Cross country

At Good Shepherd we did cross country. There was a lot of cheering, a lot of helping. I felt so happy when I finished the race. I trained so hard thanks to Miss Dyer. Lot's of people were shouting my name and cheering me on. When my cousin Seihara almost finished the race all the year six girls got up on their knees and ran with her except for me I was so proud of my cousin and everyone who did cross country. I had such an amazing race.
Thank you Miss Dyer for helping me with the race.

My country poster

In Rm 5 we did a country poster. We got to choose which country we wanted to research, I researched China. Did you now that China's population is 1.42 billion? I learnt a lot of cool and crazy things about China. Every website I'm on it has things that I didn't know about. I hope I get to do another country and learn more about different cultures again.

Celery Expirement

In RM8 we did a science expirement. The science expirement was about celery with food coloring and so if we put celery with food coloring and the food coloring will soak up and the celery will turn different colors. Mrs Drummond took six cups and filled them up with water and put a lot of red and blue food coloring. And then we put in the celery and so we had to wait for three hours. Three hours later it was time to see if it worked and it worked the celery turned blue and red. I enjoyed the science expirement.

My Pepeha

In class we had to write a Maori pepeha. I wrote mine in Cook Island Maori because that's my culture.

O-o-o-a
Tera pa-ia I te Uru Awatea
Te tahirihiri-ra it te motu o Arai-Ava

Kia orana tatou katotoa
ite aroa maa'ta o to tatou Atu, Iesu Mesia 

Ko Stephen Haydon taku papa
Ko Jane Rairi Matangi taku mama
Nga maunga Te-Manga me Ikurangi
Ko Moanui-O-kiwi taku moana
Ko Allessandra Eden Toreka Haydon taku ingoa. 

Anzac Day

In Rm 5 we did an Anzac pamphlet. Mrs Drummond had some photos , Badges , Newspaper and more. We partnered up with buddies and choose what stories we wanted to know. I partnered up with Emelia. Our information was about Middleton Beckett, the youngest man in war. He was eighteen when he was in war and then he died when he was nineteen. We will remember those who have passed away.

Growth Mindset

In Rm 5 we have been working on Growth Mindset. Mrs Drummond gave us different parts of a sheet and put them together to make a brain that says Growth Mindset. On the sheets we wrote what we were  struggling with. We never give up and keep trying. We had so much fun doing it and colouring part of the brain. We put them together to make a brain and displayed it in our class.

In Peace and Unity at Zayed College for Girls

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Peace, Mercy and Blessings of God be upon you

An invitation to join Zayed College for Girls in Peace and Unity. This is one of the schools my mum works in.  

In the Entrance of the hall was a Wall of Hope where we could leave messages In Peace and Unity

 My cousin Seihara and I left messages of blessings and comfort

Sister schools from around Auckland City sent messages of love to Zayed. I saw messages from Baradene and Dio

 Inside the school hall the students at Zayed had displayed a heart of messages for the 50 who had died in Christchurch.

Me and Seihara will be on 3 news tonight
