On Wednesday the 2nd of April 4R and 4C went on an excursion to the Sydney Opera House and Circular Quay. Luckily it was a hot day so we didn’t get wet.
On the way to our destination we got to travel over the Harbour Bridge. Everyone screamed when they saw the city and the Opera House. We all were very exited.
Before recess we had a walk around the water and saw a man who was standing with one leg, very still like a statue. We were all so surprised!!!!
We then had recess in front of a restaurant on these chairs next to the water. We were all so lucky.
4R then went for a tour with a lady named Vicky, while 4R was gone 4C walked around Circular Quay. We saw a man who could play the didgeridoo. He encouraged some boys to have a turn too. Some girls banged some sticks together to make music with an Aboriginal man. We also saw a man covered in glitter who could sit without a chair. It was cool!!!!
At around 11:45 4C then went for a tour with a lady named Jeanette and 4R did the things 4C had finished doing. In the Opera House we got to see 3 theatres.
We saw a small room called the Play Room that could fit 300 people. We then saw the Studio. It can fit 600 people. We then saw the biggest one, which is the Joan Sutherland Theatre.
We then had lunch at the Botanic Gardens. There were lots of birds crowding around us. It was fun. We had a great day and would love to go again.

All Saints Day – Saturday, 1st November On Saturday, 1st November, we celebrate All Saints Day — a special feast that honours all the saints, known and unknown, who have lived lives of holiness and love. It reminds us that sainthood is not only for a few extraordinary people, but for all who strive to live faithfully in their everyday lives — the “saints next door” who bring God’s love to others through kindness, compassion, and service. As members of the Communion of Saints, we are united with all those who have gone before us in faith. We also look to Our Lady, the first and greatest of all saints, as our model of faith, peace, and discipleship. May her example inspire us to live with courage and grace as we continue to grow in holiness. “Let us remember: holiness is not a privilege for the few, but a call for everyone.” – Pope Francis
