2018 yearbook

this year has been cool so we want to share about it

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 favourite event was

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, we also presented a song that we put lyrical dances moves to our song was: So will I.

Room ^

"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.

Saints

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. focus
