Weka's Reading activity

This week the Weka reading group read a narrative called "When I grow up" by Barbara Berge from School Journal P.2 N.4 2006.

Whitney, Sean, Fasi, Setaita and Litia interviewed some of the main characters - see what they learned.

Holidays - By Sean

This week we wrote poems using the five senses and a colour to describe our holidays. 

Read Sean's poem about the holidays, or more of Sean's work on his blog. 

HOLIDAYS.

Holidays are blue  like the shining sky

Holidays taste like warm dinner on a dark night

Holidays smell like no school the next day

Holidays look like freedom away from school

Holidays sounds like nature all around me

Holidays feels like smooth air on my skin

Holidays.

By Sean.

What are fingerprints?

McKenzie, Sean and Charlie learned about fingerprints. Then they practiced taking peoples fingerprints during the roadshow on Friday, they were able to see how each person's fingerprint is different. 

Wow.. what a performance

Today Glenbrae School was treated to a wonderful performance from Motuhake called I Am Special. They were a group of actors/dancers who performed a story WITHOUT TALKING. Instead they used dance, gesture and sound effects to share their message.
Everybody was so entertained and couldn't take their eyes off them, we were laughing so loud. 
Some of the senior students got the privilege of helping the performers with their "Because I'm Happy" song. Honey, Sean, Tamati and Davarni from Room 7 got up there and took part in the show. They were absolutely fantastic. 
Watch the clips below to see some of the action.
