Mixed Media - Visual Arts

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.

Room 6's prayers



On Monday the 5th of August Room 6 hosted whole school prayers. Our theme was The Gift of Faith. We did a song called ‘Open the Eyes of My Heart’ and Jiwoo, Zara and Maggie made hand actions for us. There were also people who did the prayers of the faithful. Overall prayers was a big success and everyone enjoyed it. 

Here are some pictures of our prayers:


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 


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 are a couple of pictures:
