Neuroplasticity

Today Miss Turner came to room 7 on the 1st of november 2017 to teach us about neuroplasticity. She talked about our brains developing everyday. She told us what were our Challenges and how are they going from now and our whole class had to participate and My challenge was to speak my own language which is samoan.

As Miss Turner left the classroom in my head I learned something so speacial (Neuroplasticity) So I'd like to thank Miss Turner for teaching us Neuroplasticity.

Camp Ehxperience (Thank you St Ignatius)

First of all, I would like to thank st Ignatius for giving us the opportunity to experience Russell, Kerikeri, Waitangi and many more wonderful places we went to. Without your generous donations we wouldn't be able to have enough money to make our camp possible.

We all enjoyed the activities we played at night and the day. We all learned many historical Maori legends and stories from the past. Till this day and the future, we will never forget the amount of support you’ve produced for us. My personal favourite was when we went to the bay and got to learn about kayaking. Thanks to the (AFG) instructors I and my group learned how to kayak in no time.

We are most obliged for what you have done for us and once again I would like to say thank you for making our camp possible.

Technology

 Today at technology (Tamaki college) we built our own design for our self or for someone special we wanted to give it too. My design was a boat, a 80 mm long boat. Our Teacher for wood craving was Mr Grandi, he is really strict at times but that's what's funny about Mr Gradi. That's why Mr gradi suits he's job. We have 2 more weeks with Mr Grandi, so I'll do the best as I can do to make my design.

Earthquakes, 3 states of matter and insulation

For science intensive we learned about 3 special things... Earthquake's, the 3 states of matter and insulation. First of all I'd like to describe those 3 special things by starting with the best one I thing.

Earthquakes:
We learnt about Earthquakes with Mrs Sigamoni and it was amazing looking at one but If one comes your way, your in a load of trouble but luckily I have a way to be safe and to get out of your house when an earthquake occurs. First of all get down to the nearest table you can find, so you can get out harm from falling light's or any thing that's attached to the roof or if the roof collapse. When you make it down to the table try and make your way safely to the exit and there you go your out of your house. Here is a link you can find more information how earthquakes happen

3 States of matter: 

The 3 states of matter Gas, liquid and solid. It was incredible learning about the 3 states of matter and how it can form rain what's even better was the teacher that was teaching us Miss stone. Now i'm saying that Miss stone is the best teacher in the whole school but she was very cool when we were near both recess and interval.

Insulation:
It was fun learning about insulation because it's so surprising how it can make your house warm even when it's cold outside and when it's so hot outside, it can make your house nice and cool. The reason why a house with insulation can be warm and cold is because of the pink pads. Pink pads are made out of wool and cellulose, fibreglass, and mineral rock or slag.

Fitness with Mrs Gray

Today we had our morning fitness with Mrs Gray. sadly our teacher Mrs Tofa was sick so we had Mrs Gray.It was a lot different than what we had with Mrs Tofa because the only thing we done with Mrs Tofa was Stretching, than straight on to bulrush but today we had 3 rounds around the court than we got arranged into 2 lines to get ready for relay. After our relays we turned around and went straight to our (class room 7).

Today I and room 7 had lots of fun with miss stone, doing science. we learned about solid, liquid and gas and made a shape with chocolate. unfortunately our piping bag was already filled with dry chocolate so we couldn't make a good shape but it was fun trying.

G.I History

Here is a little information about the G.I. history. My reading group "Weka", we worked on Glen Innes history and here is some facts from the article I read.

Today I and my class went down to the courts to play some netball for P.E. First Mrs. Tofa split us into to two lines and made us pick our own positions. My position was GK (Goalkeeper). A goalkeeper is when you try and save the ball from getting into your netball hoop.

The people that were a sub for the netball team could play another activity with the new teacher (Miss Ogram). Miss Ogram is a student teacher from Auckland university, She is coming here for five weeks looking at glenbrae school.

Every Time when Mrs. Tofa blows her whistle we rotate to netball to Miss Ogram with her netball activities.

Holiday recount

During my holiday, it was my brother’s birthday 21 of April. We celebrated my brother's birthday at this place called Time Zone. Time zone is a place where there are so many games and yummy food. There were also bumper cars and laser tag. Bumper cars were the best because you get to bump cars and take over cars. After all of the amazing games we played, we sang a happy birthday song to my brother Moses.

When we finished celebrating my brother's birthday at Time Zone we went to the cinemas and watched The fate of the furious. That movie was awesome to watch. We thanked our parents for taking us to many places.

After a few days past by my sister texted me and my brother on our phones that were going to the Warriors vs Roosters NRL game. We were really really happy, when we got there we saw our teammates from our rugby team Eavan and Trent. The first thing we said to each other were “Where are you guys sitting?” we said. “Block D,” they said.  We were also sitting at Block D so we were sitting next to each other.

When the game came close to the end the points were 13 for Warriors and 13 for Roosters. The Warriors had a penalty right next to the try line, the time for the game was only 80 seconds, so that's when the Warriors took the conversion and add two more points to their 13 points they had before. There were 10 seconds on the clock till the time runs out 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!! The game finished.

At the end of the game, we all went home and ate some more food and sleep. That's my holiday.          

Dancing at grace joel

At grace Joel we all performed for the old people in grace Joel. Only the students who perform got to go to grace Joel,  there was a Samoan group, Tongan group, Maori group and cook island group. They all were amazing cultures and good dancers but I think the samoan group is the best "Maybe because I'm samoan". Here are some photo's the teachers took.

GBS kids visit

Two days ago we went to visit the little Glenbrae members of our school, First, we went in inside, sat down and sang a song. Are song that we performed was Toro mai to ringa.When we finished singing are song toro mail to range one of the teachers in the kindy garden said to go play with the little one's,I walked to Mrs to go tell her something and this little boy (minny) came to me and said hi, so then we started to be friends we played outside and played with many objects like Bamboo xylophone, a normal xylophone and we even made our own parkour with swings and pillows.

It was fun playing with minny but it was time to leave we said goodbye to our partners and it was sad but we had to go.
