Tech Reflection for the end of the year

 This year has been one of roughest year as we got into lockdown and things about as Covid-19 hit. On weekdays every friday the year 7’s and year 8’s students at Panmure Bridge School goes to tech, At tech we have 3 rotations, The year 7’s rotations went from Mrs Fregson,Mrs Heka and Mrs Sharma, Mrs Fregoson is all about doing robots and moving them around as playing with coding, Mrs Heka is all about making food and trying them out, lastly Mrs Sharma is all about having fun in science.  I think tech this year was the best as it was our first year doing tech, I really enjoyed finding out new things every friday with them. I think tech really helped me with learning different facts.

Tech Reflection

  This week is the last tech session for this year. For tech the year 7's students learned about plants and food. We learned about plants by answering questions  and finding out information about plants. We also really enjoyed going outside and only having 2 minutes to find 10 different leaves. One of the elements of science for plants is Size and Colour. I also really liked finding out the different  leaves between.  I also really liked enjoyed working with my buddies and understand different facts about leaves. I really like going to science at tech this year my favourt thing we did was picking the leaves today.

Care award collage

 For my silver Respect Care Award I have created this is collage about life at Panmure Bridge School. At PBS we are lucky to experience lots of different learning experiences both inside and outside of the classroom.  I  have included photos from cricket, kiwi sport, basketball, food tech and class learning.

Art colouring book

 LI: To experiment with colours.

This is the Big Ben clock and it is located in London. My Big Ben tower that I coloured is the top one.

This morning we tried one of this year’s Kick Start Summer Learning Journey activities. The purpose of this task was to experiment with colours by mixing colours from the original palette with pop colours. This allowed us to recolours famous painting or images of landmarks around the world. I think that the colouring activity book is really good because it helps people to to learn how to colour and it is also really fun.

Kapa Haka

Today Te Whanau Raukura preformed at our school they sung lots of songs and also danced. Te Whanau Raukura also preformed at the Auckland Museum but because of the lock down the Auckland Museum is closed. The dances they did were amazing. They used te rakau witch is a stick used to warm up before a battle. They also used a taiaha to fight. Bekah from Te Whanau Raukura showed LS2 how she use the pois the game she showed us how to play was pukana. The thing I found interesting was all the dances that they did.

Exploring our national current events

L.I To identify author’s purpose.

 Authors write for a purpose (reason). These reasons are to persuade, inform or entertain (PIE). Each day, newspaper editors around the world must make desicions about which stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening in New Zealand, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map.

Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

L.I To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me.

 A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today we considered both sides of the provocation, ‘Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’ We then used that information to help us form an opinion that we could justify with evidence

Maths

 LI: To create a DLO to explain how we solved the problem. 

This week for maths we were learning measurement's. In this subject we were talking about weight. The unit for measurement for weight are - grams, kilograms, tonnes etc. In groups we solved 3 problem challenges. For these challenges we wrote down answers in on pieces of paper. After we solved these challenges we created a DLO explaining our strategy and how we got our answer. For our strategy we used Place Value and a calculator because the numbers were too big for us to solve. In my group was Liletina, Hosea, Jayden, Fau and Diana.
