Fo Guang Shan Temple Trip

On Tuesday 24th May, the senior school students visited Fo Guang Shan Temple in Botany. The focus for this trip was about building positive relationships and raising awareness of different cultures in our community.  

We learnt about 3G, which is quite like our school values.  3G stands for doing good deeds, saying kind words and thinking good thoughts.




Here is Ali's explanation about 3G and 4G.

3g and 4g

3g and 4g is good to do in your daily life. 3g is when you say good words, do good deeds and think good thoughts. 4g is when you give others confidence, joy and convenience.

Doing good deeds is when you help people in need. Helping people when they fall over and opening the door for adults when they are coming. Also you could do the dishes for your mum.

Saying good words is when you use your manners and say thank you and welcome. Also, you can make compliments.You should never talk back to your elders in a bad way.

Thinking good thoughts is when you always think on the bright side and always think positively. When someone is sad you could cheer them up by telling them a good thought. When someone thinks that they’re going to fail tell them that they can do it.

In conclusion, you should remember 3g and 4g because you will have a good and positive life. Plus little kids will look up to you and follow your role modeling.

Character Descriptions

We have been learning to write character descriptions that focus on internal and external traits. Have a read of some of our descriptions about Shrek.

SHREK

Shrek is an ogre, with fat green skin and trumpet ears. His clothes

are old and ripped, like a soldier after war. Sure he has kind looks, but the second you step in his swamp, you’ll scram from his anger management issues, and he will destroy you. Inside he’s gross and cranky with a selfish attitude. He’s clumsy and doesn’t clean up his belongings, which makes him a big mess. He absolutely HATES

everyone and he is sort of mature when it comes to what he laughs at. He is feared by most of the people, and has no respect for any of them. Though he is lucky he was able to get out of many tough situations. He loves his wife and kids even though his attitude isn’t the one of a caring person, a family man, as a green bean in soup.

Shrek

Shrek is as fat as a pig. He’s lazy and he only likes quiet. He gets as angry as a teacher yelling at you. He is as dirty as a week old mud bath.He thinks mad baths are relaxing . He has green skin and trumpet shaped ears. He wears the same clothes every day. He smells and he has a friend named donkey. He annoys shreck as much as your brother and sister annoy you.

SHREK

Shrek is a lazy careless boring ogre. He is loud when donkey is annoying him, but he is a quiet ogre when he is relaxed. Shrek loves to have a long mud bath. In his mud bath he loves to splash.When Shrek is done in his mud bath he loves to get changed into his old, ragged dark brown top and his same old pale brown pants. Shrek has pale brown teeth, skinny trumpet ears and dark green skin. In his spare time Shrek loves to play with his kids. Shrek loves his wife fiona and his kids to bits. Shrek lives in a small little cottage.

Buddy Class

This term we have began working with our buddy class, room AS1 in the year ones.  We are supporting the year 1 buddies with tasks, reading with them and teaching them new games.  It is a great time for room 20 students to step up and be role models to the younger children of the school.

 
 
 
 
 

Road Safety Week

This week is Road Safety Week.  On Thursday the whole school went on a GIANT WALK around the block to practise being safe when walking next to roads.  Room 20 supported their buddy class and gave them lots of great tips along the way.
