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.

Ocean poster

In reading Room Five made posters about the five different oceans. The Arctic Ocean, The Pacific Ocean, The Atlantic Ocean, The Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean. On the posters there had to be... the deepest point, the oceans name, the area , your name, where its located and five different animals that only live there. An example of this, is my poster.

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.

Maori art

This term for art we have been doing Maori art based on Peter Gossage. I did my picture on the sun in Maui and the sun. This is the original picture.This is my picture.Give me a rating 1-10

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.
