Our Assembly!

On Friday Room 5 did their assembly. It was about stereotypes and not to judge others by what they look like, their gender and their religions. We did a dance to a song called Individuality. We also did a play. We did different conversations about people saying things that aren't always true. In my part, I went to ask some boys if I can play soccer with them. After someone says I can't because I am a girl but that is not true. Our assembly was really fun and I am sad that I will never do one again.

On Friday Room 5 did their assembly. Our theme was Anzac day. We did a play called "My Granddad Marches on Anzac Day". In the play I was a seagull. We also did a dance to a song called Maori Battalion. We also had a cake raffle. Annika was the one who won it. It was really fun practising and performing our Assembly.😆😋

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.

Room 6 presented their learning about not being a bystander at their assembly on Friday week 3. In week 3 all school around New Zealand made a stand by wearing pink. PINK stood for Peaceful, Inclusive, Noble and Kind. Our assembly was a success and we all had fun.
