Pieces 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.

Leadership

This year I am proud to take on the role of Chairperson. I look forward to this role because you get to do lots of stuff for the school and help people.

Year 6 Camp

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 Orienteering. I liked archery because it came naturally to me. I also loved orienteering because we got to learn about the history of the park next to MERC.              

Retreat

This week all the year 5 kids went to the year five retreat. We left school at 9:00 am and went to Saint Francis Retreat Centre. When we got there we went straight to the Fireplace Room. Where we learnt what we were going to do for the day. First, we got a leaf and we had to find a matching leaf. Then in groups, we did a treasure hunt but the twist was that we all had to hold onto some cloth for the entire hunt but my team won and we left Saint Francis retreat centre at 2:00.pm and I loved the retreat.                                                                                                                                                          

Graduation Mass

Yesterday in school we had Graduation mass. It was about 2&1/2 hours long. It was quite sad for me because so many of my friends are leaving this year 😭. The year sixes performed a dance it was really good. Afterwards, I went to the morning star and there I met Otis.T, Molly.F, Maggie and Liam we all shared each other's food we played some tag and then we parted ways. 

Sherbet!!

This week in school we did a sherbet experiment where we got to make sherbet but we had to eat straight baking soda first and it tasted like rotten fish. We also had to eat citric acid tartaric acid and icing sugar. My best sherbet combo was 1&1/2 teaspoon of TA 2&1/2 IS 1 CA and 1 BS. Some other people did straight icing sugar and straight baking soda😧. And that was the sherbet experiment.

persuasive

This week in school we did persuasive writing. Here is mine:

 Why The New Star Wars Movies Are Trash!

So Star Wars, you probably know about it. It is definitely the best sci-fi movie series ever. But here's my argument why the newer movies are trash.

Firstly Snoke the all-powerful and mysterious leader of the First Order. We know almost nothing about him he is the most mysterious character ever like, who is he? is he old? is he human? So do you think Snoke should be more mysterious or have more origin?

Secondly, the plot has holes like where did the first order get all there funding to make there ships and weapons like Star-killer base and why did the New Republic demilitarize.

 Lastly, every character is a copy of another character Rey= Luke, because Rey lives on a desert planet find a droid and saves the day. Poe = Leia, because Poe sends a droid with information to a desert planet and gets captured by the Sith. Finn=Han because he rescues Poe/Leia from the sith leaves the good guys comes back at the last second and helps save the day.

So in conclusion now you must hate the new Star Wars movies.

So you must like my work now.
