Room 6's Assembly

Last, last week Room 6 performed their assembly. Our main entertainment was a drama circle on occupations. We also displayed our mixed media we made in term 2. Some people also shared about what they put on their art and why. We all had so much fun preparing and presenting our assembly.

Here are some pictures of our assembly:

Egg Sitting

Last week, we did egg sitting. Egg sitting was frustrating for some people, but it was fun for the other majority. Egg sitting is all part of the "Keeping Ourselves Safe" program. We all acted like the egg was the baby. The instructions were to keep it safe, and to not crack it. When people got their egg, they were pretty eggcited. And when it was near the end of egg sitting, people were pretty eggravated and tired of taking care of their eggs.

Famous People In The Early Church

Last week, we learned about famous people that helped Paul and people in the Early Church(his real name was Saul)spread the word of God. My group's poster was about Peter. He was a fisherman and he was the first apostle that was chosen by Jesus.

Here are some facts that were not on the poster. Some of them might be on the poster. 

-Peter's friends were tormented by the Roman Emperor Nero.

-Peter was a fisherman.

-Jesus chose Peter because the name "Peter" meant rock or stone, which Jesus said that he will build his church on the rock.

Paul's Journeys

Today we learnt about Paul's Journeys. Paul went to many different places to spread the word of God. Before he went to spread the word, he was scared to come out, but then he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then he went to spread the word. But on the way there were people that helped him. There was Luke, who was found at Troas, Lydia who sold purple dye, was found at Phillipi. Then they found Aquila and Priscilla at Corinth. Then he stopped the journey,  because he went to Jerusalem and got caught spreading the word for his beliefs. 

Book Week

GSS Book Week 2019

Room 6 was hungry for books during our book week. We had a whole week celebrating all things books. We had author visits from Stu Duval and James Russell. Stu presented workshops on storytelling, cartooning and writing. James shared his books and told us stories. We did lots of cool book week activities in class like making dust jacket covers, wanted posters, bookmarks and story cubes. Finally our favourite day arrived, Friday. We got to dress up as our favourite characters and partake in the literacy treasure hunt. Overall book week is a fantastic week every year. Room 6 LOVES BOOK WEEK!
