Cultural Day Feedback.

One of the highlights of the Cultural Sharing Day for me was the presenters. They did a great effort to do that job well because they were very confident. But in room 7 we were learning about South Africa. First of all some of the student in Room 7 were discovered to be a presenter and the rest was rotating around the classes. But I felt sad for the other kids because they were missing out the fun. Unfortunately they had a chance to rotate.

My Big Dream.







My name is Christian Patrick Eliza and I am from Tongatapu Nuku’alofa. I have one sister and one brother and I am the eldest. I turned 12 on 17 April 2012. The only thing that is amazing is that when it was 2011 I turned 11 and now it is 2012 and I am 12 ! So it keeps on going on and on. My mom's birthday is in July and my dad's birthday is in November. We live in Glen Innes. My grandpa used to be a commando for the Tongan police. My goal is to be like him one day. He loved being a policeman because he wanted to follow his grandpa's footsteps. My mom and dad were born at the    Vaiola Hospital. My favourite colour is blue and I really enjoy Mcdonalds.

I am interested in a singer called Michael Jackson because I have been one of his fans since I was little.

I really want a Rugby Scholarship when I finish college or University. When I was about 5 my dream was to be a future All Black. I still have that dream. I play for a club called University Rugby Club and that's where some All Blacks started playing when they were little. In my future I would like to see robots as our equals because they can do all the boring everyday jobs. That means I can get on and do the really exciting stuff in life.

The Road Safety.




Today Constable Julie came to Glenbrae School. She came to teach us road safety. She came into our class and gave us some information on how to be safe and judge distance. After this all of us went outside to do an estimating distance activity. I learnt how to judge distance more accurately. I enjoyed estimating the right answer and it was fun. I found it kind of hard because sometimes I couldn't understand the instructions. I am looking forward to meet her again and using the skills that she told us in the future.
