Student Teacher

On Monday we got a student teacher! Everyone was very excited and could not wait to meet her. Her name is Miss Johnson; she has been working with groups in reading, writing, and maths. She has also helped us with doing plays and little things around the place. We have had her for two days now and she has been very nice.

Kia Kaha

For the last two weeks Room 9 have been learning about Kia Kaha, which means to be brave and strong, and stand up for yourself. Children and young people should be encouraged to believe in themselves, their qualities and their abilities and to stand up for themselves so that they will not become victims of bullying. Today we role played a bullying scenario with a positive outcome. We hope you enjoy our videos.

First Holy Communion Celebration

At the end of First Holy Communion Mass we celebrated in the hall. There was lots of food and drinks. The people that received their First Holy Communion got to sit at special tables on stage and eat and celebrate together. At the end Father cut the delicious cake that Sharon made. It was such a wonderful day with lots of special memories. Congratulations First Holy Communion students of 2014.

First Holy Communion

On Sunday 7th September some Good Shepherd students celebrated their First Holy Communion. This means that they can receive the Eucharist, which represents the body and blood of Jesus. The whole school came and it was a glorious day. The girls wore pretty dresses and the boys were dressed smartly.

Sushi

Sushi is our class pet. We all have turns looking after Sushi. He is a fish, we feed him twice a day. Everyone was excited when Vanessa told us she wrote a letter to Mrs Hahn and said we were allowed Sushi. But Mrs Suggate said if something happens to him we have to clean it up. Now Anija is asking if we are allowed another pet fish, the bad thing is we don’t know what gender Sushi is!!! Dun dun dun!!!

We love Sushi he is really cool and the lucky thing is that were the only class that has a class pet YAY!!! Hopefully.

Life Education

On Wednesday RM9 went to see Ben at the life education truck.  He taught us about the Head Hassler and the Mind Master. These are imaginary thoughts in our head. The Head Hassler gives us bad thoughts and the Mind Master gives us good thoughts. Then we started watching a video about a boy called Jake Clark. In this video Jake gets bullied and his Head Hassler gives him really annoying thoughts like ‘this will be happening for the rest of your life’. We learnt we should always listen to our Mind Master when things get tough in life.  At the end he gave us some work of drawing our own Mind Master and Head Hassler. It was awesome!!!

Family Fridays Week 8 Term 1

Last Friday we had our very first "Family Fridays," where a parent comes in on a Friday and shares something special with us. Room 9 would love to thank Susan for coming in and reading a fantastic book to us called Oh, the Places You'll Go! By Doctor Seuss and preparing an awesome PowerPoint quiz for us to answer. Thanks for all of your hard work and effort.  It was so much fun! 

Oral Language Week

We just had a fantastic oral language week in writing where Room 9 started a new writing topic called persuasive writing. Mrs Suggate taught us lots of drama activities where we practiced our persuasive language skills. We also learnt how to memorize a persuasive piece of writing using a text map. A text map is a map of pictures that helps you remember words. By learning an excellent piece of persuasive writing, it will help us write brilliant advertisements.

Room 9's Secret Agent Goals

At the beginning of the year Room 9 dressed up as secret agents and made a secret agent profile name with details about themselves. This secret agent profile also included a goal they wanted to work on for the year. There were heaps of creative names and the students all chose goals that had something to do with a curriculum area they wanted to improve on. Keep working hard on your goals room 9! From Mrs Suggate.
