Room 6's Whole School Prayers

On Monday the 5th of August Room 6 hosted whole school prayers. Our theme was The Gift of Faith. We did a song called ‘Open the Eyes of My Heart’ and Jiwoo, Zara and Maggie made hand actions for us. There were also people who did the prayers of the faithful. Overall prayers was a big success and everyone enjoyed it.

Here is a picture of our Prayers:

Saint Mary Mackillop Day

Another celebration for Good Shepherd School in Week 3 was the Feast Day of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop. St Mary MacKillop a vital part of Good Shepherd School, this is because she was the founder of the Josephites aka the Brown Joes. The Brown Joes travelled all over Australia and New Zealand helping the poor and those in need. They built schools and that is how we are all students at Good Shepherd School. We celebrated the Feast day by going to a Mass for St Mary of the Cross and also having fun with our buddy class Room 4 as we worked on a St Mary MacKillop Art project.

Cook Island Language Week

Week 3 has been a very busy week with so many celebrations. Good Shepherd School celebrates our multicultural school with our Cook Island Language focus. We looked at the culture through our reading and made fun fact files. We were also lucky to have Alessandra and the cultural leaders teach us a Pure (prayer) to sing.
















We learnt Aro’a mai te Atua iaku. See if you can say/sing this pure too.





Aro’a mai te Atua iaku.


Aro’a mai te Atua iaku


I te au mea taku kite nei


Te anuanua kua iti mai ki roto iaku


Aro’a mai te Atua iaku





My God loves me


My God loves me


And all the wonders I see


The rainbow shines through my window


My God loves me

In room 6 we all did a maths poster.  My group did a poster about long multiplication the equation I did was 6 x 23 we had to do some sentences for example: There was 23 donuts and in it was 6 grams of sugar how many grams of sugar would that be altogether? We all did a amazing job for our maths poster.

Me and my buddy Seihara did Phoebe, Phoebe is a co- worker of Paul and is a deacon, a deacon is a person who works as co-worker or has the role of ministering and preaching within the churches.  We all did a great job doing our posters.
