Our main focus being Romeo and Juliet. We learnt about the story of Romeo and Juliet by watching a few videos that told the story. We then re-wrote a part of the story in our own words, and translated them with a Shakespeare translator. This was a lot of fun to then tell the rest of the class. After we finished our stories, we were given another challenge. In groups we would create a DLO that retold the story. My group created an animation. Although I was not here for creating the DLO, so thank you to Jonathan, Te Pounamu and Giovanni for creating the animation.<br />

Personification is giving human attributes to non human things. For our challenge we needed to get into pairs, and together write a story full of personification. Although there was a catch. Our story had to be about the life of a shoe, and include the 5 senses. Although it doesn't end there. With our partner we needed to sit back to back and <b>not</b> say a word to each other. We would each take turns writing a sentence. For this activity I worked with Julian and we enjoyed writing our story, and are happy with the outcome.<br />
<br />
<b>As my owner grabbed me, he stuck his stinky feet inside my mouth. It was just a normal day, so I was used to it. But then I overheard my owner saying he wants better looking shoes! When I heard that it felt like my soul was ripped out, oh wait he just shifted it around as it was uncomfortable. This was bad, I knew what had happened to unwanted shoes, I felt devastated. The next day we went to Footlocker the place he got me, and I feared for my life. He forcefully opened the door, I was scared, what would he do with me? He walked out with these fresh, never touched, elegant Nike's, I was being replaced by a model! Then he took me and my brother off of his feet and put on his new shoes, and tied us together. We felt betrayed. He swung us around and around and, BLAST!!! Stuck on a power line. As we dangled from the power line, tears fell from our laces as we stayed there waiting for our owner. The tears landed on his shoulder and he looked up at us, could it be? He thought about it and said, “Looks like it’s gonna rain” and ran off.</b>Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15227816186124241853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485117365477877610.post-29790061980678838912019-11-20T11:05:00.000+13:002019-11-20T11:06:50.116+13:00Reading: Horrible HistoriesFor the last 2 weeks in reading, our focus has been history. Specifically the Horrible Histories book series. For this activity I worked with Alex, Aung Naing and Julian, and we read the Horrible Histories Dark Knights and Dingy Castles. Our challenge was to use the information gathered by the books to create a DLO that talked about the things in our books, and an interactive DLO that others can join in on. We created a DLO that explained what a knight is along with some famous knights from history, and a Kahoot quiz that our class mates could participate in. When we presented, a lot of people enjoyed playing the Kahoot, and most people did quite well. This was a fun activity, and I enjoyed learning a whole lot about medieval times, and knights.<br />

She is the owner of a small business by the name of Foodprint. Foodprint is a business that allows people to purchase food that would've been thrown away at a much cheaper price. You simply download the app, look through the foods, and pick it up. Michal visited us to talk about her business, <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">and how businesses start as this is our Inquiry topic for term 4, Economics and Enterprise. Foodprint has been a business for 6 months, although it has been an idea for 2 years. Michal has for a long time thought about how much food is wasted, and this problem gave her the idea. Did you know that <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">20 million loaves of bread is wasted in NZ a year! I would recommend that you consider Foodprint as it is literally free money for the same fresh food you can get in a shop! Around 250 cafes supply Foodprint with the food they sell, so you can get a large variety of the foods you like to eat. </span></span><br />

We got into the pairs we were in yesterday for the Manaiakalani Film Festival. Although today Nevaeh was not at school so I filled in for him and joined with his partner. With Junior we created a Google Drawing that showed a picture of him, along with a sentence they wrote, a title and our names. I let Junior pick the colours of both the background<br />

Learning Space 2 would each take up the role of taking care of another student from room 6 or 7, although there weren't enough students for everyone so I helped take care of Khit with Aung Naing. We went to Sylvia Park by bus and walked in a line from the car park to the cinema. From there we waited for our cue to go into the theatre. We then sat our room 6 or 7 partners down on their seats and walked up to the top row in the theatre. The Manaiakalani Film festival was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed watching the movies. (Especially in the Lazy Boy recliners) My favourite movie throughout the whole film festival was Learning Space 1's 3 part How To films. My favourite out of the 3 was the How To Hold A Netbook film. If you would like to watch the film then click <a href="https://pbsls1.blogspot.com/2019/11/how-to-hold-netbook-ls1s-2019.html">Here</a>.<br />

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Today we had the next session of tennis for Kiwi Sport. In today's lesson we focused completely on learning how to volley. A volley in tennis is where you hit the ball before it hits the ground. We learnt how to volley by throwing the ball to our partner and doing rally's where we would count how many volleys we could do with our partner. Unfortunately no photos were taken of me or my partner so instead I have grabbed a photo of professional tennis player Roger Federer doing a volley.</div>

