Holiday Homework Poem : Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer

After December                                                  Leaves turning lighter

Autumn becomes a member                            And my skins tighter

Yellow and Brown                                              So get used to the warmness

All around the town                                           As no ones flawless

From warm to cold                                            Wind, Snow, Rain and Hail

I’m still going old                                               Would always leave a trail

In this freezing weather                                   So stay inside to see more

You’ll feel like a feather                                  And don’t forget to snore

Springs coming up                                           Spring makes world a happy place

Maybe I’ll get a pup                                        And you’d see it on their face

It’s very warm                                                   Birds arrive and flowers come out

In a different form.                                          I never have a doubt

Summers here and it’s hot                            Hot not cold filled with love

And I love the beach - a lot                          I would like a dove

Longer Days, shorter nights                         Take care in this season

As always watching lights                            Because there's a reason

Visit to Auckland Live (Nz Opera)🎓

Today Room 8 and 10 had the delight of going to Auckland Live in the Auckland Town Center. Rom 8 was split up into 3 groups so we would know who was in each group.

Inside Auckland Live, we had to see all the behind the scenes, prop making, make - up & wigs, it was an amazing experience visiting Auckland Town Center. The most shocking thing (in a good way) was how they gave us an exclusive sneak peek about what was going to happen about Sweety Todd. I am not going to give anything away but if you would like to hear all about Auckland Live/ Town Center visit their site.

I really enjoyed this trip to Auckland Town Center and I can wait to go back!

Isaac Newton	He was the first one to ever think about how, what and why things Move.
Inertia	Which is 3 Laws of Motions, Unbalanced Force, stays the same (rests). Is also to resist from changing the force.

Science Intensive : Room 7

Today after Interval and Lunch, Room 8 had a special visit down to Room 3 to learn about Science.

In Room 3 Miss Stone (from room 7) was there and she had an exciting day planned for us.  We did an experiment where we made Oblique which is Water and Cornflour and we didn't know if it was a Solid or Liquid.

Next we did another experiment involving a lot of equipment and patience.  It was Chemical Rocket and we had to try and create a Chemical Rocket.

Tuesday the 6th of September was a very unique day for me as 10 students from each school : Glenbrae, Pt England, Glenn Innes and Glen Taylor had been selected to have an opportunity to take part in a program where you learn all the Insurance and all the different qualities of Insurance.
