Poem

Rangitoto

Rangitoto is a Volcano that erupted long ago
And all its lava turned into stone
Look at the sky, look at the ground
When we reached the top I felt like I was being drowned.

It was very hot like fire in the air,
Some people were so fit, they they didn't even care
We saw the view, it was beautiful as can be
As we were walking up, we saw lots of trees

We all ran down like a pack of cheetahs.
We were so hungry, we started to think of pizzas
On the way down we met Saint Kentigern School
We were so hot, we all wanted to take a dip in a pool

When we reached the base, I was all happy and proud,
While I was resting, other people were shouting out loud.
It was amazing and cool to be out of the city,
But my water bottle was wasted. What a pity

Glenbrae’s  Duffy Role Model Assembly


On Monday the 18th of September, Glenbrae School had a Duffy role model assembly in our hall to celebrate 'Duffy's Reading in Homes' programme.


First we sat down and waited for the chief guest to arrive.  Then our student leaders guided the chief guest  to the hall. After that, Loto, Luisa and Aaliyahna introduced Niva Retimanu to us all.


Next,  Niva  told as about herself, her job and her work at the radio station. She started when she was 18 years old. We also learnt from Niva that she was a New Zealand born Samoan who was born in Invercargill.


After that Niva read a story to us. It was called Yuck Yuck Kiss Kiss. I liked the story because it was funny and made us laugh. Niva read the story with a lot of expression and that made it very funny and exciting.


After reading the story she gave out the Duffy books to all the classes. Candice from our class received her book from Niva because she was our class role model. I felt happy for Candice because it was an honour for her to represent the class.


Before saying thank you and good-bye to Niva, the whole school sang the Duffy song. I enjoyed the assembly a lot because Niva was very interesting and I was excited to learn more about reading


Finally, everyone left the assembly hall while room ten stayed back to have their fitness in the hall.

Clubs

Yesterday we had our first club activities for Term 3 in Room 9 with Mrs Sigamoney and Ms. Elia. I went to the Ukulele club.

First we had to tune our own ukulele with the tuner.  When it was my turn to put the tuner on my ukulele, I only used the tuner to tune the first string and then I was able to tune the rest of the strings by myself because it was  hard to use the tuner.

I felt very excited and happy to learn  how to play a ukulele because then I will know how to play a ukulele at home. When I knew how to play I was cheerful because Luisa and Cherise were cheering me up when I was playing the ukulele.

Kiwi Can

Kiwi Can


Room 10 had its last session with Kiwi Can for this term. All students were very eager to go and participate in the activities because they scored 25 points out of 25 last week.


The energiser activity was called Body parts. The students had to walk around and then when the name of a body par was called out, they had to buddy up and match the body parts with their buddy. Students had a lot of fun doing this activity.


After the energiser, the main activity was called bus stop. For this activity, students worked in pairs and they  had to write down names of six different things beginning with a letter from the alphabet as shown in the table below. As soon their list was complete, they had to call out “Bus Stop”. Then everyone stopped writing and listened to the list of names read out by the pair  that called out “Bus Stop”.


Everyone enjoyed this activity because it really made us think very hard to name things beginning with different letters from the alphabet. We all learned so much from this activity.


Name of Boy
Name of Girl
Name of a colour
Name of food
Name of animal
Name of a Place
David
Doreen
Dark red
Doughnuts
Dog
Denmark


Towards the end of the lesson, Maya thanked Mr. Niumia and Ms. Tuia for their hard work in keeping Room 10 busy during the Kiwi Can sessions.


We all came back to our classroom very happy and energised.
