By Aidan
I am learning to write a procedural text for our audience to follow.
Materials:
A piece of bubblegum, Hubba Bubba
Mouth
Step 1: Take one piece of Hubba Bubba grape gum and unwrap the gum
Step 2: Place the gum into your mouth and make sure the wrapper goes into the bin.
Step 3: Bite down on the gum, pushing the gum to one side of your mouth
Step 4: Chew until gum is stretchy
Step 5: Wrap the gum around your tongue
Step 6: Push your tongue through the gum but don't make a hole in the gum
Step 7: Seal your mouth and blow and a bubble should appear

Visual Arts
In Term 2 our Visual Arts focused was on Mixed Media. We finally finished our pieces of art at the end of the term. We started off by creating two hands, most of us copied our own hands as templates. One hand represents our past and the other hand our future. We used lots of different materials and symbols to make our artwork as well as exploring a range of different techniques with watercolor paint. This is my art work.

Hockey
On Friday we had so much fun with Sport NZ as they came in to teach us hockey. We got to do warm up and drills with the hockey sticks and played against each other in teams. We are already looking forward to next Friday’s session. Here are a couple of pictures:
St Mary Mackillop Feast 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 traveled 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.
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.
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.
Assembly Term 3
Last week Room 6 performed their assembly. Our main entertainment was a drama circle on occupations. We also displayed our mixed media we made in term 2. Some people also shared about what they put on their art and why. We all had so much fun preparing and presenting our assembly.
