L.I To create a kowhaiwhai pattern to represent summer
LI: To write a quality blog comment on someone else’s blog that starts a rich learning conversation.
LI: To collect materials needed to successfully complete our weekly superpower building missions with Nano Girl.
This morning we started off by doing the summer learning journey task with the year 7’s and 8’s.They helped us by understanding what to do. My partner from LS2 was Liletina and she helped me understand what to do. I really found it fun and interesting to work with her.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
LI: To create a DLO to explain how we solved the problem.
LI: To create a DLO explaing the Law of Inertia.
L.I To right a explanation.
Why did you drop that piece of plastic? Do you know what you are doing by dropping a piece of plastic?
Did you know that the sea animals are dying and we are the ones killing them. If you want to be eating plastic and chips then keep dropping your plastic & if you want to eat fish and chips then stop throwing your plastic on the ground because it will go to the ocean.
Birds are getting strangled in the nets and eating the plastic that we throw on the ground. We have to help the sea birds by putting our plastic in the bin and taking the plastic out of the ocean.
Even sea turtles are changing their shape because people are throwing the plastic can holder on the ground and the wind blows it away into the ocean and is getting stuck around the body of the turtle and the turtles are eating the plastic we are putting in the ocean.
Most of the sea animals are mistaking the plastic as food. Did you know that a turtle got a straw stuck in its nose and a vet had to get it out.
If we keep dropping our plastic we won't be able to swim or have fish and chips again we might have plastic and chips. I don't want to have plastic and chips. We have to prevent the plastic from going into the ocean so we can care for the sea animals and the ocean.
L.I To do Te Reo maori challenge.
This week for the Te Reo challenges we were doing are family trees.We stared to do on a peace of paper and then some of LS2 toke there family trees home,and we showed are parents.Then we made are family tree on a google drawing.Then we wrote dawn are family members names but we only write dawn the names of are family members that we know and we also had to write dawn the moari names.
This week we did a DLO that talks about ourselves the most. It talks about what our favorite food,Our best friends,quality I look for in friends,I wish,great things about me,my goal,Fun things I like doing and if I could be someone else who would I be. My favorite thing about this DLO is that I can write what ever I want and no one can judge me because this is about me.
LI: To identify what we know about science
Today for Tech we had science with Mrs sharma. First we got new booklets from Mrs sharma. and on our booklets we wrote what we think science is and if we have a question that we would say to a scientist then we got A3 paper. After that we folded our A3 paper into quarters then we wrote the most science words we can write in 2 minutes . Then we drawed a picture of what we think scientists do there that we got photos of and we picked one each and after that we wrote about what the photo is about.
This week Panmure bridge students got given Duffy books. I was happy and excited to take these books home and read them. The Duffy books I got given were the Avengers and the Invincibles. These Duffy books will help me with my reading. A huge thank you to Duffy for the books that I got given. I am looking forward to read these books and read them to my brothers. The Avengers book is about Iron man,Caption America,Hulk,Thor,Hawkeye and black widow who fights for those who are good.
LI: To create a timeline to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh.
Miss Rebecca is our dance teacher. The topic is me and my body. We did dance to express me by doing movement and by creating shapes with our body to the song. we had to dance around until the music stopped then we had to be collaboratively with our group and make a shape with our body. The fun thing about dance is that there are no wrong ways to dance. you can dance however you want.the finish this is that we needed to work together to see what letters we can get in to we had four groups of six and in that six people we all had to try do the alphabet with the whole group

LI: To find the most efficient strategy to answer the question
This week our group practiced finding the answer to written maths questions. To do this we needed to first find the numbers we were working with. We decided the most efficient strategy was to use our times table knowledge. Being able to find how many groups of a number made this strategy efficient.
LI: To read the information in the text, think about what you have read and form an opinion
We read the story ‘The Protest March’ then made connections between what is happening in the world now. We used the information in the story and our prior knowledge to help us form an opinion.
For writing we have been learning how to write a procedural text. To do this we used the recipe we followed at Tech. This procedure tells the reader how to make hot cakes. Before we wrote this we worked collaboratively to order the pictures Mrs Anderson took of us making the hotcakes. Once we had done that we matched each photo with a verb. A verb is an action word and tells anyone following the recipe what they need to do. After that we use the verbs as sentence starters and collaboratively wrote a list of instructions.
L.I to stand up to bullies.
Today for Tech we did food technology with Mrs Heka. We made a curry rice salad, first we got our bowls, measuring cups and measuring spoons. Then we got our ingredients it was 1 tablespoon of curry powder, 2 tablespoons of corn bits and 1 tablespoon of beans. After that we got our bowl of vegetables and then we cut our onion,red cabbage and peould our carrot. Then we put our onion in a big pot then we got our oil and added it to the pot with the onion. Then we got our cooked rice and mashed it then Mrs Heka came and started the stove for use to cook the curry. After that we added our chicken into the pot with the oil and the onion then we waited for the chicken to turn white then we added the rice and misk the rice and chicken together and then we added the curry powder with the chicken and rice till it turns yellow and that's when we added the beans and the corn bits it was fun to make.
For reading we read about Elephant dung paper. I found lots of interesting facts. Did you know Elephants drop 16 dungs a day?. The paper dung maker picks up sacks of dung which is cleaned in a boiler before the paper is made. Elephants can produce 50 kgs of dung each day!
