On Tuesday the 22/02/2022, students at St. Ita's Catholic Primary School celebrated Twsoday.

The Grade 6 Administration Leaders, Ava Upston, Holly Dignan, Sophie Gooley and Maygan Stoll, interviewed students, asking them about the significance of the date.

Scarlett Jolly from Gr 3/4 Ollington had a bit to say about what today is all about.

I asked Scarlett why everyone is making a big fuss about today and this is her answer.

“The reason today is so special is because of today’s date the 22/2/22, and what makes it more special is today is that it is Tuesday. Get it, Twosday?”

She also said that it's really rare and that it wouldn't happen for a long time.

Because of this special day most of the year levels have been doing activities that have to do with this special day. For example, they were given a paper hat to draw on that said “HAPPY TWOSDAY” with their name on it.

The last thing she said was that the last time it happened was not as special because first of all it didn’t have as many twos in the date and second of all it wasn’t a Tuesday. The last date was Wednesday, 2/2/2022.
