Year Six art

This is the art that every year six including me had to make. I created this with dye as the background and the black paper is to make it a silhouette. But of course not all of them looked like this but still all the other year six's art looked amazing. It took me a while to create this but eventually I did. This was truly enjoyable.

St Peters Symphonic Band

Last week we had St Peters Symphonic band come to our school. They were amazing they really showed us what a real orchestra is like. They even performed all the different types of instruments in the band my personal favourite instrument was the bassoon it is a woodwind instrument. It was really amazing because they played the theme songs for some movies or cartoons for example they played the Pink Panther song and the James Bond theme song. I'm sure that everyone there enjoyed time experiencing St Peters orchestra.

Travelwise

This is the painting I created at the Travelwise event that happened at the cloud. It was amazing we were able to go out into the city and find clues and secret locations I have never even heard of. Then soon after a long day we were finally able to rest. As if the whole day wasn't fun enough all of us got given Ice cream. I really enjoyed all that I experienced. 

Values

This is the Shield that I created for the subject we like to call kiakaha. On this shield I have shown what is special about me and what is special about our class,I have learned a lot about my classroom and our community this experience was very enjoyable and I can't wait to learn more about my class. 

Science

last week we experimented with tweezers and we acted like they were birds' beaks. We practiced using them on skittles and gummy worms. All of us were given different types of tweezers to experiment with. Sadly my type of tweezer only worked on the gummies not the skittles because it was very narrow. But later we were able to eat and enjoy the gummies and skittles. From this project I have learnt all about the different types of way's a birds beak can be used.

Social Justice Week

For the theme of social Justice week everyone in my class created feathers. We each had to write a powerful word on our feathers to show that the good shepherd school community does care about justice. We didn't just do flowers we also did some activities on social justice. Through out this whole week I have learned about the bad things that go on in this word and what we can do to stop it.

Kapa Haka

Last week a group of students including me performed at the Eden Albert cultural festival. We performed many things such as songs and a Haka. We all gave it our all and it really paid off. We all
thought that we did well and we were proud of ourselves. Not long after I just decided to hang out with my friends at Rocket park. I  enjoyed it so much I wouldn't spend my Saturday anywhere else.

World War

Last week my class studied World War one. All of us were given different items from during the war but all of them were replicas of course. I was partnered with another student in my class so we worked together and we found a lot of information on different people during World War one. Eventually we ended up creating a slideshow that you can see right above all this writing. I learnt all about the different people in Word War one and how they lived their lives I enjoyed learning about the war very much.

Athletics

Today we had Athletics day. It was a long day and after a day worth of running, Jumping and throwing. I tried really hard and it paid of in the end I ended up coming 3rd for all my races and for long jump. The day went on and everyone was tired but eventually it all ended and we got back to school nice and safely needless to say it was an enjoyable day.

Reading

During my reading session we were learning all about and artist who only uses the laws of gravity to create his sculptures so that is exactly what we did. The purpose of my sculpture was to make it really high so I can see how high up can an object go for something to fall of it I loved making this sculpture and I can't wait to see what else I can do. If I were to say one thing that I learned from this it would be that I learned more about the laws of gravity.

Calendar art

This is my calendar art that I created for 2019 that's next year by the way depending on what year you are reading this. What I had to do was colour in a piece of art then cut it out into the shape of the sun shining the 2019 was a bonus just so people know what year this was created. I have enjoyed this very much and I cant wait to do more in future.

St Domonic

This is the saint study I did on St Dominic. I have learnt so much about him and how he lived his life and what he did to help others live a good life. He is a very amazing man and all he did to make this world a better place for others is amazing.
I loved learning about St Dominic and in future I hope to learn more about him.

Animal App

This is my Animal app that I created for the great habitat called a Marsh it is a rather sad place that is on the verge of being fully polluted but thanks to some helpful humans this is being stopped. I learned a lot about the animals and how they adapt to their habitat

Cultural Language Week

Last week we had cultural language week the language I learned was Spanish a language I have wanted to learn for a long time we also had to learn a dance called the flaminco we had to perform this on Friday which means we only had a whole week to perform our dance but sadly I was sick on the day of the performance but i'm sure that everyone did well. Within one week i learned so much about the culture of Spain and everything they do to celebrate their life example bull fighting, tomato fighting and family feasts.

Mandarin

Ni Hao! 
Every Friday my class has been taking Mandarin lessons. I have enjoyed this experience very much. I hope to learn a lot more languages in future. Let me show you some of the things that I have learned:
Ni jiao sheme - that is how you say what is your name and my response would be wo jiao Ethan.
Learning Mandarin has been very enjoyable and I cant wait to learn more next term.

Sunday Mass

On Sunday my school's parish had a mass. I was one of the people giving the new students their candle to show them that they are a part of our school community. After the mass the parish priest served everyone chocolate marshmallows in the shape of a fish. I'm sure that everyone enjoyed themselves just as well as me.

Guard of Honor

Recently there has been a priest, Father Pat Ward, who passed away and although none of us knew him very him our school community showed our respect by doing a guard of honor. We all stood along the road of Telford Ave and bowed  our heads down as his body was carried inside a coffin. His coffin was inside a car. So when the car came past we all bowed our heads down to show respect. We even raised the flag that outside of our school for him. It was a sad day but it was also an honorable day.

Digital Fluency

On Thursday 6th of September my friends and I put together a cyber safety play that we presented to our class. The story goes like this: a little boy thinks he is on the phone with his uncle but he is actually on the phone with a professional con man. By gaining the boy's trust the boy tells this man all his personal details. Until this boy's father comes along and tells his son to go to his room and he deals with this problem by himself. From doing this I have learned how to stay safe on the internet and what is right and what is wrong.

Writing Slides

This is my tuatara information report. From doing this I have learned so much about the tuatara's lifespan, habitat and lifestyle. Needless to say I think I learned nearly everything there is to know
about tuataras.

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.
