Rm 6's Prayers

On Monday the 5th of August Room 6 hosted whole school prayers. Our theme was The Gift of Faith. We did a song called ‘Open the Eyes of My Heart’ and Jiwoo, Zara and Maggie made hand actions for us. There were also people who did the prayers of the faithful. Overall prayers was a big success and everyone enjoyed it.





Here are some pictures of our prayers:

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:

Watercare

Water, water everywhere! On Friday of week 6, we were lucky to have Sally from Watercare come to teach us more about the water. We did a drama activity and experiments. Firstly we examined the process that water goes through to become drinkable water in our households. Our drama was based on the process that the water goes through to be cleaned. We were the water going through each stage. We had so much fun as we ventured around the school. Once we learnt how water is cleaned we then had to try and clean the dirty water ourselves. We had to create a filter system in partners. We had to do four different tests for our experiments. We experimented with a range of filters to try and test which filter system was the best.

Cross Country 2019

Good Shepherd School had been busy training for cross country this term and finally the day arrived.
In week 6 we all arrived at school in our running gear and had our house colours painted onto us. We were eager and ready to go and win house points. Overall the race was long and required a lot of stamina, but we were prepared. Here are some pictures from our races.

 

Science in a Van

On Friday, Science in a Van came to visit our school. They taught us about the periodic table and taught us really cool experiments. We really enjoyed their show.The periodic table is a table of elements. Here  are some photos about the periodic table and Science in a Van:

Sign Language

This term we had some visitor's talk about sign language. One was doing sign language and one was verbalising in English and we learnt how to sign our national anthem in both Maori and English. We learnt that it is an important language, to the deaf and is a language of New Zealand.

Celebrating Easter

We have shared our knowledge of what Easter is in Religious Education by decorating and creating spinning wheels. We realise that Easter is an important celebration in our lives. Here are some photos mine:
