Escape from Kraznir

This term room 5 have been writing a fantasy story called "Escape from Kraznir". It is about a group of spies trying to steal a bunch of battle plans because one city (Kraznir) is planning to attack another city (Slinsil)! The spies go through numerous amounts of challenges and only a few may come out alive.... It has been really  fun writing and creating our story! 

Shrove Tuesday!

Today was "Shrove Tuesday" we made pancakes and burned the palms for "ash Wednesday" Shrove Tuesday is a part of lent. When we made the pancakes we made them with the juniors/yr 0&1. To make pancakes you will need: 

• Butter
• Flour 
• Milk 

First you mix the flour and milk together !

Then you put a small or big (depending on the size of pan) piece of butter on the pan to melt! (so the pancake doesn't stick)

After that you poor the pancake mixture in the pan.

Soon once your pancake has been cooked, you eat and enjoy!😁

swimming sports

At Good Shepherd school we had swim sports at West Wave pools, we came by bus and went by bus. the first races were competitive: backstroke, freestyle, and breaststroke. I competed in competitive freestyle, and breaststroke. I didn't come either 1st, 2nd or 3rd but that's okay I've always got next year. Anyway after competitive there was non-competitive races: dolphin dive, freestyle, and water walk, I'm in Blake (the blue house) and I was cheering for Blake so loudly that at the end of the day my throat was hoarse! Swimming sports was really fun, and I can't wait until next year's swim sports!  

sun smart poster

                                   Sun Smart Poster

  Today room 5 was talking about health and protecting our skin from the sun. We talked about it, then Mrs Drummond sent us off in groups of three and four to create a Sun Smart Poster.  We added facts and pictures, but most importantly we need to remember to slip, slop, slap, wrap and slide

• Slip on some sunglasses
• Slop on some sunscreen
• Slap on a hat
• Wrap on a t-shirt
• And slide into the shade

If you don't do these things you can get badly sun burnt and you can get skin cancer which can be very painful. So remember be sun smart!=)

The first 2 weeks of school!

This week is one of the first weeks of a very, very, very, long year! I don’t know if it’s going to be a fun or boring year, but so far the short two weeks I have been back at G.S.S I guess I have been having fun so that tells me a lot about Mrs Drummond, she loves having fun! And that is definitely a good thing👍! Anyway I’m here today to tell you about my awesome two weeks that I have recently been in having in Good Shepherd!


So far, in my couple of weeks back at school we have been doing a lot of "get to know you" activities as well as stories about our summer holidays. We also did a fair bit of art, I really liked doing the Maori art ( although it took quite a bit of time ). I also liked learning new apps of games, e.g prodigy, epic, and freckle. Rm 5 is the best class by far and away!
