Food from South America

Each class in the middles and seniors were given a continent to learn more about. Particularly more about the food that they eat. Room 11 were given the continent South America. We were given the task to create a creative slide including the information needed. Take a look at the slide below and see if you can learn something new from it. 

DISCO 2018!

Last night, Glen Taylor School held its very first disco for 2018! The student leaders planned the event and the teachers helped out! Of course, DJ Vino was there to play our school jams. I myself attended the disco and it was awesome! Everyone was enjoying themselves while dancing the night away! There was food on sale and lights were beaming across the room. For our first disco of the year, it was pretty amazing! 

Here are some photos of the wonderful event.

Have you tasted a Samoan Umu?

To celebrate Samoan Language Week, Room 11 decided to eat a Samoan Umu for lunch which was made by some students (Including myself) and we had the help of Mr Fa'alili as well. After assembly the selected students went down to Mr Fa'alili's house and prepared the umu there. I had the pleasure of seeing the process happen. We helped out with the food and when we waited for the food to cook, we played  bit of rugby, touch and volley.

When the food was ready we gathered them into boxes. The food was super hot when we unwrapped the foil from the food. We then took the food to school to enjoy with our classmates and Room 12. The food was very yum and our plates consisted of Pork, Chicken, Taro, Crabmeat Salad and Fa'i.

Here are some images of the students hard at work while making the umu. 

Our Annual Culture Festival 2018

Today was Glen Taylor Schools Annual Culture Festival and it was awesome! So many beautiful colours, music, yum food, awesome dances and entertaining intermissions. Our student leaders had hosts the festival today and we did a pretty good job! I loved getting to see all the different tastes of dances and music from every culture group and everyone was absolutely stunning in their awesome uniform! I was in the Samoan group and it was very fun performing on the stage, even though it was very very hot. Island plates were on sale also some homemade/shop sweets from parents! It was a fun, relaxing and exciting day and because it was my last Culture Festival at Glen Taylor School, it was the best!

Here are a couple of photos taken from today! Enjoy!

Family Fun Day

Today I attended Glen Taylor School's Family Fun Day. Family Fun Day is a chance for parents to meet the principal and teachers of there children. There was also music, sausage sizzle, Mr Whippy and the swimming pool was open! I had a lot of fun dancing to the amazing remixes from DJ Vino! There was also a bouncy castle and different tables set for people that came in from the community! Like Marist Rugby Club, SKIDS and the TRC! Here are a couple of photos from Family Fun Day!

You thought the bouncy castle was only for kids!

Cultural Festival Day

In the beginning of the year Glen Taylor School had there popular Cultural Festival Day. Cultural Festival is when students pick a dance group that they want to be in.    



                                                                               





The options are different countries so that means that the country you choose is the cultural dance your group will be doing. Everyone had a lot of fun.                                                                                                                                      

There were foods on sale and all the different colours and costumes were very amazing and beautiful. Our beautiful hosts of the day were Miss Tupou and Miss Siale ( The Cultural Festival Teachers).

                                                                               



They had done an amazing job and so had the stars of the show.... THE STUDENTS! Take a look at some photos that were taken!
