Sailing

Six lucky students from Room 9 were chosen to go sailing along with students from Room 7 and Room 10.  The students learnt lots of new skills and had lots of fun out on the water!

Room 9 are smart learners

Mrs Grant from Manaiakalani has been coming in to help Room 9 students become smart learners on their chromebooks. Room 9 loves having Mrs Grant teaching them new and exciting tricks to help them navigate and use their chromebooks more easily!

Room 9 have been painting their background colours for their Onomatopoeia (sound word) designs.

Water Fun Day!

Room 9 had the best time on Water Fun Day! They competed against each other in their houses (Nikau, Rata, Kowhai and Kauri). There were lots of different activities that the students had to rotate through and collect as much water as they could for their house! Congratulations to Kowhai house who collected the largest amount of water! 

Glenbrae says Goodbye to their Dawn Redwood tree

Glenbrae School had to say goodbye to their beautiful Dawn Redwood tree. The tree was chopped down due to safety reasons. The students loved watching the arborists cut down the tree and learnt a lot about how trees are cut down safely.

Volleyball

For the first 6 weeks of term 1, we were lucky enough to have coaches from Sport Auckland come and teach students the important skills involved when playing Volleyball. Room 9 had the best time every Thursday morning learning new skills and having fun. Thank you so much Sport Auckland!

Music

We are lucky enough to have music lessons every Monday morning. Every student got given a recorder and they are learning how to read music along with learning how to use a variety of different instruments! Thank you Mr Kim from Jelly Beans Music for providing excellent music lessons!

Swimming

During the first 6 weeks of term, Room 9 swam every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We had lots of fun learning new skills in the water and practising different strokes such as freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke. Room 9's favourite skill to practice was floating on their backs! 

School Matrix

During the first 2 weeks of term 1, Room 9 discussed the School Matrix and the importance of it. The School Matrix is all about respect: respecting self, others, learning, environment and property. They brainstormed in small groups about what 'respect' looks like in all of these different areas. It was great to see all the students working as a team to think of examples of showing respect.
