Keen for KIWICAN

Thank you to our wonderful Kiwican instructors who teach our tamariki important life skills. 

Room 9 loves coming into Kiwican and having lots of fun doing different team building activities.

Well done Room 9 for always having smiles on your faces and giving everything a go!

We love Softball!

Glenbrae School competed in the cluster Softball tournament on Wednesday 26th February. 

We took a Year 5 team and a Year 6 team. Both teams played incredibly well and both got into the finals. 

We ended up getting two 2nd places overall! 

Well done to Glenbrae students for such a wonderful day out. You were all excellent team players!

Reading Time

For the first 3 weeks of this term, Room 9 has had Miss Smith (#2) in class who is in her final year of her teaching degree.

Thank you for reading to us Miss Smith and being an awesome student teacher. We can't wait to see you again in a few months!

KIWISPORT - Volleyball

This term, the senior classes are learning how to play volleyball. 

We have instructors from Sport Auckland teaching different skills.

Thank you Sport Auckland for teaching our students how to play!

Swimming!

Room 9 has been enjoying swimming in this very hot Auckland weather!

They have been learning all about being safe in, on and around the water.

Well done Room 9 for being such active listeners.

Buddy Reading

For reading today, Room 9 read a book about keeping safe around water. They were paired up with their learning buddy and had turns at reading to each other. 

Well done for working so well with your learning buddies!

Creating our own Pepeha

 This week Room 9 have been working on creating their own pepeha.

Students used a template to help them to write their pepeha and then wrote it up neatly on A4 paper. They used vivid to go over their writing and then used dye to colour each section.

At the bottom of their pepeha, each student will add a picture of themselves.

Water Fun Day 2020

Glenbrae School has a great day participating in Water Fun Day 2020. Students competed in their house groups and did lots of different activities.

Well done to everyone who took part and congratulations to NIKAU house who took out 1st place!

Class of 2020

Room 9 started off the year by creating self portrait art.

 Students began by decorating their sunglasses and then they drew their head, neck, shoulders, hair, mouth and nose using pencil. After drawing, they coloured in their portraits using different coloured paint.

Well done Room 9. Your self portraits look beautiful!
