Learning how to blog

When I was working with Mrs Grant I discovered that making a blog was quite easy. Since then I have been making lots of stories about events at our school like cross country and kite day. I recommend that you should listen to our podcasts. Click the link for the podcasts in the side bar of this blog.

What’s that noise ! What a surprise!

On Tuesday 14th August 2007 was Mr Gordon’s 21st Birthday (or so they say!). Every student in our buddy class (Room 7) made a single letter on a piece of paper. Together they spelt - Happy Birthday Mr Gordon! Our class came rushing out to see the amazing effort of our buddy class and their clever display - Happy Birthday Mr Gordon!! For me the best part of our buddies coming to see us was when Mr Betts made a balloon hat for Mr Gordon. It was very funny looking Mr Gordon looked quite silly! Thank you Mr Betts and Room 7 for the awesome display !!!!!

The New Wall - “Seaside” Scene

“Wow!” “Look at that!” “Mr. Betts is soooooo clever!” said the pupils at Sunnybrae Normal School.

At first I thought I was at the wrong school, but when I looked at the buildings, they looked the same. What happened?

Oh! It’s Mr. Betts, our school’s best artist at work on the wall. The mural looks really colourful. Mr. Betts can quickly draw almost anything.

You can find the wonderful mural on the senior playground wall.

Korea and N.Z.

I like my New Zealand school because it is more fun and interesting. In Korea we don’t wear uniforms. I like playing on the field because in Korean schools there are no fields. In Korea we have grass but we can’t play on it.

In Korea we don’t sit on the mat but New Zealand we do. In Korean schools we are given lunch but in New Zealand we have to take lunch. I would like to permanently live in New Zealand. My favourite subjects are P.E and maths. I like to go to ESOL with Mrs Mason. I like Mrs. Mason’s class because we have a Korean teacher helping us. Also Mr Gordon is an amazing teacher because he know lots of about ICT.

I miss my aunty, uncle, grandpa, grandma and my cousins.

Term 2 Senior Production

As you all should know the senior syndicate production starts in two weeks so Mrs Blair and Miss Watts and all the other teachers and parent helpers are working hard to get the production up to scratch

If you don’t know anything about the production I can tell you a little blurb it all starts with Alice reading a book and when she puts the book down she sees a rabbit looking at the time and wearing clothes so she follows it then the rabbit goes down a hole so Alice follows it down. Since it was so dark she didn’t see the rabbit hole so she starts falling down it and when she lands she finds herself in a very strange place.
If you want to find out more I recommend you see Mr Gordon.

Production review

Hi! I’m Callum speaking for Room 12, Sunnybrae Normal Primary, Auckland, New Zealand. Last term, the senior syndicate made a spectacular production called Wonder in Aliceland. We worked all term to achieve our goal and to make an eye opening show for the public to enjoy. I was chosen to be in the cast and acted as the Mad Hatter. I really liked my role because I got to be really rude to Alice and got hold a mad tea party with my best mate, the March Hare! I wish instead of having to pretend I was drinking tea; we got to drink real hot chocolate, mmmmm! Our production was held on the last week of term from Tuesday to Thursday, and from 7.00pm to 8.30pm. I think we succeeded in reaching our goal and everyone had a great time participating in the production, I certainly did!

Marvelous Production

What a marvelous choir, what a marvelous instrumental group , what a marvelous production. Have you seen our production which is called Wonder in Aliceland? It is similar to Alice in Wonderland. If you haven’t seen it you better hold on to… your…heads…Sorry if I scared you by that, but I mean it. Our production is very wondrous just like Wonderland. Doesn’t that sound relaxing?

Senior Production by Carlos

‘We're all mad’ for this senior syndicate Production. Our production is called Wonder in Aliceland it’s another version of Alice in Wonderland. I have a part in it and I am a Gardener for the mean old nasty Queen! I think you should come because the backdrop looks so REALISTIC! Like you could just walk straight through it. I hope I don’t get stage fright or I will be shaking like a wet dog!

Sail Design

We enjoyed creating our sails and testing them out in the school pool. Just like Valencia we had to cope with low wind conditions!

Mrs Smith's Puppies

My children certainly enjoyed visting the puppies at Mrs Smith's house. I wonder what they would like to get now?

Teacher: Mr Gordon

Hello, I'm Mr Gordon. I have been teaching in the senior syndicate since 1997. During my time at Sunnybrae I have worked with and witnessed the development of ICT throughout the school. I am currently released one day a week to further develop the use of ICT, troubleshoot technical issues and support teachers with the integration of ICT into their classroom programmes.
