Mini BB Fair

Yesterday we had the Mini BB Fair. At the fair there was baking and books. That's basically what BB stands for. There was so much baking there and most of them were so sweet which kind of gave me a sugar rush. After that I went straight to go look at the books but sadly I didn't buy any I really only bought baking goods.So after all of that the day ended and I had a lot of fun.

R.E. Play

Today we created a play for R.E.. This play was based of the story of Abraham and Sarah. At this time God called out to them and asked them to leave their country and go to the empty land of Canaan. But still even after many years there was no child until one day God sent angels in disguise to make them believe in God and they did. A while after they finally had a child and they named him Isaac.   

Grandparents Mass

Last week we had our school's Grandparents Mass. The school's parish was filled with people especially grandparents. A short while after the mass there was food available for purchase. I bought 2 cookies, a sausage and a sushi. When I finished eating I went straight to my schools turf to play basketball. After that there were performances by the Irish dancing, choir and the ukulele group. Needless to say it was a good day.            

The turtle and the shark

 
This is the slideshow that my partner Joey and I made. This slideshow is on a legend called the Turtle and the Shark It is mainly about 2 women whose family is running out of food so they get to work and make it themselves. Shortly after they find a new island and the owner even decided to let them live under the ocean in the form of a Turtle and a Shark. 

Prodigy

Not that long ago we started this new online maths game called Prodigy. Here's 

a basic summary of the game: it's basically Pokemon but you have to answer 

maths questions to use your special moves in battles. Playing this game is a real challenge and anyone who plays it is guaranteed to learn a thing or two.  I like it because I have learned more about symmetry and fractions.

Chess tournament

last week on Wednesday Me and a whole group of chess players went to represent our school at the Auckland chess championship. I guess that we all got cocky especially after the first round where all of us won our games. But as the day goes on I managed to lose 2 games in a row. For me all hope was lost until the 4th round where I managed to power through and win a short while later I was on a winning streak. Everything changed our team ended up coming 3rd and individually for my board I somehow ended up coming second. Even though I wasn't at school to learn I learned one thing and that was teamwork.

Maths Poster

This is the maths poster that my friend Nathaniel and I made together. It is all about addition so instead of just simply giving you math questions straight, we used some vocabulary and we made some rather challenging math questions to give the students in Room 8 a nice challenge for their minds.
I enjoyed this because I taught myself some new things about addition vocabulary.

Mary Mackillop

This is the painting I created by myself for the feast of St Mary Mackillop. She is the founder of our school and a person who will be remembered in the history of Good Shepherd . She was born on the 15th of January 1842 and she lived a happy long life. Sadly she passed away on the 8th of August 1909 in North Sydney Australia. From just this simple painting I learned so much about her and her life. She was really an amazing woman. R.I.P Mary Mackillop.
