Calendar Art

Today I finished my calendar art. We coloured in a sheet of mindfulness art which is meant for colouring in. This one is mine that I coloured in, and I also cut out '2019' ready for next year's calendar!

I feel very proud of my design because I took so much care and put in lots of effort.

My Diorama

Today I finished my diorama about a habitat. I choose my habitat to be the forest because it is a calm and simple place to talk and draw about. At first you can see a wolf looking at a snake which the snake is eyeing the bunny and the bunny is eating the grass. It shows the circle of life. I also hung up a little bird flying around. There is also a tree and  and some mini trees and a bush the snake is camouflaging on. There is a hidden squirrel to, along with a fish, snake and butterfly. I also put on some leaf decorations on the top of my forest.

Our Fan Letters

Today we did fan mail. Jemima got me and I got Frankie. She did this one shown in the picture. She write lovely things that she thinks makes me awesome. My letter was about what makes Frankie a very important part of our class. These letters made me and my class very happy😊

Good Shepherd Crosses

At the beginning of the term we began our crosses. But not any boring random cross, a unique cross to represent Good Shepherd. My cross represents how GSS takes in any culture. My one shows 2 different skin tones holding hands, and that represents our school with various cultures. At the bottom of my cross it shows a bunny, it shows my love for animals. On the sides it show the word CARE, Honesty and Love.  All the things that make GSS, GSS.

Mandarin (Chinese)

Every week me and my class do some Mandarin. Mandarin is Chinese but saying it in some other way. We learn some more every week so if we run into a Chinese person or need to be greeting someone in China, we will know what to say and how to respond. I know how to greet and how to say bye and stop a conversation.

Ni hao:  Hello
Zia jian:  Bye
Xie Xie: Thank you!
Wo j'aw Seihara: My name is Seihara

Tongan Language Week

  This week is Tongan  Language Week. We  learnt about things they do in the Tongan culture. With my group I learnt about Ngatu. Ngatu is something that Tongans use to make clothing. It is made of bark called tutu, tutu comes from a tree called mulberry. But the mulberry tree cannot grow in New Zealand because of our temperature. So they transport it from Tonga. Then they make NGATU!
