NEXT Foundation - Summer Learning Journey

The Summer Learning Journey for NEXT Foundation from Next Foundation on Vimeo.

Today after morning tea we had a special assembly in the hall, visitors from The NEXT Foundation and WFRC. The visitors were here to talk about the Summer Learning Journey and the film they made about Panmure Bridge School (starring Daniel). There were other students from LS2 that were also featured in the movie. After the special assembly we had a special lunch that was provided by The NEXT Foundation. We had a enjoyable day and fun time today and are looking forward to completing the Summer Learning Journey activities during the summer holidays.

Christmas in Canada

To celebrate Christmas we got into groups of four and worked collaboratively to find out about Christmas in different countries all around the world. My group worked on Canada and we found a lot of interesting things about Canada and what they do differently from New Zealand. In Canadian another name for Santa is Joulupikki or Father frost. To show our learning we recorded our google drawing using screencastify. I worked on this DLO with Shannon, Joshua and Magenta.

Panmure Bridge School - leadership

Yesterday afternoon San Kyaw, Joushua V, Freeman and I took photos on how we can show leadership next year. We chose two things that we can do next year to show that we are leaders. The two things we chose were Making sure that people are ok and not hurt, making sure everyone knows what to do. This was a great opportunity to co-operate with the people in my class. This is what we think teamwork look's like in Panmure Bridge School. 

Time Versus Money

This week for maths we focusing on round numbers to the nearest ten for example if a Ice Block is $1:99 and I round it to the nearest ten the Ice Block will be $2:00 or if a lollies is 1:34 and I round it to the nearest ten the lollies will be $1:30 because there is no 4 cents in New Zealand. 

Tech - Food Tech

Today the year 7 and 8 went to tech at Tamaki college for their second session of their new rotation. Half of the year 7 did art, the other did food tech and the whole year 8 did Hard Materials. Today at food tech Mrs Heka (our cooking teacher) explained to us how to cook bacon and egg pie. The equipment we needed was 2 measuring bowls, 2 knives, 2 choping board, 1 wooden spoon and a rolling pin. The ingredients we needed was bacon, cheese, spaghetti and dough. Each person had 4 pies. I worked collaboratively with my buddy's Jeremiah and Miki. The bacon and egg pie was delicious.

Tamaki College Digital Library

Today LS2 went on the Tamaki College Digital Library to focus on our Reading skills and knowledge. There books of Fiction, Non Fiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy and also Mystery and Suspense. I went on Mystery and Suspense and read a book called The Missing Mitt written by Franklin W. Dixon. The part I have just read up to was about two boys name Joe and Franklin who were getting ready for their baseball finals. They are running late but luckily Joe knows a faster way to the park.

Email Etiquette

This email etiquette is a reminder of how to write an proper email to someone.
We also have to know how to be cyber safe and knowing how to stay away from
fire walling.

Dance

Today at dance we had to improve and add moves into our dance. Our timing had to be right with our sharp angles in it we also had to have a good music choice and lastly with smooth changes. After that we had to video our dance in our groups with our music choice. I found exciting because we had to video ourselves. 

Inquiry

Today we had to write our opinions on how we should help to stop littering rubbish around schools. We had different opinions but had to pick one of our best without talking or arguing. Our opinions was to come school without packaged lunch. 

Dance

Today in Dance Sanujan and I had to practise our warm ups with our songs to perform to our group. In our warm ups we did toe kicks, star jumps, burpies and Russian twists. After that we had to make another dance using shapes, waves and different heights. Our dance moves were in different angles in 45 degrees Sanujan and I has been using geometrical shapes. I found this hard because I had to move like a robot.  

Kokako Lodge

Ofa, Jericho, Joshua and I made a brochure to give people good idea of places to go. This is my inside and outside of my brochure. It shows how it looks and the cool activities I hope people choose to go to Kokako Lodge.

Camp Diary

Today I transferred my Personal Camp Diary into a presentation. We had to do this because when we get older we can still access our Camp Diary instead of putting it in a book and getting it lost the next day I think this was a good idea because I will want to remember this day again.

Wood Work - Tech

Every Friday we go to Tamaki College School and do tech. This term at Tech I'm doing wood work with
Mr.Grundy. At Tech I'm excited to do cooking because I want to maybe discover new foods and maybe learn how to cook at the same time.

Futsal and Tennis - Riverside Courts

This is my DLO about going to the riverside tennis courts. We decided to play there because we wanted to know how a futsal and tennis court pitch feels like. First I played Futsal then moved to tennis this was fun because I scored 1 goal for team black.

Today my activity group made a collage for fun at camp. We included some people in our group we did pictures for nearly every activity at camp like making Milo, Chariot racing, Our class photo, pools, lunch, and archery.

Kokako Bird

Mataio, Ofa and I created this and we showed how much the kokako weighs, their habitat, their family, their predators and what they eat. We cooperated and managed to fit everything in.
