Room 6 Calendar Art

Marae Trip

On Wednesday the 28th of August the school went to a Marae, they talked about the carvings on the walls and they told maori stories. After that we had morning tea in a room and we got to play for a littlebit. At the end we did the haka. Here are a few moments from the trip.

Mixed Media- Visual Arts

You hold the future in your hands.

In Term 2 our Visual Arts focused was on Mixed Media. We finally finished our pieces of art at the end of the term. We started off by creating two hands, most of us copied our own hands as templates. One hand represents our past and the other hand our future. We used lots of different materials and symbols to make our artwork as well as exploring a range of different techniques with watercolor paint. This is my art work.

Cook Island language Week

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

Assembly

Last week Room 6 performed their assembly. Our main entertainment was a drama circle on occupations. We also displayed our mixed media we made in term 2. Some people also shared about what they put on their art and why. We all had so much fun preparing and presenting our assembly.


Here are some pictures of our assembly:

Hockey

On Friday we had so much fun with Sport NZ as they came in to teach us hockey. We got to do warm up and drills with the hockey sticks and played against each other in teams. We are already looking forward to next Friday’s session. Here are a couple of pictures:
