is celebrated on the 17th of March.

The first celebration of Saint Patrick's day was in the United States specifically Boston in 1737. The largest celebration to celebrate Saint Patrick's day parade is in New York, I don't know why it is the largest but who knows why?

Patrick was born in Britan in the year 387. Patrick's real name was actually Maewlyn Succat. The name St Partick was given to him later in his life by a woman named Pope Celestine. Later on at the age of sixteen, he was kidnapped by pirates and was sold into slavery in Ireland. Saint worked as a shepherd and started turn into a different religion into a Devout Christian. After six years when he was 21, he escaped and flew back to Britain.

St Patrick sadly died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, then on March 17, he was believed to be buried in Downpatrick, County Down!

That is why we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day!

Warriors Win!

The Warriors have won their first game of 2018 with an impressive win of 32-20 against South Sydney at Optus Stadium!

They have been struggling this year but they looked better when they tackled and look way more fit than last year. Most importantly they finished the game with not one single person with an injury! Their other game was against the Titans last week on the weekends.

Bad News...About Stephen Hawkings...

Do you know Stephen Hawkings? If you do good on you but if you don't you will know from this post. First of all the basics, the way you pronounced his name isn't (Stephen Hawkings) but it's pronounced as (Steven Hawkings) but that is just how you spell it.

Hawkings peacefully died at his home in Cambridge, UK. Hawkings was mostly known for his work with black holes and relativity and also wrote several science books one of the most popular ones is called A Brief History Of Time.

At the age of 22, he was given only a few years to live then he would die, after being found with a medical problem with a rare form of motor neuron disease if you don't know what a motor neuron disease is it is a very bad medical problem that can not be cured.
The illness left Hawkings in a wheelchair and he was unable to speak except through a voice synthesiser. Also, a voice synthesiser is an electronic device that speaks what you text through your device in a human voice.

Jacinda Adern at Polyfest...

A lot of kids from the Pacific Islands participated in the Polyfest last week!

Polyfest is four days of the Pacific culture with music, food, and competitions. Among all the 242 people there was a special person who went who just came from Raratonga, guess who, you give up, if you don't comment who you think it is right now if you give up I'll tell you. It was our prime minister great I know right, it was New Zealand's own Jacinda Adern! She was the first ever Labour prime minister to ever attend Polyfest.


I have a question for you now. Did you attend Polyfest?

The Trip To A Big School

Today, a few students from our school went to Saint Kentigern College to do some sport activities. The first time we were with them they came to our school, but then they decided why not them come to us. It was quite fun sometimes but was also a bit boring. From our class in my group was Alamoni, Kymani, Shaniqua, Faye & Militina. Mrs Riley and Miss Misela went around to check on each group on how they were doing, but then there was an incident with one of my classmates.

Ed Sheeran In Dunedin!

Dunedin's city council has decided to spend $8000 on a street picture of Ed. 

Ed will probably be preforming in Dunedin around Easter time, and to celebrate they got a professional artist to paint a picture of Ed to welcome him! The design has been approved by Ed, but a few people are not happy with this decision. They think all that money should be spent on important things people need, not want. The street art will be finished by next week. Also not only is he going to Dunedin but he will be coming to Dunedin and Auckland later in the month.

A Secret Bottle In Spain?

On March 14th a family in the northern part of Spain found a message from New Zealand that was sent eight years ago! The person who sent it was a boy, his name was Julian Joy in the message had his address, and age in a wine bottle. Last month the people in Whangarei received a response from a German woman, her name was Luisa she said it was her mother that found the note in a place called Mundaka on the Atlantic coast of Spain. Julian's mother said, "We'd forgotten all about the bottle because it was eight years and we were just so excited to see if it got anywhere!" She thought that it would never make it out of Whangarei harbor but apparently, it did!
