Water safety slide show

Last year I got invited to help make a funny slideshow called 'water safety'. Ben started making it two or three years ago but'water safety' is almost completely irrelevant to the idea of water safety. Even so here is the slideshow 'water safety'.

Marae Visit

On Wednesday the 28 of august the whole of Good Shepherd school went to the Te Noho Kotahitanga Marae at Unitec. When we got off the busses we had to be welcomed on to the marae with a powhiri before we could actually go on the marae, but once we were welcomed we took off our shoes and entered the wharenui which is the meeting house in Māori. In the wharenui we sat down, finished the powhiri and we sang some Māori songs then we had some food in the wharekai (or eating house), did the haka and left the marae.

Speechs

At Good Shepherd School we have been doing our speech competition. The speech competition started last term when we started writing them. We wrote them for homework. Mine is about (drum roll) 'Why The English Language is stupid'. At first it seemed just OK and that it wouldn't go far, but somehow I managed to get it into the finals!!! 

Update: I managed to (somehow) come third place

Egg sitting

In the second half of term two we did keeping ourselves safe. Keeping Ourselves Safe is basically a course telling you what to do if people are showing you inappropriate images and stuff like that. For a particular lesson we had to keep an egg alive for four days and we had to keep them with us all the time. But it was harder than you think I was going to play some trumpet to my egg (who was called Fredrick.) BUT I tripped on my sisters toy shark (called fin soup) Fredrick was in a egg cup inside a extremely padded sistema container dropped the container and Fredrick DIED. luckily Fredrick wasn't a baby.

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!

On Monday the 28 of January the year 6's from good shepherd went to M.E.R.C. Which abbreviates for marine education and reserve center for one whole week.
