End of the Year

It is almost the last week of the school year for Panmure bridge, LS2 Have each made some sort of collage/movie of their learning over the year. June, Jasmine and I made a 2 in half minute video showing photo’s of our learning journey over the year, we enjoyed going back and looking at all the memories in the photos we had in LS2. We (Jasmine June and I) are really excited to share our learning over the year with the world.

Rockets

Today,  LS2 had their second full day at Tamaki College to finish creating our Rockets from last week. Mr Dunn and Mrs Ferguson made sure we had created our rockets and launch them by the end of time being there.  Most of us had finished our rockets all ready to launch. Some people still needed to finish off Rocket. Almost every group's Rocket launched into the sky. With help from Mr Dunn's drone, we captured footage of the rocket launched with the help of camera's we got most of the photos/videos.

Tahuna Torea

We went on a trip to Tahuna Torea yesterday for the whole day, The reason behind this was our topic for this term was all about migration. We learned about the godwits and their long trip to New Zealand from Alaska. While we were on our trip our goal was to take photos of Godwits and bring back some more information about where they live.

Kuaka Reading

Today for reading LS2 were learning about the Bar Tailed Godwit. We were split into groups, our groups name is R, we had to complete the activities that Mrs Anderson set for us. We first did the connections, in the connection challenge we had to learn about connections There were three topics Today, 30 Years Ago and 100 Years ago. We also did Reciprocal Reading, we had to read the text about the Bar Tailed Godwit.

Athletics Day

Today we had athletics day, It was really exciting experience. The year 8 were split into three groups and I was in one of the groups. As a group we cheered each other on to complete the course or obstacle. We only got up to five obstacle which they are rob the nest, sponge relay, long jump, shot put and hula hoop throw. We came first in each obstacle except for shot put, we came second in shot put. We had a amazing time but it was very unfortunate that we didn't get to finish all the obstacle, credits to bad weather. It was really good too see people cheering our team mates on and showing respect to one another.

how to write a formal Comment

Today I made a DLO about what we need wen we are commenting I also put an Example of a comment and now when you o to make a formal comment know what you need in one.

Paper planes

While it was hot and burning, the LS2's pupils decided to create paper planes and analyse the information/ measure how far the plane would go depending on what type  (They had used). 

Mrs Anderson set us a silent challenge, Mrs Anderson showed all the groups their task without speaking ( She played videos to make sure that the groups knew what their task was). Even those I joined this experiment while the paper plane craze was happening, I did get to create a paper plane but also use another plane to see the difference of the planes. All these photos in the collage represent a certain way or the process of the experiment.  In 1 photo, you can see a group of people working together to see which one each person and create their own paper plane ( Depending on what they chose). The others show, a person testing their plane and is about to make it fly! In the last two photos, it shown that they are throwing their airplane and testing how far it can go. Most of the these photos are from my group and the last one ( The photo on the bottom right) is used to show another angle and way people threw their paper plane from.  Mrs Anderson set us a silent challenge, 

Scaffold text

Today we read a quick story about the wright brothers about how they were the very first people to fly a controlled plane.

My Magic Box

I will put into the box …

A Silver fern from a New Zealand tree’s

The bond of Friendship that will never end

The taste of snowflake mounting on my tongue

A beautiful flower that reminds me of the love in the people around me

I will put into the box …

A verse of the New Zealand Anthem that we sing as a family

Necklace of animals that I love as friends

Shine from the summery sun on a hot day

The story of the beautiful girl's and boys the light up my world

I will put into the box …

The New Zealand flag that I stand tall and proud by

A dress that I shall wed in from my Grandmother

A drawing by my best friend of Mickey mouse

My box is fashioned from Greenstone and Maori wood carving  and Steel, with some Tiki’s on the lid and Family photos in the corners. Its hinges are joint by the journeys I travel as I go over hills and under bridges as I go through roads that lead me home.

I shall share my good memories in my box only good shall ever enter my box for all my children and their children’s children for them to add in when I am gone.

Today we looked at a poem by Kit Wright called The Magic Box. Part of our learning this term has been to think about how we can use words to paint a picture in the mind of the reader when we write a description. I used things from my cultural thing that I like.
