On Wednesday 28th of August 2019 the whole School went the Unitec Marae to learn about the different parts of a Marae. My Favorite part was when the year six and 5 boys did the Haka.

We also got fed at the Wharekai which is the eating area.

Visual Arts

Title: Mixed Media - Visual Arts
Label: Visual Arts, Mixed Media, Past and present, hands
You hold the future in your hands.
In Term 2 our Visual Arts focused was on Mixed Media. We finally finished our pieces of art at the end of the term. We started off by creating two hands, most of us copied our own hands as templates. One hand represents our past and the other hand our future. We used lots of different materials and symbols to make our artwork as well as exploring a range of different techniques with watercolor paint. This is my art work.

Hokey

On Friday we had so much fun with Sport NZ as they came in to teach us hockey. We got to do warm up and drills with the hockey sticks and played against each other in teams. We are already looking forward to next Friday’s session. Here is a pictures:

Cook Islands

Week 3 has been a very busy week with so many celebrations. Good Shepherd School celebrates our multicultural school with our Cook Island Language focus. We looked at the culture through our reading and made fun fact files. We were also lucky to have Alessandra and the cultural leaders teach us a Pure (prayer) to sing.

We learnt Aro’a mai te Atua iaku. See if you can say/sing this pure too
Aro’a mai te Atua iaku.
Aro’a mai te Atua iaku
I te au mea taku kite nei
Te anuanua kua iti mai ki roto iaku
Aro’a mai te Atua iaku

My God loves me

My God loves me

And all the wonders I see

The rainbow shines through my window

My God loves me
