Limericks

 This week Room 6 has been learning Limericks! Here is one of mine:

There was a boy named silly billy

He is really weird, he ate 

He’s got a funny hat

He eats a lot of rats

But when it’s hot he feels chilly

Acrostic poems

Room 6 has been learning to write poems such as couplets, triplets, diamantes and so much more!
This week we have been learning how to write acrostic poems. Here are some of mine:
Great and kind

Amazingly wonderful
Nice to everyone
Doing good deeds
My gift that god gave me
Always in my heart


Good and funny

Really loves me
Always funny
Never says no to treats
Does good to everyone
Prays a lot

Mixed Media - Visual Arts

You hold the future in your hands.




In Term 2 our Visual Arts focused was on Mixed Media. We finally finished our pieces of art at the end of the term. We started off by creating two hands, most of us copied our own hands as templates. One hand represents our past and the other hand our future. We used lots of different materials and symbols to make our artwork as well as exploring a range of different techniques with watercolour paint. This is my art work.

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:

St Mary Mackillop's Feast Day

Another celebration for Good Shepherd School in Week 3 was the Feast Day of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop.  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.  

Rm 6's 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.
