Algebra

In room six we have been learning algebra. It has been very fun and I have learnt lots.

EATING EDIBLE INSECTS

I.A.L.T Persuade my audience into eating insects.

By Lucy

Imagine putting a meal worm fry into your mouth at dinner time. I know what you might be thinking, “Ew! Yuck! That's so gross!” but did you know that 98% of people actually end up liking insects. I think everyone should eat and cook with bugs. There are many reasons why you should eat bugs. You can make many different meals that are fun and tasty.

Yum, yum, tasty treats, I bet you love lollies, chocolate and cookies but probably not with bugs in them. Do you know that there are such things as scorpion lollipops, grasshopper cake, ginger cricket cookies and wax worm tacos. You might be thinking that you will never eat a bug. But if you have had canned food you have probably eaten a maggot. There is maggots in pizza sauce and in drained mushrooms. There are lots of tasty treats you can make so get stuck in and enjoy some creative cooking with bugs.


Is your family picky and doesn't like what you make? Well, why not bring the taste back into your meal and have some creative cooking ideas with bugs. Like carrot buffalo worm soup, deep fried tarantulas and a worm salted margarita drink to go with your delicious insects. Did you know that there are over 1,900 species of bugs you can eat and put into your meals. They are not just delicious but there are fun ways to cook with them so they are healthy for you.

Do you want to be healthy but don’t know what to eat? Well did you know that bugs are high in protein and low in fat. They can also reduce obesity. Reports shows that bugs have the same amount of (if not more) nutrients as commonly consumed meat. Crickets, beetles and grasshoppers are one of the many different bugs that are good for you.

In conclusion I think that you should cook and eat with bugs. There are many awesome recipe ideas that taste amazing and you don’t have to worry about being unhealthy. I strongly think that you should cook or try an insect today.

Year book

NEWS FLASH! The New Good Shepherd Yearbook for 2018 is here! Take a look at all the work we’ve done this year. What a year we had. Take a look!

Irish Dancing

The day had finally arrived after lot and lots of practice. A group of kids from good shepherd did an Irish dancing performance. I did the three hand with Eva and Sarah. It was a fun way to celebrate the Irish Culture.   

Prayers

Week 5 and 6 were busy for Room 6 we presented our assembly in week 5 and had whole school prayers on Monday, Week 6. Our theme for prayers was community, compassion, and discipleship. This was inspired as we approach christmas and start to think about others and those who are in need of help. Our Reading was 1 John 3:16-18, we also presented a song that we put lyrical dances moves to our song was: So will I, by Hillsong. This is the song: So will I.

Kapa Haka

Mana, power and pride would be a few words to describe the feeling as the Good Shepherd School Kapa Haka group took the stage. During the weekend a large group of year 5 and 6 students took to the stage to perform at the Eden Albert Cultural Festival. There were a few nerves before we started but once we were underway the excitement of performing kicked in. We felt proud as a team to perform for so many people. Kia Kaha! The highlight of Kapa Haka for me was the was being up on the stage singing with my friends

Athletics

The harder the battle the sweeter the victory!

All of Good Shepherd School piled into buses as we headed to Three Kings Fields for the annual Athletics Day event. We had been training for weeks and we were ready to take on our peers and to compete for a placing. The events were running, long jump, high jump, discus and shot put. My favorite event was Long Jump because I was good a it and came first.

Assembly

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Week 5 was non stop for Room 6 with athletics, kapa haka and Irish dancing. But it was also our final assembly for the year, and for some of us our final assembly at Good Shepherd School. This was the perfect time for us to share some of our talents and learning. We had been focusing on New Zealand music through our passport tasks so it was only fitting to pick a kiwi classic; Six Months in a Leaky Boat by Split Enz (written in 1982). We sung along to the words and put some of groovy moves together to create a dance. Throughout the year one of our favorite activities was reading Chris Gurney’s books during book week. Chris has written so many wonderful and humorous traditional tales with a kiwi voice. We absolutely adore her books, so for our assembly we presented a Readers Theater: Trev and the Kauri Tree.

Mother Teresa

Communion of saints

In room six we have been learning about the Communion of saints. With the tape we got raped together to show how we are all saints on earth, in purgatory and in heaven.It was very fun I loved it.

Travelwise

My favourite was the scavenger hunt. We got free things like a hat ,ice cream and a silver  award. It was so much fun. 😀