It involved a game about Market Day that we would play with a friend and see who ended up with more money at the end. The gist of the game is roll a numbered dice and move that many steps. If you land on a sale, you roll a dice with 2 J's (Juggling ball), 2 H's (Hacky sacks), and 2 B's (Bungy balls). Which ever letter you land on will be what you sell. Although if you end up landing on Market Option, it will give you a deal that you can give the customer that you could do or turn down. For this game I worked with Aung Naing, and we had a lot of fun playing the game, and tallying up how much money we made and lost. We hope we can play another game like this again.<br />

For this activity I worked with Julian and Jonathan, and we had a lot of fun. It was an interesting topic, but one we enjoyed.<br />

For this activity I worked with Alex and Aung Naing and we had a lot of fun creating this presentation. Once we had completed our presentations we would go to another class and present our rules to them. We chose to present our slideshow to room 1.<br />

Last week for maths, we were given a challenge. In groups, we were given a digital budget of $200 to spend on food and shopping for a week. This included breakfast, lunch, dinner and other necessities. For this activity, I worked with Aung Naing, Matthew, Nidhi, Angelene and Karlos. This was an interesting challenge as it sounds so simple, but ended up a lot harder. Although we still ended up having a lot of fun, and if you would like to see what we bought then I have put screenshots below.</div>

In this challenge we learnt the definitions of a need and want, the difference between them, how have they been met through a product or service, and how do we know when someone needs or wants something. With this knowledge we needed to get into small groups and create a DLO that fully explained everything we learnt. For this activity I worked with Alex, Te Pounamu, Joseph and Jonathan.<br />

Once we got into pairs, we would then find a dog breed and telly up how much it would cost raising the dog we would like to have. For this task I worked with Julian, and we had a lot of fun. From looking at prices, to just talking about our dog, we had a blast. The dog Julian and I decided on was a Tibetan Mastiff. We both chose this breed as it is large and fluffy, low energy, and extremely affectionate! Some things almost everybody wants in a pet. If you would like to read more about our choice of pet, I have linked our class presentation about the dogs we would like.<br />

This term the year 8's have been doing Woodwork with Mr Grundy, and it is about now when people have almost finished their projects. Today at tech, I have finally started to glue all of my pieces of wood together to form the shape of my truck that I will be creating. Although as most of this session was me waiting for the glue to dry, I decided to help my peers to help the time pass. Next week I will be working on attaching my wheels to my truck, and doing the finishing touches.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This week for Current Events, our challenge was to search the internet, and find an article that we found interesting. With this information we then found keywords, 20 important words, 6 of those words that are most important, and then make a 5 sentence summary about the text. Once we had written our summaries the final challenge was to turn those 5 sentences into 5 10 syllables sentences. I worked with Alex, Joseph, and Karlos for this activity. This was an interesting challenge, and I enjoyed learning about this new found organism. If you would like to read the article I have linked it below. </span></span></div>

The year 7's instead wrote about why they would be a good leader for Panmure Bridge School next year. I will be going to Edgewater College next year, so I wrote about that. I am really excited to be making a big step in my life and going to college next year.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why I Would Be An Asset To Edgewater College</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next year, I will be joining Edgewater College as my next school. I have been a part of Panmure Bridge School for the past 8 years, and it will be a big step in my life to be going to college. So without further ado, here’s why I think I will be an asset to my new school.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All throughout the past 8 years, I have been striving to be the best I could. I have been helpful to my peers, and they have returned the favour. I have always tried to do the right thing, and listen to teachers and staff. I try to challenge myself everyday, and each new day brings new learning and opportunities. I am the type of person who likes to try new things and ideas. I am the type of person who is not afraid of being wrong. And finally, I will try to accomplish my goals no matter what. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the end of last year, I found out that I reached my goal of becoming head boy. Being one of my greatest achievements, it meant a lot to me. Being given this new set of responsibilities has really taught me a lot, and I am thankful for the opportunity I have been given. Being Head Boy means I am presenting each week at assembly, need a loud speaking voice, and need to be confident. All the things a leader needs to be a good one.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am really excited to go to Edgewater College. And I am ready to follow my brothers footsteps. I too will most likely join the Jazz Band with my brother. I too will be joining a sport just like him. And I too want to enjoy my time there.</div>

