Samoan Language Week

The children in Room 1 and 2 have celebrated Samoan Language week at Good Shepherd School! We began our week with our whole school prayers that surrounded the Trinity-The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We also learnt how to make the Sign of the Cross in Samoan. Uiti and Mrs Fala helped us all! During our prayers we placed some Samoan patterned cloth and Josie even brought us some lovely fresh flowers from her garden. 


Our Big Book this week was called Lavalava. We all got to write about where we would wear our Lavalava. We really enjoyed learning some Samoan words, including the fruits and vegetables! This linked in very well with our healthy eating inquiry.

Fa'afetai! Thank you

The Holy Spirit

In Room 1 & 2 this week, we have been learning about the special thing that the sign of the cross teaches us about God. There are three persons in God-The Father, Son and Holy Spirit-these are all God! We are trying to see and feel the Holy Spirit in others.

The Ascension of Jesus

Last week we got ready for Ascension Sunday-Jesus leaving his disciples on Earth so that he could go and prepare a place in heaven for each of them, and of course us! The children were excited to act out the Gospel and retell it in their own words with a buddy. Ms Scanlan also helped us to create our Ascension Mural that shows all of us in Room 1 & 2 looking up into the clouds at Jesus. The children are more than happy to retell this special Gospel to you!

Learning about the Holy Spirit

In Room 1 & 2, we begun the term by learning about the Holy Spirit. This is a very tricky concept as the Holy Spirit cannot be seen, but we can feel it and see it in ourselves and others! Just like a balloon is filled with our warm breath, the Holy Spirit fills us with love, joy and peace that we can share with everybody. The Holy Spirit is God, just like Jesus is God. Room 1 and 2 children were able to think of some ways that the Holy Spirit (God) works in them.
