Goodbye Good Shepherd School.

This is me on the left when i was a year 1 when I first started school and the right picture is me now.

Choir

During this year the Good Shepherd School choir had a lot of practices for the Kids 4 Kids concert. It was on the 13 Tuesday November at the Vodafone event center. Eva and Miracle got a solo for the concert, Eva was a cowgirl and sang love in a fowl house. Miracle sang something so strong. It was fun, entertaining and enjoyable.

Room 6 Prayer's

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, we also presented a song that we put lyrical dances moves to our song was: So will I, by Hill song. This is the song: So will I.

Athletics

The harder the battle the sweeter the victory!

All of Good Shepherd School piled into buses as we headed to Three Kings Fields for the annual Athletics Day event. We had been training for weeks and we were ready to take on our peers and to compete for a placing. The events were running, long jump, high jump, discus and shot put. My favorite event was discuss and shot put.  

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 favorite activities was reading Chris Gurney’s books during book week. Chris has written so many wonderful and humorous traditional tales with a kiwi voice. We absolutely adore her books, so for our assembly we presented a Readers Theater: Trev and the Kauri Tree.
