Glenbrae School is the best

In my opinion, I think Glenbrae school is the best because we are digital learners, we have the best teachers, and we have beautiful school grounds.

At Glenbrae school, we are positive digital learners who use all sorts of digital resources for our learning. All students who are year 5 and up receive netbooks which they have to pay for. Those who are younger use school Ipads or computers for their learning as well as their exercise books. Each netbook fully belongs to the student once they fully pay for the netbook. Older students use Google drive to write on documents and share their work to their teachers. Each student who receive their netbook have  4 folders in their drive Reading, Writing, Maths and Inquiry which is the same as topic.  

Also once you fully pay for your netbook, your parents could have a training session with your teacher so that your parents know how to use the netbooks and so you can take your netbook home. When you take your netbook home you get to complete your school work at home and maybe have free time. Luckily for those who do not have internet at home don’t need to worry, teachers take a survey of those who don’t have wifi and provide a password to the internet network TLN.

Part of our digital learning is our teachers create blogs for us so we can share our learning to the world. On our blogs we have a small globe that rotates and shows the people who visit our blogs from different countries. We share varieties of our work such as our reading activities, different genres 0f writing and what we learn during our lesson in class. To share our work we use google blogger, google blogger is where we make our blog posts and then publish them. It is important for our students to share our work so others know what we are learning about and so we can look back at our hard work.

Secondly, we have the best, intelligent and unique teachers. Our teachers plan and organize activities for us in the weekends and afternoons on school days so once we come back to school we are ready to learn. They work very hard to keep us on track in our learning by encouraging us and believing that we can make it to the national standard. But other than learning, my teacher cracks me up with her crazy dance moves, our teachers and staff have one thing in common. They make learning  fun and exciting. Plus we have the fittest, fastest, serious but  funny teachers who do all they can to improve our learning. Also our teachers make time to focus on our behaviour and the way we treat ourselves and others.

All teachers award and compliment all students on the great work they do.  They even compliment on our work on our individual blogs. When teachers comment on our blogs they teach us to be thoughtful, positive, specific and helpful in our feedback towards the other students. We receive certificates and rangimarie cards for respecting learning, environment, others and property. Not only do they give out rewards but they set our goals higher so what we are learning is not easy but hard, otherwise we don’t have challenge to face against. If our work is hard, we get stuck but very eager to get the answers so we keep on practicing and have more resilience.

Unbelievably, students are not the only people who have teachers but even our teachers have teachers at university. They have teachers to teach them more about great learning. Our teachers also go to conferences to share their learning to other teachers so they get an different idea of teaching. Which is also how our teachers have such unique ideas of how to make our learning interesting. By having their own teachers they learn what they have to improve on and what to work on to get to another level of teaching. One more thing, our teachers are not just wonderful educators but a great influence and role models to the children they teach.

Finally, at Glenbrae School our school grounds are beautiful. So far most of our school school grounds have been renovated and renewed. Especially our P.E shed, Arts room, Media Team room and our girls and boys toilets. Thanks to the help of our Kiwi can leaders  who organized and donated some P.E equipment to the school. Now that we have a media team room, our media team have room to edit and film movies. Also the builders  just need to add some finishing touches to our bathrooms which looks very fancy.

Not only do we have beautiful buildings but now have art murals that our Kiwi can helpers and students are finishing off. The art mural is based on the themes and topics we have in our Kiwi can lessons and with paintings of people playing sports. Our art mural is going to be displayed in front of the P.E shed so when we are on the park, we can admire the art mural.

Last of all, we have a rubbish free field and courts. Our field is edged by large trees, with a trail leading up to the field. We also have a little shade on the top to rest whenever you want to. Our courts are lined all the way through to the park. The courts are mainly for basketball and Netball and the field is mainly for soccer and rugby. We have one or two rules about playing on the courts, which is we can’t kick balls on the courts and you can only play touch on the courts so no one gets hurt.

Glenbrae School is the best because we  are smart learners learning digitally,  We have excellent teachers who comment positively on our work and we have astonishing school grounds with  beautiful art murals built by some of our wonderful students and our kiwi can leaders.
