Tech

Today at tech we are transferring our designs onto our piece of wood. I have finished that step and are now up to colouring my finish design. After colouring my design the next step is to carve the piece of wood and use wet paint to finish our design. Next week I will be finish colouring my piece of art and will be up to painting it which I am really excited about. 

New Zealand ShakeOut

 

Today we were learning about the Shake out. If there is ever a Earthquake you should drop and crawl to a table or a near surface that you can and put your hands and arms around your neck and wait until the shaking has stopped.

Presentating My Overall Review - Diary Of A Wimpy Kid:The last straw

Today for reading we got into our Read groups and shared our Chapter Book Presentations that we've been working on for the past few weeks. I really enjoyed all my groups presentation but I personally enjoyed Jeremiah's because his own cover of the book looked Interesting. His book was based on War and his cover of the book included a lot of dark colours. I also enjoyed Mataio's presentation because he had two important themes which were being together and having friendship. The book my group read were Billionaire Boy (Ofa), Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Mataio), A Winter Day in 1939 (Jeremiah), Alfie Bloom (Freeman), Josefa and the Vu (Nyjah), and Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Last Straw (Me).

HIIT

Today at HIIT we did our last worm up before we did our last work out we picked our own exercisers LS2 group A picked Push ups, Sit ups, Tap Steps and Star jumps. the one I found hard was the push ups because my arms were sore from the other day. We were apart of AUT research. We have been doing HIIT for twice a week for 15 weeks we got puffed harder because we were more fit from the other sessions. It was nice to see every body committed to the HIIT training. thank you Tiava and Miss Anderson for keeping us motivated and thank you Tiava,Mataio and Lyric for being leading us every HIIT session.   

Maths Problem

Today our maths session was about exponents. Exponents is a shortened version of writing a whole equation. For example, 15 x 15 =  but to simplify it you can write 15 with a little 2 in the top right corner. I found this activity kind of hard at the start but then it started to get easier and easier. For this activity we put a DLO together to explain how we answered three of the exponent questions.

Illustration of Sentence - Colon

This writing session was about how to use colons.  For this activity I have chosen the sentence, 'You can come pick me up now: I am feeling much better.'  It also gives reasons for the placement of the colon in the sentence. I think my illustration clearly explains the meaning behind the sentence I have chosen.

How to tell analogue time

Analogue Time

Do you know how to tell Analogue time? I’m going to teach you all about how to read analogue time, first things you need to learn your time, by doing that you would have to learn every day so it will be easier.

The short hand represents the hour. When this hand is pointing at a number that means that digit is the hour. The short hand is the slowest of them all. It moves every 60 minutes which means it has been an hour.

If the long hand is pointing at the 12 and the short hand is pointing at the five it would be 5:00 or 17:00. If the long hand is pointing at the nine and the short hand is pointing nearly at the one, the time is quarter to one.

It is important to learn analogue time formally and may be helpful later in life. Now you know how analogue time works.

Maths Problem

This is a maths problem that I had to do the questions it was really easy to do but we had to show how we got the answers to the problem witch was harder than getting the answers. I worked with Zane.

HIIT

Today at HIIT we got to pick what  moves we did we all picked Push ups and star jumps. We did 4 rounds over and over. Thank you  to Mataio,Tiava , Zane, Lyric and Miss  Anderson for hosting us and keeping us motivated during the HIIT session

Where the children sleep

This week we have been separated into READ groups. In my group was Jeremiah, Freeman, Nyjah, Mataio and Ofa. Our task was to find out why sleep is so important for humans. One of the questions we were aiming as a group was Do all humans have the same chance of having a healthy sleeping? First we we focused only on our group and asked if we have the same chance of sleeping. We all said yes, but that hadn't mean that everyone has the same chance of sleeping because we explored other kids around the world you don't have a healthy sleep like us. A kid in Brazil sleeps on couches outside and a kid from Cambodia sleep on tyres and picks rubbish early in the morning. By learning why sleep is so important for us we also came through a work called inferring. Inferring means when you read between the lines and find hints in the text to answer a questions or guessing that something is true. Sleeping is important for your mental health because it restores our bodies and helps our brains to make strong memories and process about any information. People who don't have enough sleep or have sleeping problem can get to trouble as it can lead to disease such as heart & kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke. 

Careers

Today we were doing Carees. We were using a website that was really easy to use LINK. This was a really fun activity. We started  off with a test and answers all 78 questions then they gave us the qualification for what job we would like.

HIIT

Today at HIIT we got to pick what  moves we did we all picked Tap steps High knee sprint and Star jumps. We did 3 rounds over and over. Thank you  to Mataio,Tiava and Miss  Anderson for hosting us and keeping us motivated during the HIIT session 

M&M

Today I have been learning about M&M's. I worked collaboratively with Fui, Julian, Aung Naing and Marieta to find out some facts about M&M's. I found out that a man called Forrest Mars created M&M's by seeing soliders eating a sugar coting shell with chocolate inside. From now on today M&M's are a known to be favourites.  I also learnt that peanut M&M's were invented in 1954.

HIIT

Today in HIIT we were doing pull ups push ups and squats. I really enjoyed doing the pull ups with the stick we had to keep our body straight and then do as much pull  ups as we could in till the buzzer when off then well either swap with our partners and encourage them or well swap with other group and carry on going around that same place 3 time. Thanks to Mr Ogilive for setting it up and encouraging all of us to do harder and push our self's. 

Kiwi Can

                                 
This term our topic for Kiwi Can is Integrity and our theme is Accountability. Integrity means to be honest for doing something when no one is looking or owning up to you mistakes. Accountability means to be responsible for the actions you do.Our energiser was to get as many cards as possible before the other team takes it. Our activity was to make two truths about what you actually did and one lie that you didn't do. It was a hard game to play because most of the questions looked like they were the truth.  Before we finished Kiwi Can we went straight into the general knowledge questions. Kiwi Can learns more and more new things that Panmure Bridge school shows and what they have learnt to achieve this goal. It was great to attend at Kiwi Can. Thank you Miss Lilly and  Mr Matt.

Tech Reflection

Today at Tech we were doing Putter casting with Mr.Grundy. Some of us were finishing  off our work book and some of us were sanding I am still working on my work book I am almost done all I have to do is add 3 more pictures to my work book then I get to draw one of my designs I picked.

Kiwi Can

This week for Kiwi can we were learning to work as a team. Our topic this term was is integrity. Integrity means to show kindness when no one else is looking and doing the right thing. In kiwi can we talked about how we can show how we can respect others in our own ways. To show integrity we played a game called captain ball. The aim of the game was that their were 4 teams and we needed to choose 1 Person from each team to be the person to act and we had to guess who they were.  

Tech

Today for Tech we have been learning about pewter casting. The first thing that we had needed to do was read the rules for the pewter casting tech room. We were first asked questions if we knew what pewter casting was and what it is. Our task was to find out what we wanted to create and how we will be using it or even who we were making it for. So Mr Grundy had sent us a worksheet showing who we will be creating our design for. The Designs I am making for are my mum, dad, cousin and myself. We chose 4 of each items that we wanted to create into our DLO. But the thing is the images we had chosen had to be silhouette so it would be easier to create. The thing is our images couldn't be thick or else it would bend or snap. I had enjoyed doing this rotation because I would really want to make something special for my family. 

IPhoneFakeText

For writing this week we were to go on a text creator called Fake iPhone text to write a fake conversation between two peoples we could int use name form our school so I chose mike. First we were to write the message in the Fake iPhone text message.After that we were to write the message in a story format that included punctuation such as speech marks. This meant that we were to write every thing that a new person said on a new line.
