During Term Three, room six worked hard with Miss Gleeson to create an advert about an everyday  object. Every Tuesday in the middle block we would film, edit and make billboards which would get marked on a rubric. We worked hard on this and we hope you like it.

Wizards - Shark Poster

In room 6 the wizards (a reading group) made posters with information on sharks, by writing up facts we found from a range of sources.  We read articles, we searched the library and we also used the internet.  We read and transferred this knowledge into our own ideas and typed out the facts and things we found important.  We printed them out and stuck them onto our posters or sharks we drew and painted. Some of us also made fish to put on and decorate. Here is a picture some of posters about sharks.  Come and check them out in room 6. 

Ash wednesday Mass

Todays post was written by Abbie

On Wednesday the 5^th March Good Shepherd School had a whole school Ash Wednesday Mass to celebrate Ash Wednesday.

At the Mass our priest was Father Linus and he hosted the mass. On this occasion all our families and friends were invited to come and celebrate with us for this special day.

At the mass the priest and some other special people put the ashes on our forehead in the shape of the cross to represent the period of lent for when Jesus was in the desert for 40 days while fasting.

This mass also welcomed all the new students and staff to the school and presented them with a special candle.    

World Happiness Day

Today post was written by Abbie

On Thursday 20^th March 2014 Room 6 had a whole school party for World Happiness Day and everyone was invited.

In the morning we put the song ‘Happy’ on in our class to celebrate. We danced all morning before school had even started it was so fun.

For prayers in Room 6 we also sang and danced around the class listening to the happy song, and we declared it the first official World Happiness Day for Good Shepherd School! We even did a minute of just laughing. It was an incredible way to start the day, what a happy day it was.

Persuasive Writing - Cooking with Insects

                                                                  Tasty Treats

           How do you like your insects? Is it crunchy, steamed, stewed, sprinkled or melted? I am a world famous chef and have been cooking with insects for many years, I think they are delicious in any recipe. I recommend that you have them in every meal every day.

           Did you know that in lots of different cultures they eat bugs and I think we should bring it into the New Zealand culture. We could try new recipes like Scorpion Stew, Ant Ice cream, Cockroach and Raisin Bread or even Fly Pancakes. I think we should eat these recipes every day.

           Lots of insects are edible like Mealworms, Crickets, Weevils and heaps more, that means that you can try lots of different bugs and what they taste like. Most insects that are edible are really delicious and are a great food for everyone to eat, so you should have them in every meal because they are such a tasty treat for you and your family.

           Many edible insects maybe delicious but are also low in fat and rich in vitamins, so not only will you have a delicious meal you will have a healthy meal too. Also, insects are in a lot of tasty recipes, you can experiment and make recipes of your own using some of your favourite bugs. Everyone should experiment cooking with insects.

           As you can see bugs are a delicious, healthy low in fat and rich in vitamins tasty treat. I strongly believe that you should definitely eat insects every day because they are good for you. If you eat insects your body will love you for it because you will lose weight and your taste buds will love you forever because they are such a delicious treat.
