Room 6's Prayers

Week 5 and 6 were busy for Room 6 we presented our assembly in week 5 and had whole school prayers. On Monday, Week 6. Our theme for prayers was community, compassion and discipleship. This was inspired as we approach Christmas and start to think about others and those who are in need of help. Our reading was 1 John 3: 16-18 it said,"This is how we know what love is, Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to do the same for our brothers and sisters. If one has material pssesion and sees a brother or sister in need, but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person. Dear Children, let us not love with words and speech, but with actions and truth."  We also presented a song that we put lyrical dances moves to our song was: So will I.

Room 6's Assembly

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." 

Week 5 was non stop for Room 6 with athletics, kapa haka and irish dancing. But it was also our final assembly for the year, and for some of us our final assembly at Good Shepherd School. This was the perfect time for us to share some of our talents and learning. We had been focusing on New Zealand music through our passport tasks so it was only fitting to pick a kiwi classic; Six Months in a Leaky Boat by Split Enz (written in 1982). We sung along to the words and put some of groovy moves together to create a dance. Throughout the year one of our favourite activities was reading Chris Gurney’s books during book week. Chris has written so many wonderful and humourous traditional tales with a kiwi voice. We absolutely adore her books, so for our assembly we presented a Readers Theatre: Trev and the Kauri Tree. My favourite part of the assembly was the dance . The name of the music was called "Six Months In A Leaky Boat" written by "Split Enz" in 1982.

The Daily Gossip

For the past five weeks in code club, we have been making a magazine. My favourite part was making the link to videos, and they actually work! My magazine was called "The Daily Gossip" This is my magazine:

Unfortunately, code club has come to an end, but hope that it will still be here for year 5s and 6s next year.

Saint Cecilia

Our focus this term in Religious Education was the Communion of Saints. We learnt about the three parts of the Communion of Saints and how we are all connected. The Communion of Saints is bonded through prayer, baptism and the Eucharist.

As part of our studies we researched and created a slide show that explored a live of a Saint.

Who Kidnapped The Witch?

In math a witch  has been kidnapped and we had to use clues to find out who did it, where she is, and what tool was used. It turns out that it was Ghost Man, in the costume shop, with the handcuffs.

Athleics

Every year, Good Shepherd has athletics. We all participate in a few sports, shot put, long jump, high jump, discus, and relay, but my favourite one was discus, because it ended up being a real challenge for me. 

Communion Of Saints

All Saints Day is on the 1st of November. In Religious Education, we have been learning about how Heaven, Purgatory and the Living are all bounded together as one. To resemble this we created weaved mats and were bound together in three groups. Here are some photos to give you and idea of just what we did.

This is the three groups
