Year 5 and 6: Piece of the Puzzle

In Room 6 we are all a piece of the puzzle. There are 29 students and we each complete our puzzle. Without one of us we would not be Room 6. During the second week of school (once the year 6 were back from camp) we spent time learning about each other and completing our piece of the puzzle. We learnt that we are all different and unique made in the image of God. But we also learnt that sometimes people need a little helping hand to make learning fair. Check out our pieces of the puzzle in Room 6 Foyer to learn more about each of us. 

“It’s always the small pieces that make the big picture.”

Year 6 Leadership Role

This year I am proud to take on the role of Vice Chairperson. I look forward to this role because I really want to see how the school council works and I really looked forward to work with the Chairperson and the Secretary.

Year 6 Camp - Leadership

Year 6 Camp - Leadership

While the rest of the school was sleeping, enjoying their last day of the school holidays the year six were awake grabbing the last of their essential camp items. Stuffing the cars full of luggage we hit the road making our way up to MERC, Long Bay Beach for the annual Year 6 Leadership Camp. It was a fun, busy and hot week with lots of activities and things to do. There was so much to do with out amazing instructors and helpers, activities like paddle boarding, archery, abseiling, kayaking, rock
climbing, giants ladder, stack’em and the list goes on. After the camp day we had plenty to do at night with the camp mass, school council voting, the talent quest and even a spooky game of spot light.

My two favourite activities were: Archery and Abseiling.

The First Candle

On Monday, the special characters led whole school prayers because of Advent. After Prayers, the First Purple Advent Candle was lit. There are three purple candles and one pink one. There is only one pink candle because it symbolizes that Jesus is born and it's Christmas.

St Peter's Orchestra

Last week, we had the St Peter's Symphonic Orchestra play at our school. They played lots of songs for us. My favourite one was the James Bond theme. I liked the James Bond theme because it was very funky.

There were lots of types of instruments. Like Brass, Woodwind and String Instruments.

Sports Assembly

Last week, it was the sports assembly. It was so long, it dug into our home time. The first one was the Year 5 and 6 Kapa Haka group. I was in it. The songs we performed were 

Te Himene O Te Hepara Pai, Te Aroha, Tika Tonu which was the Haka and the Hareruia. We also did this at the Eden Albert/ Rocket park Cultural Festival. Then after a long time, there was the Irish Dancers.  Then it was home time. 

Christmas Tree Ornament

On Friday 30th of November, we made a Christmas ornament. We made Christmas Ornaments to hang up on our Christmas tree.  Here's a secret. Sometimes when we make Christmas Ornaments, some   adults say they'll keep it, but then they throw it in the bin. 

Don't tell or ask your Mum or Dad if they do that! 

We made Christmas Ornaments shaped like birds.  This is mine. It's not finished yet. :(
