The Super Radio Reporters

We have just installed our very own FM Radio Station at Broadlands School.

Today, the FM Radio Managment Team did their first real live broadcast on the Broadlands 107.0 FM for one hour. Brendon Weatherley, from Classic Hits, came to listen and give some great advice! They had lots of sports events and music on there. It was great! We hope to hear them again soon.

The FM Radio Managment Team is Abby, Emily, Sophie, John, Ben, Reihana, David and Cody.

Caring for the People of Christchurch

Renee and Abby decided that they would raise funds for the Christchurch Earthquake. They asked Mr Taylor if it would be okay and then decided on a day. On Tuesday 1st March we had a mufti and wacky hair day. We also gathered together to have 2 minutes of silence at 12.51pm. That was a powerful and moving moment.

We are a school of 83 students and we raised a whopping $315.20

I asked Abby and Renee how they felt about that. They replied, "it was fun and we are proud."

I think they are two very caring and responsible girls and I am proud to be their teacher.

Triathlon Part 2

Don't forget to check out our Kidblogs!

Our Triathlon Experience

We have been writing recounts to record our Triathlon experience. We had heaps of fun! The best part of the day was a lot of parents and grandparents turned up to watch and encourage our students.

Our recounts have been made into movies using Windows Live Movie Maker and our brand new Easi Speak Microphones.


This is Keagan's recount but everyone is working hard to complete theirs and post them to their Kidblogs. Please have a look and leave us a comment. We love comments!

Pick Me!

I really enjoy seeing the students working together focused and cooperative.
As the senior class in our school, all the students are required to apply for positions of responsibilities. At this time of the year they work hard to impress us. They will do anything for you to ensure they get the best positions and hopefully chosen to be Head boy, Head girl or House Leaders.
All the students have been working together to create a format for their own CV. They have explored some CV's, written one for Hiccup and now they are working together to decide what they should put in their own. The CV’s will also form a part of their digital portfolio
As for the staff, it is a tough time choosing the right person for the lead positions as they are all so talented and we know some hopefuls will have their hearts broken.

Interesting Things About Me

In our first week of school we are learning to use new tools to support our learning. We are creating our own Avatars using:

As it is our first week of school, a lot of our learning is about how we can work effectively in our new learning community. Have a look here at how we have used these tools to share interesting things about ourselves.
