Smelling Roasty

On March the 17th, the gardeners made roasted potatoes.
We added vegetables with no meat. We added in potatoes, silver beets, herbs, kumera, carrots, garlic and a little bit of salt and pepper.
Later on, at morning tea, I went to check in the kitchen in the hall and suddenly Mrs Palmer excitedly said, “Lisiate come on let’s take a picture of you smelling the food”.

She took a picture of me. The food smelled very roasty.

Drumming

Last year, all the students at Glenbrae School were lucky enough to have a fun, fantastic visit from Chewy and his friends. They are amazing drummers and they have got heaps of drums, enough for everyone to have one. We had a great time learning some new rhythms from them. We were pretty sad when they left and took their drums with them BUT, thanks to the singers in the fantastic choir who donated their night's takings of $800 to us, we have been able to buy 10 drums for our school. Today, Room 7 got into the rhythm and practised some beats. We're not too bad but we plan on getting much, much better. Watch out for our next drumming post.

P.S.

Did you notice how Douglas and Lisiate made sure Nunia had a turn with the drum? I felt very proud to have two such helpful, caring boys in my class. Thanks you two. You are great role models.

Everybody else was great at sharing as well. I am lucky to have such a friendly and kind group of students in my class this year. Keep it up everyone.

Hello Everyone,
I am Lisiate and I'm in Year 6 at Glenbrae School. I have been working hard to improve my swimming and breathing. I can swim the whole length without stopping. How do you think I am doing?

E Honore

Hi Everyone,
Today we were representing Glenbrae School at a kid's peace conference at the Aotea Centre. At lunchtime, they had a concert and anyone who wanted to, could do an item. We sang E Honore. See the next post for more photos and information on our awesome day.

Lisiate's Holiday Acrostic Poem

My name is Lisiate. I am a year 5 student at Glenbrae School. I spent time at the park in the holidays, having fun with my family. My poem is about things I did with my family at the park.

Lisiate's artwork 'Guiro meets Maraca'

During term 3 I have chosen 4 different instruments and drew the 4 coloured papers.
Our art project for term 3 is based on Pablo Picasso because he puts different kind of shapes in his artwork.Picasso has been our model for a cubist art work this week.

Fire officers

Dear George,
Thank-you for having us at the Mt Wellington Fire Station.
Glenbrae School students are very lucky to be able to go over the fire station.
When I grow up, I want to be just like you.

Dear George,
I am writing to you to say thank-you for letting us into the fire station.
I learnt everything about fire.

Yours Sincerely

Dear George,
I am writing to say thank-you for having Glenbrae at the fire station.
I learnt that we should never hide under beds in a fire and never put oil on a flame.

Yours Sincerely
Lisiate (Year 5)

Tina Cross and Taisha from the band Lady Killers

Thursday 3rd June 2010.

Yesterday, at school we had a visit from two famous singers . They were Tina Cross and Taisha from the Lady Killers. They were talking about their lives and how to become a singer. Next we had question time. They asked each other questions and we asked them some. After that they sang us some songs and we sang with them. We all sang songs called Yellow Bird, In the Jungle and Let It Be. It was a very enjoyable day.
