Do you know the Adsumus prayer?

We are here before you o Holy Spirit

We feel the burden of our weaknesses

But come together in your name

Come to us, assist us what we must do,

Show us the path to follow,

May you yourself accomplish what you ask of us,

May you be the one to inspire and guide our decisions

Because only you, together with God the Father and his son

Who have a holy and glorious name,

You who love order and peace,

Do not let righteousness be harmed by us,

May ignorance not cause us to stray from the right path,

Any affection for others not give rise to favouritism on our part. May neither titles nor people influence us,

Keep us close to you through the gift of your grace,

So that we may be one in you and that we may not draw away from the truth in any matter.

Grant that, gathered together in your holy name,

We may be able to combine goodness with firmness as to do all things in harmony with you.

In the hope that we shall earn, through the faithful fulfillment of our duties, eternal happiness in the future.

Amen.

I learnt how to dodge my defender in Netball!

Learning Intention: We are learning to write a recount.
Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I record my recount of our second Netball session using Blabberize.

On Friday 13th of May, Room 7 played Netball on the top court with our coach Tina and her new assistant coach Lisa. This week we learned how to dodge, we learned it so that when we are playing Netball, we would be able to get past our defenders. We also played a game in the last five minutes and Tina gave all of us a number. When Tina shouted out our number, we had to run to grab a ball and pass it to every single person on our team. Once we have passed it to everyone in our team, we ran to the hoop and tried to shoot in a goal. Whoever shoots in a goal, got a point for their team. The other team won but I wasn't mad about it because everyone tried their best. Soon the next class came, we all put our hands in and gave our class a cheer. Then we said, "Thank you!" and happily bounced back to class. I wonder what skills we will learn next week

What is your Taonga?

On the 7th of April, Mrs Taihia Brown and Siliga from Art Learning Space came to Room 7 to teach us art. We made a brainstorm about the meaning of Taonga. Taonga is something important or special to someone. After that, we drew symbols that represented ourselves or something that belongs to us. My symbol was a necklace that my grandpa made as a gift to my family before he died because it is something that my family has kept for a long, long time and it helps us to remember him in our hearts. Mrs Taihia Brown and Siliga soon had to leave but we were all so happy that we learnt something new.
Learning Intention: We are learning to understand the process of making an art piece.
Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I record the steps that we took to create symbols that represent us using Blabberize.
