Acrostic Poem

This week we have been working on acrostic poems. Here is my poem about Christmas

Christmas cheer in the air
Having dinner as a family
Relatives reuniting
Ice creams melting
Smell the scent of pine
Tiny bits of wrapping paper everywhere
Making cards to give out
A truly amazing holiday
Something to look forward to

All Saints Day

Today is All Saints Day. To celebrate we had a whole school mass in the morning to pray for all those who have gone before us. It is a great celebration and I am truly honored to have been able to go to this mass.

Author Visit

The other day we were lucky to have author Anne Kayes into visit 
and tell us about her two books about the tui street kids. This was a wonderful experience to learn about kiwi books. Here are some photos:

senses poem

This week we worked on senses poems in room 6.
Here is one of mine:

I spy my mum and granddad holding a ball of fluff,
A pristine, white, wriggling lump like a giant cream puff
I put out my hand and feel the soft fur,
Immediately I know that i'm going to love her!
Finally I have one! A long anticipated gift!
I grab my dog which is now under my arm,
The fresh smell makes me feel calm.
I put her down and hear her bark,
She runs around like she's at a park
As the day closes in,
And the nights about to begin
I hold my dog tight,
I love her without a fight!

Marae Trip

On Wednesday the 28th of August Good Shepherds School got on four buses and headed off the unitec marae for an unforgettable experience. We were welcomed into the Wharenui (meeting house) where we learnt about some of the carvings and the history of the marae. Then we made our way over to the whare kai for some morning tea. Later we learnt a song and the boys performed a haka. Here are some photos.
