Music and art Centre

Did you know that Lindsey, Joe, Debby and Vanessa  invited us to come along for this special event that is going to happen. They asked us a question.
"Who wants to have a music and art centre?".
 Everybody raised their hands.

On the 6th of September Rooms 11 and 12 had to discuss ideas about what would be in the G.I's parking space by the community centre. They told us to put some ideas about the new centre that was going to happen.

It was time to grab our papers to put all of our ideas down.
First of all, the group that I was with was Longa, Devonn, Enosi and Alisi. The things that we wanted to do there was mainly for indoor activities like drama class, lino printing and also carving- hard materials. The things that we wanted to do outdoors was basketball, dancing and also chess with big pieces.

It was a surprise to hear that the music and art centre was actually planned as a flower.

The centre is going to will be beautiful like a flower we will also be drinking water from the roof that comes down in a pipe just  like stalks of flowers.

We will be getting the sun for this engine that sucks the heat from the outside to come in the music and art centre just like a flower and a bee.

It was a good opportunity for us to take a chance because everybody will be active and trying to get along with each other.

It will be healthy and clean just like a flower.

I am really excited that there will be a G.I music and art centre.

Interesting Geckos

Book Report

Title The tail of the gecko.
Author Marlene Bennetts
Illustrations Peter P
Geckos are really interesting animals because if an enemy grabs its tail in its mouth the tail drops off and the enemy thinks that the gecko, and starts eating it.
Setting. Iran
Problem its enemy was trying to catch it.
Solution the enemy grabs its tail in it mouth and the Gecko pulled a trick on the enemy and it tail just came off just like that.
Opinion I think that Geckos are interesting to read and  enjoy searching about it.
Who do you think this book would be suitable for? For me because I like searching about animals and facts.

Earthquake shakedown

Have you ever felt an Earthquake?  I haven’t been in an earthquake.
Here are my two reasons why we have an earthquake drill.

Reason:1 It is honestly important.

Reason:2  It can help you in an earthquake


In Glen Innes School, we have been doing important drills. The way we did our drill was, when the bell rings we follow our three important actions.

Drop, Cover and Hold.

My friend Felila was so scared she hurried herself  under the table and held on tightly to the legs of the table. I was absolutely confused and the bell went on and on.

The 2nd reason why we do earthquake drills is because if there is an earthquake you will be able to do the drill. Thats why Glen Innes School does earthquake drills.

Sandwich Making

Wow! Did you know that Glen Innes had a healthy lunch for free, because.....

It was a good idea to have a healthy lunch.  

Today Mr Naidoo had something nice prepared for us. I was stunned when Mr Naidoo told us that Pak'nSave had sponsored us.  It was a delight to hear.

 I could see teacher aids dishing out our food. The ingredients that were set out on each of the tables were bread, cheese, lettuces, carrots, cucumber,  ham,  tuna mixed with apple, lemon juice and if you like you could add a little touch of salt and pepper.  

Our Principal Mr. Hendricks said a prayer to bless our food. 

We all had two pieces of bread. The ingredients I put in my sandwich first were lettuce, cheese, cucumber, and tuna with apple. It was time to eat our sandwich; I took an enjoyable bite.

The people that I was sitting with were Auariki, Longa, Talia, Autymn, Anna Maria, Chloe and Celia. We were discussing what the name of our healthy sandwiches could be. Auariki's sandwich was called Mr. Vegetables, Longa's one was Mr. Funny face and Anna Maria's one was Mr. Bean. Her one was the funniest one.

I thought in my head that everybody had had a great time creating their own sandwiches. 

I can't wait for next week because we are making........  

You will have to read my next BLOG to find out.

NERVOUS!

We have been learning to write and present our speeches. We had to persuade the audience to think our way. The Olympics was our theme.
The criteria we had to use to write and present our speech included, an introduction, delivery, content.

When I was introducing my speech, I thought that this speech was an astonishing speech but I wasn’t really able to speak calmly or confidently.
My delivery was awesome . I had a perfect volume.
My content was OK, but I could of presented it better.
The conclusion I wrote out was; if you have a passion for it don't turn back just keep going.

After I said my speech, it was time to go to the hall to have the competition.
I was pleasantly shocked to hear that my friend Chloe had won a place in the speech contest, she came 2nd. I was sorry to hear that our teacher wasn't coming, but our class was proud of the people who represented us.

I should have persevered, I know next year I will do better to be in the competition and WIN! 

I WAS SHOCKED!!!

Why was I excited? Today was a big day, for Rooms 9,11 and off cause Room 12. Everyone was extremely, overboard, excited. Did you know we had messages from the Royal Queen from London, Richie McCaw and also Daniel Carter. Nearly everybody wanted Richie and Dan’s email.

What did I think about the surprise?

I wasn’t looking forward to the presentation being directed. But really it was awesome and with love. The person that directed it, was Mr Ramkalawan and also Celia my friend was a presenter that was in the movie clip.

I think my memorable thing would be the clip, that one our teachers did  with Celia the  presenter. 

SOOOOO BORING

What was my memorable moment about the Olympics?

Well, to be honest I didn't really watch the olympics. These are the reasons why I could not watch TV.

First of all we have only 2 TVs one upstairs and one downstairs. The one downstairs has no Sky so that is the first reason why...

Next, my nana’s stepson always takes the ariel and makes an excuse  

Last but not least we only have channels  one, two and four.

Fun in the pool!

Yeah Sameera, fun in the pool. I think you are looking forward to next summer and more swimming.
