EXTREME weather

This term, Room 9 has been learning about EXTREME weather. We have had lots of fun learning about different storms!

Well done Alyanna for creating this informative slideshow presentation about different types of extreme weather.

Ready for the day!

At the start of the day, students in Room 9 sit in their house rows (kowhai, kauri, rata, nikau). They receive house points for being the best house! 

Well done Room 9 for always sitting so nicely in the mornings and being ready to LEARN!

Thunderstorms!!

Students from Room 9 created thunderstorm art.  They started off by creating a background colour blending shades of grey, white, purple and blue. Once the background was completed, they drew a silhouette of buildings at the bottom and a big great cloud in the top right corner. Lastly, the students drew lightning strikes coming down from the dark clouds.

Trusting each other

In Kiwican, Room 9 had been learning about reliability. Today in Kiwican, we learnt about people who we can rely on and trust.

The students did a variety of different trust exercises with a partner. They got harder and harder, and they had to rely/trust each other to complete them successfully. 

Thank you Kiwican for a fun filled session!

 

Dialogic Conversation

Room 9 was lucky enough to have Jannie Van Hees come in and teach them about dialogic conversation and how to add detail when they are speaking to others. Students had a lot of fun creating interesting conversations with each other and trying to add more into their conversations.

Thank you Jannie for coming in to work with R9. We look forward to seeing you next term.

THANK YOU PwC

Thank you for the certificates PwC. We LOVED having you in Room 9! We look forward to seeing you at our school next year.

Financial Literacy

Today, we had  employees from PwC come in and teach Room 9 about money. The students learnt about saving and earning money, and also about borrowing. Thank you PwC for teaching Room 9.  We had lots of fun!

Looking after our school environment

We make sure we look after Glenbrae School. 

Thank you so much, Jamal and Paisha, for picking up rubbish during your lunchtime. The school looks beautiful and clean!

Library time

Students in Room 9 love going to the library to read. Irene chose a great book from our ANZAC Day display to read.
