Duffy Role Model Assembly

On Thursday Morning there was a Duffy Assembly in the Glenbrae School Hall.  Our Role model was Myron Simpson.

Myron  is 25 years old. In 2007,  he won the silver medal in 2007 Junior World Championship in Mexico. He started riding bikes when he was 3 years old. He wanted to ride bikes because his 2 brothers were also BMX bikers so he wanted to be like them.

He loves to cook and eat at home. His favourite food is pizza. His favourite country visited is  Italy because he likes to eat pizza. He liked the beaches in Italy.

Science Week, Inoke

   Science Intensive Week                                                                                          This week. the senior school had its Science Intensive Week. The major focus of the lessons was to look at the properties and changes of matter. We now know that there are three states of matter. they are solid, liquid and gas.

The first room we went to was  Room 8. We learnt what matter stands for and the meaning of matter is anything that has mass and volume and occupies space.

Then the day after that we went to room 7. We learnt how to make bread. The most thing that you can smell was the yeast.

The things we used were yeast, vinegar, salt and baking soda. Then Mrs Pome’e took the dough to the oven and left it there to bake.. Mrs Parker said that she would give it to us after morning tea.  

Then after morning tea we went to room 10. We learnt how to make Scones with fizzy drinks. We used L & P and Sprite. Then we waited for half an hour. While we were waiting, Mrs.  Tofa told us to stand in a semi circle and we played 21. After half an hour the scones were ready. We ate it with our milk.  and it was yum.

Finally the Science Intensive was over. It was fun but my favourite one was in room 10 because we got to eat the scones I enjoyed having that Science session with the teachers..
