Barcelona

Barcelona is an awesome soccer club

It is way cooler than Maggie's soccer hub

They wear red and blue

They have a big crew

But sometimes they have to sub

We are the best room
Room Six is the perfect room
But we are so loud

Soccer

     Fun, awesome 

    Kicking, shouting, tackling

     Nationals clubs, professionals games

 Diving, subbing, cheering

   Cool, professional

Year 5 Retreat

Year 5 retreat


On Thursday the 31st all of the year 5's went to St. Francis Retreat center.

All the year 5's had a blast. Personally my favorite activity was the treasure hunt. You each had a name and I think our one was the best, Jesus the Good Shepherd.

You got put in a group ( the picture below is me with my group ) and had to find clues around the campus. The hardest thing was though is that we had to hold this paper it was about 1 m long and we had to have 1 hand on it the whole time. It was so fun and i wish I could go again

Speeches

On Wednesday the 4th of September Good Shepherd School had the speech finals. Three people from each year group performed a speech. These people had won their class, their semifinal and now they were waiting to see what place they would come in the speech finals. I was one of the year 5's along with Jiwoo and Coco. I won the year 5's,  Jiwoo came 2nd  and Coco came 3rd. The overall winner was Mia Growden. I had an awesome time and I can't wait for next year to see if I get in again.

Mary Mackillop 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.

Multi Cultral Cook Island

Week 3 has been a very busy week with so many celebrations. Good Shepherd School celebrates our multicultural school with our Cook Island Language focus. We looked at the culture through our reading and made fun fact files. We were also lucky to have Alessandra and the cultural leaders teach us a Pure (prayer) to sing.




We learnt Aro’a mai te Atua iaku. See if you can say/sing this pure too.




Aro’a mai te Atua iaku.

Aro’a mai te Atua iaku

I te au mea taku kite nei

Te anuanua kua iti mai ki roto iaku

Aro’a mai te Atua iaku




My God loves me

My God loves me

And all the wonders I see

The rainbow shines through my window



My God loves me

Keeping Ourselves Safe.

In the last couple of weeks Miss Down gave us each an egg to look after we were all very egg-cited. We took our eggs home and made places for it to sleep. We had to take it to school unless someone looked after it. We made lots of Egg-excellent yokes about them. I got really eggravated doing this but i manged to keep it alive until Friday. It was an egg excellent adventure. Like my vocabulary about eggs it's egg-excellent.

Maths Measurement

On Thursday we did maths with Miss Taylor. We were getting all set up to make jelly.We were measuring cups, bottles, jars  etc. We were measuring them because we need to know how much jelly we need to put in the cups. We have 5/ 6 colors we are allowed to use but before the fun we have to do the math. We had such fun on Thursday I can't wait 'till the next lesson.
