Glenbrae Students are Scientists

Yesterday, 36 students from Glenbrae were invited to go to Auckland University to learn more about science. BASF chemicals sponsored our trip and paid for the bus and organised all the materials and helpers we needed to conduct our experiments. We learnt about absorption, floating and sinking, water purification and, best of all, how to make slime. We were given an apron (to keep our clothes safe), some rubber gloves to protect our hands and we wore safety glasses. We used chemicals like alum, charcoal, PVA, crystals and food colouring. We used equipment like beakers, droppers, filters and plastic bags. We learnt that science can be FUN!

Hi Everyone, This is the first movie filmed and edited completely by students in Room 10. We are very proud of it. What do you think? We'd love to know.

Basic Facts Achievement

I am really proud of my scores for my basic facts speed tests on this site. I am trying to get all my addition and subtraction certificates before the end of the term.

Hello again Everyone,
We are so lucky at Glenbrae School because we have our own pool. Mrs Cooper, our caretaker, looks after it carefully so we can learn to swim and have fun in this hot weather.
We have so much fun swimming at lunchtimes. We take it in turns. Today was the girls turn and we had a handstand competition.
