Jesus Strand - Religious Education

During term 1 we have been learning about Jesus the Son of God. This is my cube on how Jesus showed us that God loved all his children, we are all blessed with the gifts of faith,hope and love.

                                                                  

                                                                     

My Accident Story

                                       How I Broke my toe


“Are we there yet?!’’ I said for 100th time. “Yes” Mum replied as I surprised by not getting a no. “BYE MUM BYE DAD!!!” I said happily because I really did not want to be with my sisters. Skip to night time, my friends were telling very...uh...inappropriate ghost stories. We ended up waking everyone up with our laughs. “WOW” my friend Nina said after a very sarcastic joke.


The next morning i was chasing Stephony (another friend) upstairs to were the most messiest room was… THE GIRLS ROOM. I was racing to get to Stephony after she reached a dead end. “TAG!!” I shouted as i rapidly zoomed to the stairs! Then I tripped on a shoe, just saying tripping on a shoe is very painful if you are me! I cried in pain then i was helped out to down stairs by the leaders.


Then the mean girls came, don don don! Of course i'm not going name them! I'll call them a and b. A came up to me with b while my foot was resting on a chair. “ you dont need this chair” A said with B aka sidekick, so anyways, they stole the chair.

Later I went home and my mum took me to starship so she could prove me wrong. When this kid next to me threw up, oh and i got a moon boot.

The moral of my story is to never scatter your shoes around a room.

Swimming Sports

                                                                 Swimming sports




Room 6 had a wonderful day at swimming sports. When we all went to the turf we split up into our houses. Thank you Sharyn and parents for helping us with the non competitive swimming and competitive. Also thank you parents for coming along and supporting your children. Good shepherd students thank the teachers very warmly, as every year as they set up and prepare this event for us. I’m sure that every student enjoyed the event. I saw everyone compete with my own eyes and they all did well. The people who lost don’t have to be sad because they should be grateful they got a swim in the warm weather also because there’s always time and effort to improve.

Shine Week

                                                                   Shine Week
A sea of orange flood Good Shepherd School on Friday the 8th of March. This week was shine week. We raise money to help people whose lives are affected domestic violence. In support we all wore orange clothes and brought a gold coin donation to help the charity. Here are some pictures:

Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday

Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday

Tuesday was Shrove Tuesday. The festivities started with the burning of the ashes on the turf. This was a new and exciting experience that not many of us had seen before.

As we saw the flames flare out of the dish we all were on the edge of our seats. We sung some songs and said some prayers before returning to our classes.

Later on during Religious Education we learnt about how before Lent, people used to get rid of all their luxury items such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs and milk by making pancakes. Some classes were even able to enjoy some pancakes of their own.

We all thought that this was a great start to the season of Lent. We got lots of time to think about what deed or challenge we would take on throughout Lent. So after a great day we were all prepared for the season to come!

Today was Ash Wednesday. We went to church and sang some hymns, got the ashes on our foreheads, sung happy birthday to a little girl starting school on her birthday! We then went up and got a blessing.

We did make an attempt to keep our ashes on our foreheads, but that was a fail due to swimming and itching it off. We had a good day and hope everyone else did to.

On Wednesday the school attended Ash Wednesday mass. When room 6 entered the church it was almost dead silent (which is unusual for the school because we are usually so loud).  Everything in mass was covered in purple to represent that Lent has started.The first hymn the school sang together was Ashes. Father asked the volunteers to spread ashes in the shape of the cross on everybody's foreheads. It was a wonderful mass thank you Father for leading it.
