Dear Term 1 Me

By the end of the year, you should have reached the national standards in all subjects. Did you spend your free time at home doing homework instead of watching T.V? You can work at home and do your quick writes to improve your writing. Did you show leadership and receive an award at prize giving. You can do this by showing respect and staying out of trouble.

I hope you have earned all care award badges so that by the end of the year you will have eight badges altogether.You can earn your badges by using your free time in class to complete tasks on the list. Were you paying attention in class and reading 30 minutes every night?

I hope that by the end of the year you will have achieved this list and I hope that you will be accepted into a great college

Dear Term 1 me,

I have accomplished many tasks but little did we know we accomplished much more than that. This year has been a blast! We went presenting to many places and made many many friends across the cluster. We have come so far and being maniakalani Leader me so many great opportunities wich I never would have thought of when I was nominated. We now have all 8 badges and 500 blog posts! It is still not confirmed whether I reached the national standard but fingers crossed. Reading 30 minutes every night was a tough job but most nights I read as much as I could. Next year I will be in Selwyn and Good luck to 2017 me!

500 Blogposts

This is my last year with my device and I have reached 500 blogposts! To celebrate this Mrs. Anderson has come up with this amazing idea to celebrate this. She has created this beautiful animated image to show our 500 blogposts. I feel really proud to acheive this reward as this is my last year. This will be a major goal for the year sevens next year,

Paper Planes

Today we had to analyze our measurements for our paper planes. Since we were put into groups of 6 or 7 we had to come up with one design using our plane creations. We then tested our planes and Evelyn's one was the fastest. After we had the competition. Zahn was the fastest thrower. Thomas was the winner since his plane went to furthest to 14.1. Our learning intention was to design and make a paper plane that will fly the furthest.  

A Quality Blog Comment

Today we were trialing a website created for the students in the Maniakalani cluster. It generates a number and the number you land on you click and there is an activity. In this case, I got the number 4 and this was the activity I received. I think that in every great comment there should be these three included.

Jean Batten

AS our topic this term is flight we have done a lot of work about Jean Batten. Jean accomplished many things in her life.

Loud Word Climb

This is a word climb on the word loud. I created the google drawing so that it looked interesting. Next time in my writing I will definitely use these words instead of loud.

Main Idea - Wright Brothers

Today we were learnt four structures that are in a text. These are scaffold text, complimentary text, challenge text and self selected text. We read about the wright brothers using the scaffold of the four structures. The scaffold is the structure which you build up your knowledge with facts etc. We then made a DLO about the main idea about the text using the facts.

Influenza

This Prezi is all about the flu. As this is the most common type of sickness I thought it would be important as to why we have the flu and how to prevent it. There are many interesting and crazy facts bout how the Saxons cured their symptoms. Our class used the word generator and instead of word we put in letters. From there the generator would generate a letter and we would learn about something starting with that letter. I got the letter S so I chose sickness. As I was searching up about sickness I ended up going deeper and deeper into learning about influenza.

Maths - Zeba

Maths 

Since our tests were coming up our maths group has been working hard to learn as many things as possible within the time that we have. This week our group was given a problem worksheet, our Learning intention was to solve everyday multiplication problems in context. We were practising working taking out equations from word problems and solving them.

How to Narrow a Search

One Wednesday the year 8's and some of the year 7's got a chance to learn how to research. Mrs. Oglvie came to our school and we learnt how to search for the correct needed information and led us to great sites wich will help with our learning.

Why It is Important To Drink Water

This is a Google Drawing created by Zeba and I based on Hydration. We have written down why it is important for Panmure Bridge School students to drink water, what hydration is, what dehydration is and a 25 word challenge about why water is important for you.

Forces of Flight

Today we had our first unquiry rotation. This term our topic is flight. We discussed the forces of flight wich are Lift, Thrust, weight and drag. This google drawing that I have created collaboratively clearly explain the forces of flight and Isaac Newtons first rule.

Haoura

This week for inquiry, my group rotated to Hauora. Hauora are the four walls that keep your life together. The four walls a Taha Tinana your physical health, Taha Hignenaro your mental health, Taha Wairua spiritual well-being, and Taha Whanau wich is your family. These four walls belong to the Whare Ta Pa Pha. To create this presentation I collaborated with Riley from LS1

Transum Day 2

Day 2 - Today I played three games as part of Transum. I chose my favourite one to share. In this game, you can play with your friends.   It is a challenge where you have to get the right number. There are red things they are called the Conga disease more develops as this is how the game gets harder.

Maths

Today, in class during maths time, Mrs. Naicker's group were working on problem solving. Our Learning intention was to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of decimals. To warm us up we practised our basic facts with a mix of division, multiplication, subtraction and addition. Many people in our group scored 30/30. Our group also played hit the button, we had a competition about who could get the most division questions right. After that we were sent to complete our problem solving. These are mainly about subtracting and adding decimals. I have become more confident and faster with working with decimals.

Cross Country

On Wednesday week 7 we have cross country. These 4 weeks we have been training around the school running laps. Everyday we have been adding laps. I think this has definitly helped me prepare for the actual cross country wich will be an extremely long legnth. The image above as one of me pacing myself with my friend Zahra. Pacing Oursleves is something that will keep our heart rate at the right pace, if we ran fast than we would have to stop and then get a stich. In the beggining I ran but then stopped quater of the way and then walked. As I went long I have realised ways I can keep myself at the right pace. One of them are when I am tired I count 1, 2, 1, 2 with every step I take to keep me going. 

Personal Trainer - Inquiry

These two weeks, for inquiry with Mr. Ogilvie we have been working on the training of athletes. In this DLO I have created a schedule wich focuses on all of the key skills needed in sports. These are agility, strength, and endurance.

Olympics Artwork

To create this piece of artwork our class had to work collaboratively or else none of us would be finished. This challenge was set for us to work collaboratively to show sportsmanship. Sportsmanship is one of the big things that are used in the Olympics wich is why we created this piece of artwork. Before we were able to move onto the next step we had to help our classmates so that no one was left behind. First, we grabbed some shapes and drew them on a piece of newsprint and then when we had our final design transferred the design to proper paper were we would be colouring in pastel with. We choose a colour and then found different shades by using different pastels or blending them in to make darker or lighter colours.when our athlete had been printed we glued it on a piece of black paper, cut it out and then took the paper off. With that piece of paper, we glued it onto our artwork. It thinks it looks amazing in our classroom and like very colourful when they are displayed.
