Trip to Butterfly Creek

On the 9th of March 2015  the year 6,7 and 8 students from Glenbrae School went to Butterfly Creek next to the airport in a luxury coach to learn about Dinosaurs and collect some information about other animals that are extinct and living.

When we got in to Butterfly Creek our guide came out of the cafe and talked to us. After that we walked happily Sunita into the dinosaur kingdom to talk about dinosaurs.  Paul spoke about dinosaurs and showed us a dinosaur’s skull, teeth and poo.  We also saw some huge robotic dinosaurs in the dinosaur kingdom. They were awesome.

After going to the Dinosaur Kingdom and learning about dinosaurs, we then went to see the fish. I saw clown fish and some other colourful fish.

Soon after we went into the butterfly house and saw different colourful beautiful butterflies and also some little monkeys. After seeing the beautiful butterfly, we went to see the crocodiles. There were two little baby crocodiles and 2 adult crocodiles. We looked at them for a little bit until it was time to go on the tram ride. We walked to the part where you have your train ride. We sat down in the tram and it was super colourful. We saw different dinosaurs, then we came across 2 very huge pigs. This was exciting seeing all sorts of animals from the tram.

After lunch we went to the farm. I saw some rabbits, parrots, sheep and goats. I held one of the baby rabbits and loved it. Then we went to the crocodile show and watched the crocodiles eat. The crocodile’s name was scar. Scar  jumped up and swam to where the food was hanging.

After that we all went back to get our bags and went out to the bus. Then we set off back to school. I really enjoyed it at Butterfly creek and would love to go back again some day in the year.

How we respect others

Hi my name is Cherise and I'm going to tell you a little a bit about how you can respect others and yourself.

                                                                                                                          You can respect people by not talking when they're not talking,don't say swearwords,clean up at home,say nice words,helping someone when someone is hurt,picking up rubbish,treating sport gear with care, keep your hands and feet and words to yourself,no fighting in class or at home and finally you should respect yourself and others by also doing your work at school.

You can respect you by helping you get healthy and clean. Also not getting yourself into fights.

The End

My presentation

On Thursday the 8 of May 2014 the whole of Glenbrae school were doing class presentations. I was presenting for my group and we were talking about what you need to take when you go camping. Robin, Maara, Whitney and Levi also presented for their groups.

In the morning we did a little practice then the bell rang to start doing the presentations. First Room 8 came and then the other classes followed. We taught them about what to take when you go camping, Whitney talked about tents and where to put your tent, Levi talked about man made shelters, Robin talked about food to take in the wild and Maara did mapping skills.

When the classes were coming in I was getting excited and happy.

Recount about going to Tamaki College

Today on the 21 of March 2014 Room 7 and Room 9 went to Tamaki College to learn more about sports and we got to meet some people in Tamaki College too.

First Miss T told us to get into groups.Then she called some people up to be with the second group we had Lika, Samuel and Maria. 

Next we went outside and then they said we were going to play a game. The game was called Bang. Someone had to be in the middle and had to call a name if they call a name you had  to duck  and the two people next to you have to try to shoot you if you duck before they get you they have shoot each other and that person who shot last will be out.

Then we played a game called Capture the ball. You just had to get the other team's ball. Finally we raced each other to the end of the field.

I felt happy because there were cool coaches and I am looking forward to the next lesson.
