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.

Kapa Haka

Mana, power and pride would be a few words to describe the feeling as the Good Shepherd School Kapa Haka group took the stage. During the weekend a large group of year 5 and 6 students took to the stage to perform at the Eden Albert Cultural Festival. There were a few nerves before we started but once we were underway the excitement of performing kicked in. We felt proud as a team to perform for so many people. Kia Kaha! The highlight of Kapa Haka for me was the Haka!

Assembly

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

It was 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.

Athletics Day

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 the running races!
