Rm 6 Asssembly

Assembly

Last week Room 6 performed their assembly. Our main entertainment was a drama circle on occupations. We also displayed our mixed media we made in term 2. Some people also shared about what they put on their art and why. We all had so much fun preparing and presenting our assembly.

Here are some pictures of our assembly:

Whole school prayers

We did a song called ‘Open the Eyes of My Heart’ and Jiwoo, Maggie a I made hand actions for the class. There were also people who did the prayers of the faithful. Overall prayers was a big success and everyone enjoyed it.

Cook island week

Cook island week

Week 3 has been a very busy week with so many celebrations. Good Shepherd School celebrates our multicultural school with our Cook Island Language focus. We looked at the culture through our reading and made fun fact files. We were also lucky to have Alessandra and the cultural leaders teach us a Pure (prayer) to sing. 

We learnt Aro’a mai te Atua iaku. See if you can say/sing this pure too.

Aro’a mai te Atua iaku. 

Aro’a mai te Atua iaku
I te au mea taku kite nei
Te anuanua kua iti mai ki roto iaku

Aro’a mai te Atua iaku

My God loves me 

My God loves me
And all the wonders I see
The rainbow shines through my window
My God loves me

Mary Mackillop feast day

Another celebration for Good Shepherd School in Week 3 was the Feast Day of Saint Mary MacKillop of the Cross.  St Mary MacKillop a vital part of Good Shepherd School, this is because she was the founder of the Josephites aka the Brown Joes.  The Brown Joes travelled all over Australia and New Zealand helping the poor and those in need. They built schools and that is how we are all students at Good Shepherd School. We celebrated the Feast day by going to a Mass for St Mary of the Cross and also having fun with our buddy class Room 4 as we worked on a St Mary MacKillop Art project.  

Hockey

On Friday we had so much fun with Sport NZ as they came in to teach us hockey.  We got to do warm up and drills with the hockey sticks and played against each other in teams.  We are already looking forward to next Friday’s session.

Here are a couple of pictures:

Egg-sitting

In the last couple of weeks we have been learning about keeping ourselves safe. As part of this we each got given an egg to look after for a week. Everyone was so egg-cited when they got their egg. The rules were, we could never leave it alone, we couldn't boil it, we had to make a bed for it and the most important rule, you could't crack it. Luckily I didn't crack my egg like some other people.

GSS book week 2019

GSS Book Week 2019 

Room 6 was hungry for books during our book week. We had a whole week celebrating all things books. We had author visits from Stu Duval and James Russell. Stu presented workshops on storytelling, cartooning and writing. James shared his books and told us stories. We did lots of cool book week activities in class like making dust jacket covers, wanted posters, bookmarks and story cubes. Finally our favourite day arrived, Friday. We got to dress up as our favourite characters and partake in the literacy treasure hunt. Overall book week is a fantastic week every year. Room 6 LOVES BOOK WEEK!

Here are some photos from our time:
