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.  

My Choir Solo

In Choir a few weeks ago I went to audition for a singing solo. I was really nervous and excited at the same time but eventually I got the solo with my partner Eva. On Tuesday 13 November 2018 we are going to the choir at Vodafone Events Center!

Bigfoot Adventure Biking

On Wednesday we had the Bigfoot adventure people come and teach us how to ride our bikes, laws about riding bikes and to learn bike skills. 

Mini BB Fair

On the 30th of August the school councilors prepared a mini BB ( Books and Baking ) to raise money for the power box outside our school. We raised $754 from all that hard work.

Production

Lights, Camera, Action!

Last week Good Shepherd School performed, ‘Zip Zip Zap Avenue’. We packed the school hall with our family and friends as the rain fell. Most of GSS students were in                                                         the holding classrooms covered

                                               in make-up and sitting in our toy costumes.

Zip Zip Zap Avenue is a about a Toy Shop that comes alive once one of the main characters, the Shopkeeper closed up the shop and turned off the light. The toys would then come alive when all the people were asleep, like the the families that visited the toy shop looking for the perfect gifts. This certain night at the toy shop the celebration was for Buzz the Bee, he had left the shelf of the toy shop and all his friends came out to celebrate him with dances. The main toy friends were Thing 1, Thing 2, Tiki, Spider man, Cabbage Patch Doll, Woody, Strawberry Shortcake, and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. The main characters introduced the classes as they came in as their selected toy and danced for buzz.

The first dance was the boys and girls of Room 3 and 4 who were transformers, this was a great and powerful way to start the show. Room 5 then twirled onto the stage as Barbie and Ken dancing to Barbie girl. Things got a little spooky as the trolls of Room 7 came out in the middle of the night to the song Thriller. We weren’t too scared for long as the fairies in Room 3 and 4 came out dancing away in their gorgeous fair dresses. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any cuter the teddy bears from Room 1 and 2 went on their teddy bear picnic. Room 8 then showed us what teamwork is with their awesome Lego outfit and very cool song … Everything is awesome! Next up were the Kiwi toy, with great costumes for the kiwi birds and the wonderful performance of the Poi Dancers. And finally it was our turn, Room 6 spun onto the stage as Rubix Cubes dancing to You Spin Me Right Around.

It was a fantastic experience for us all, we learnt a lot about performing and all the work that goes on in the background. We was a wonderful opportunity and it wouldn’t of been possible without the support of everyone working together just like the lego blocks.

Book Week

It's week 8 and it is the bookworms favourite week of the year! Book week! A lot of things happened this week. The library was jam packed full of books and other cool stuff like pencils and rubbers, authors and poets were visiting the school, the book parade was on Friday where we                                                        were able to show off our costumes of our                                                                 favourite book character!

Monday we were in groups competing against one another as we did a literacy quiz! There were 30 questions and three topics. Each question we got right earned us a point! And, we all had to pick a topic where we DOUBLED our points.

The next day Tasman Flinn visited the school. We all sat in the hall and sat on the chairs while she showed us her poems and talked about poetry.

Then on Thursday, all of us year 5 and 6s went to Room 2 so we could see Chris Gurney. She talked about her books and how to make a book. And she picked a few volunteers to act out a play, based off her own book called “Cindy And The Lost Jandal” (Miss Down’s favourite book).

Then on Friday, we all dressed up in our favourite book characters, and finished off the week with the book parade! Where we showed off our amazing costumes on the stage.

We all had so much fun during book week. Thank God for books!

I am learning to post a photo on to my blog.

My Meboard

   In room 6 we have been taking our time to make these me boards. We first planed it twice then started the real one. It looks really good right now.
