An exciting day at Glenbrae School

On Tuesday 19th June 2018,  Glenbrae School was buzzing with excitement. Students and staff were excited alike. Anyone entering the school was wondering what all the excitement was about. Well, it was the day we all showcased our favourite characters in books we loved reading, most.

The entire school assembled in the hall for a class by class character parade. Room 1 with new entrants and year 1 students looked the cutest dressed up as their favourite characters. Every class paraded around the hall. Students and staff paraded with pride. It was hilarious to see Mrs Ripata, Miss Pauvale and Mr Nath dancing away in their costumes. This was so much fun.

The poetry recitals from each class were so good. Some students spoke clearly and projected their voices. Room 7 students recited poems about refugees and also recited up side down poems. This was interesting enough to keep the audience engaged.

After lunch, we had the Story Line performance that presented fun story telling about how important it is to read and enjoy reading.

The day ended with all of us at Glenbrae still excited and buzzing about the great day we had around reading books and dressing up as our favourite characters.

The writing group was asked to write an article about the events of the day. Students were grouped and assigned parts of the day they had to report about. To see how articles are written in the East and Bays Courier, we accessed the newspaper online and read articles in the newspaper. We then unpacked the structure and language features of the writing an article as a reporter. We discussed who the audience was and what the purpose for writing this report was. After this the students were reminded that after they drafted their parts, they would deliberately craft their sentences and paragraphs to make the writing interesting for being published in the East and Bays Courier.
Students are writing and crafting their portions of the article. Need to finish this and make sure the paragraphs all link, the article is informative and showcases Glenbrae School as a school of choice.
