Dawn Raid Writing

Room 11 were motivated to write some awesome poems based on the Dawn Raids after watching a video.

We looked at Migration as part of our Inquiry focus and somehow, our class took an interest in the Dawn Raids the Polynesians experiences in the 70's.

Show don't tell!

Why do we read?

For reading today Room 11 had jotted down on the whiteboard their thoughts on "Why We Read". I feel like they did an awesome job and it was worth posting. So here is an image of Room 11's answers and thoughts on why we read at Glen Taylor School!

Turbo Touch!

This morning Room 11 had their third session of Turbo Touch! The had got split into two teams of five. Norelle (the coach) would blow the whistle and four people from the attack side had to try goal and three people from the defend side had to defend the attackers. Room 11 enjoyed their third session of turbo touch, we can't wait for next week!

Getting better in MATHS

Today we had Ms Pine come in and team teach with Miss Tupou for Maths. We were given a fraction problem to solve in groups. Good feedback for both Miss Tupou and Room 11 from Ms Pine.

Family Fun Day!

Last Saturday Glen Taylor School had their own Family Fun Day. Glen Taylor had family fun day so, that students parents could meet there teachers and get to know each other. Also it would be good for the students parents so, that they can see what their Childs learning in class. There was also sausage sizzles and the pool was open so, that everyone could go have a refreshing and cool swim. Here is some photo's of the family fun day.
