James Russell

On Wednesday last week we had a visit from the kiwi author James Russell. He told us the story about how he got a hunting knife for his wedding and ended up severing a nerve in his hand while trying to cut to frozen crumpets. He also read us some of his dragon defenders book.

Chess Power

A while ago we had the chess power tournament  it was like a normal tournament but it was individual scores instead of team scores and you can earn badges I earned the sneaky knight and the triple queens badge and Good shepherd 1 came fourth!

Water Cleaning Experiment.

On Friday the 7th June Good Shepherd had a visit from one of the people from water safety. They taught us about the stages of water purification that happen at the water care station, the first stage is sifting, they get sifts and they sift the dirt, leaves and other big stuff out of the water. Two the get get noodle like things with really really really small holes that suck out the germs called a membrane. Three they put gas chlorine in the water which kills all the smaller germs which can get through membrane And that is how they make river water into drinking water.

R.E comic

A few weeks ago in religious education we made comics showing someone getting tempted and then the Holy Spirit making them do good. Mine was about a turtle called Greg because why not?. In the story Greg gets tempted but is then fired because he and his employer disagreed on what 9+10 is so then the holy spirit comes and Greg is good again!
