Grace Joel performance

On the 7th of march some of the students at Glenbrae school performed at Grace Joel retirement village in St Heliers. The performance started at 11:30 so we were in a hurry.After a couple of minutes after school started most students got ready and so we were getting dressed after 10am. Most of us dressed in the hall and we were very excited to hop on the bus and get going.After  we were finished getting dressed  we hopped on the bus and left


Once we arrived we hopped off and once we were inside students started to greet other people and elder people.We then went into a large lounge area and then we introduced ourselves.Our principal Mrs Elia started to greet us in front of the elders who were watching us.After our school was introduced we then started performing our items.

The first item was the haka they were very loud.Also they were doing the that the all blacks performed at the world cup.They were very loud but there was only a couple of people that was in the haka.

The first group who was up was the kapahaka group.We sang two songs,the first song was Te Aroha and Pureanei. We also had actions for both songs.After the kapahaka group performed the Tongan who was the row behind the first row.

The Tongan group had did a dance which were a tradition to the Tongan culture.As we were getting ready to dance i was scared and nervous because i was in the dance.After we had finished dancing we were very proud of ourselves and the teachers were too.

The group after us was the Samoans who was doing the Sasa. Mrs Tofa was doing drumming while they were performing.They were both females and males dancing in the Sasa. Furthermore they were wearing the colour blue.

After the Sasa was the Tongan boys. They were very brave so they performed very well.Also it only took a couple of days for the boys to learn the dance.The also had a head piece on their head which is traditional to the Tongan culture. 

Next was the Cook Island group and that was on two of them in that group.They were both girls, first up was Maara and she did it on her own.Than after Maara did on her own, than the two girls came together and did it together.They danced to a very fast beat.

Then after all the performances were done than a man named Author had come up and asked on person from each group to answer questions.When he had finished asking questions he had said that we had a surprise.It was a treat which was candy.Everybody got one each and that we took it back to school.

Finally we hopped in the bus ad than drove back to school.I was very happy that we performed at Grace Joel.We than went back to school and got undressed.That was the best experience I

ever had.

Why is the police the important place in our community?

Why is the police the important place in our community?

The police  is important because they can solve crime.They also protect the community from victims and criminals.Furthermore they help us when we are in need and in an emergency.

First of all police do police chases for people who are speeding in case of an accident on the road.They also stop gangs from fighting.Next they stop arguments between others.

Next policemen they need to go around the school to make sure that the student,teachers and teacher aid safe.Then they also save lives from criminals.Sometimes it’s hard for police because their looking after the whole community.They arrest people from robbery.

Then police officers sometimes use guns to hurt people but it is for our safety.Another thing is they do checkpoints on the road so no one is drinking and driving.We can always trust policemen because they save us at the end of the day.

Finally the police is the most important place in the community because we can know that our community is safe and sound.Then police have a difficult day but we can trust them to save our community and others.When we have an emergency the police is always there.That is why the police is the most important place in our community.

Place value Paritioning

WAHLT:Solve multiplication equations using place value partitioning

213 x 5

I know that 213 was a big number so I split it into 100’s,10’s and 1’s and then multiplied each of the numbers by 5

(200x5)+(10x5)+(3x5)=

Then I further split the 200 into 100’s     

So (100 +100) x 5 = 100 x 5 + 100 x 5

500 + 500 = 1000

10 x 5 = 50 or 10+10+10+10+10=50

3x5= 15 or 5+5+5=15

So 1000+50+15=1065

Why is school an important place in our community?

Why is GI library important in our community?

WALT:We are learning about why is the GI library so important in the community?

The GI library is important because it help us with our learning because they have thousands of books.They also access to the internet.We can also issue our books to take home with our library cards.

The books in the library are for people all ages.Most people that are in high school go to the library for group studies.Sometimes they can go alone.Also most people go for programmes that happen in the library.

They can also have schools come in for programmes as well.They also perform shows for kids from different schools around the community.We also have people go to meet up with others for group studies.

It is a information centre.They can get information from books to help you with something.Most people go to the computers and search up things they need help with.
