Socialising with Room 6 at St Pius X School

Dear room 6
Thanks for the fabulous experience. I learnt how to interact with people I have never met before. You guys are very lucky to have a teacher like Mrs Moodley. I could immediately see that she taught you guys the basic virtues.


Playing the ukulele was really interesting. I didn’t really know how to play the ukulele that much but now I know how to play G7, C7 and C. Mrs Carter use to be my music teacher at my old school.


It was a pity that we had to leave but all good things must come to an end. Hopefully we get to do it sometime again.


Yours sincerely Crystal King from Glen Innes School

Netbook Reflection 2012

Our school days are not like they use to be. Netbook? When that word comes to mind I think about learn, create and share.


For example we had to make a movie about our experience making an eBook. First we had to gather information about animals, create a eBook then share with our buddies in the junior classes.

We also share on our blogs. I once visited my friends blog and when I looked at her visitors map, there were so many red dots I couldn't see the map. She has been blogging for about three years. I can't wait till my visitor map looks like hers.

What I am looking forward to next year is that we learn to use our netbooks in more interesting ways. 

The fascinating Zoo day

Leap of Faith

Walt: write a story in sequence
Leap of Faith

It felt like my life was at stake because it was like I was on top of the world for some reason. As I stood upon the earth the glitz of the oceans wow factored me, especially because it was dawn. The sight was amazing even though the earth was as still as a rock.


Mission control babbled to me for a very long time. “Are you ready to jump?”. My heart sank, because anything could happen. “No sorry not ready yet, I‘m very frightened”. “Don't worry
everything will be okay” said the Mission controller. I thought about my husband and kids and what they would be doing right now and what they looked like.

“Are you ready now?” “Yes of course I am. I am a daredevil.” JUMP! Then I finally jumped, it was very breathtaking. It felt like I was a flying eagle free from everyone. Nearly to the ground, I pulled my parachute but it did not open I panicked I screamed “help me I’m going to die, help!”

The fire brigade came with a huge trampoline for me to land on. My legs and arms felt like spaghetti. The trampoline was right there in my face I bounced, bounced like a kangaroo. Woohoo! A safe landing. I danced my way off the trampoline, ran to my husband and kids and hugged them. Earth sweet Earth.
The message of this story is that if you believe in yourself anything can happen.

Disco Fever

Our First Disco
It was an amazing feeling just to be there. Seeing my best friends made my day because I did not think that they would come. It wasn’t really about the food because most people didn’t buy much. The music was astonishing to be honest, I thought that the music was going to be the 70‘s or 80‘s music. It was more like a glow party because it was dark and I think that every child had something that glowed. The children looked mind blowing, they came in their flash clothes. I wish we could have another Disco once again.

Glen Innes School is the best!

Glen Innes School Chant

GI School is the best
We will beat the rest
Do we try hard?
Oh boy yes! we do.
We’re  humble
And never grumble!
Kick the rugby ball through the poles,
watch that soccer ball roll, roll, roll.
We go out there to play hard and to win
And when we do we grin.

The children in our school
have the force
and we’re champions of course!

Survey and Report

Walt: to write a report on our survey

A few weeks ago I decided to find out “Who is your favourite teacher in Glen Innes School?” I used excel to draw my 3D graph. My data was represented in a column graph, it was a bit tricky but I got the hang of it. My target group was the seniors of our school.

I took the survey sheet around myself and personally asked them. 25 children were surveyed. I surmised that Mrs Barry is the most popular teacher. Mr Ramkolowan was the 2nd favourite teacher but the least favourite teachers were Mrs Webster, Mrs Manu and Mr Naidoo.

I think that most of the children chose Mrs Barry because she is the Sports Teacher and she is very fun to be around, hilarious and is very good at making connections with children.
