Multiplication Poster

During maths room six has been working on multiplication posters. My poster is on the question 7 x 0.5. One of my favorite word problems is, if Jimmy made seven "J.J delight" soft serves and they all used 0.5 of a "Jim Bar" chocolate how many "Jim Bar's" would he use?
  

Eden-Albert Cross Country

On the 20th of June, 24 runners aged year 4-6 went to Fowlds Park to represent Good Shepherd at the Eden-Albert Cross Country zones. It was a hard, long race but we all finished it and felt very proud! Lucky for us the weather was perfect! We all left with smiles on our faces and mud on our legs as it was a fun day!

  

GSS Book Week 2019

 Room 6 was hungry for books during our book week. We had a whole week celebrating all things books. We had author visits from Stu Duval and James Russell. Stu presented workshops on storytelling, cartooning and writing.  James shared his books and told us stories. We did lots of cool book week activities in class like making dust jacket covers, wanted posters, bookmarks and story cubes. Finally our favourite day arrived, Friday. We got to dress up as our favourite characters and partake in the literacy treasure hunt.  Overall book week is a fantastic week every year. Room 6 LOVES BOOK WEEK!

Here are some photos from our time:  

My book week character was Clover moon.

Watercare

Water, water everywhere! On Friday of week 6, we were lucky to have Sally from Watercare come to teach us more about the water. We did a drama activity and experiments. Firstly we examined the process that water goes through to become drinkable water in our households. Our drama was based on the process that the water goes through to be cleaned. We were the water going through each stage. We had so much fun as we ventured around the school. Once we learnt how water is cleaned we then had to try and clean the dirty water ourselves. We had to create a filter system in partners. We had to do four different tests for our experiments. We experimented with a range of filters to try and test which filter system was the best.

Cross Country

Good Shepherd School had been busy training for cross country this term and finally the day arrived. In week 6 we all arrived at school in our running gear and had our house colours painted onto us. We were eager and ready to go and win house points. Overall the race was long and required a lot of stamina, but we were prepared. Here are some pictures from our races.