We then needed to give an example of where to show those qualities. I chose to write about why showing those qualities to your parents are important. This was an interesting challenge as it was the first day of term 4, so most of us were in holiday mode still. Although it was still fun.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
Why Respect, Empathy & Tolerance Are Important Qualities To Have With Your Parents</div>
<br />I would like you to think about the amazing things your parents have done for you. When you break the rules or get mad at them, how do you think they feel? Once you’ve thought of this, what do you think you could do?<br /><br />The answer is simple. Be respectful, show empathy, and understand their tolerance towards you. Each of these words have a different definition, but in this case they are all linked. Respect - Showing that you care about others and their qualities. Empathy - Putting yourself in someone else's shoes, and imagining how they feel. Tolerance - The ability to know your limits when it comes to other people, and knowing when they’ve gone too far. Think about the BIG things your parents have done for you. Your parents raised you, and care for you as much as themselves. So it would help them out if you showed respect towards them, showed empathy, and know how much they tolerate you, and your boundaries.<br /><br />“But what about the big things I’ve done for my parents?” You may ask. A fair point. Without you, they would have never been given the experience of being a parent. Being a parent teaches them life skills, making them learn just as much as you throughout the experience. Without you, they wouldn’t have their own family who they can love and care for. You have done just as much giving as they have for you, so showing respect, empathy and knowing your boundaries is the final step. <br /><br />Now that you’re on the right track, do something nice for them to show them you care. Maybe make breakfast for them, buy them something they will cherish, or even just spend quality time with them. All these little things help to build a stronger bond with your family.<br /><br />So what do you think you could do for you parents? How do you think they feel when you do something wrong? And what amazing things have you done for them? After reading this text, I want you to be as respectful as you can to your parents, show empathy, and think about if you’ve ever gone too far.Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15227816186124241853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485117365477877610.post-20212037066767764912019-10-16T09:17:00.000+13:002019-10-16T09:17:46.098+13:00Inquiry: Water FilteringAt the end of term 3, Learning Space 2 got into groups and created water filters. We did this after we learnt about some of the third world countries that don't have access to clean water. With this knowledge, we spent a week researching, designing and creating water filters. My group and I have created a DLO for you to see.<br />

This week for inquiry, we have started our term focus about Economics and Enterprise. For today's and yesterdays challenge, we learnt about early Maori enterprise throughout New Zealand, and transferred that information over to our devices in only 5 sentences. Once we had our five sentences, our challenge was to convert the sentences to have only 10 syllables per sentence. It was quite the challenge, although I along with my peers Alex, Aung Naing, Te Pounamu and Nevaeh managed to get the job done.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
Original 5 Sentences<br />
Early Maori Enterprise started with tribes trading items all over New Zealand. Trades included a variety of foods, baskets and jewellery. Later on British travellers came to New Zealand asking for food, and other items. This turned into trades where the Maori people sold their valuable land and foods for unfair returns. This resulted in the Maori people selling too much of their land and belongings, leaving them with little to nothing.<br />
<br />
10 Syllable Per Sentence 5 Sentences<br />
Maori enterprise started with trading. They traded items like food and clothing. Soon British travellers came wanting food. The British also wanted to buy land. Then Maori sold too much, they lost their land.<br />

Some of the other questions were: What is the perimeter of a maximum size of rugby pitch? And, what is the area of a maximum size rugby pitch? After finishing all of the other questions, my group needed to create a DLO on how we found our answer.<br /><br /><img src="https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/e/2PACX-1vQhWBu1UR451h5muUORrM0Y7v6y1wEbbrZU4EjDjJu1HZW8DI0oI42OqKnLGy1ikSwtAuYJASsnNITS/pub?w=480&h=360" />Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15227816186124241853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485117365477877610.post-60552971199351882752019-09-25T12:34:00.000+12:002019-09-25T12:34:14.188+12:00Maths: Rugby World Cup Maths ChallengeThis week LS2 has been learning about the rugby world cup. We needed to answer maths questions like; What is the difference in seating capacity between the largest and smallest stadiums and, what the the total combined capacity of all the Japanese rugby world cup stadiums is. The question that my group made the DLO on is if all the stadia are sold out each time then what will be the total number of spectators for all the pool matches combined.<br />

For my story, I chose to write about Christmas. You can read the text I wrote below to see the points I go over, and a few extra details.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5 - 7 - 10 | My Favourite Cultural Celebration (Christmas)</span></div>
<br />Let me tell you about my favourite cultural celebration, Christmas. Christmas is a well respected holiday between my brother Latham and I. This is because on Christmas Eve, we can barely sleep! <br /><br />My average Christmas starts off by waking up, and running to my brother’s room. I would ask for the time, and if it was at least 6:00 AM we could get ready. Then we would go to our parent’s room, ask if we could open presents, rush to the table, grab our Christmas sacks, run back to our parent’s room, and let the fun begin. In our family, presents were not wrapped. Instead we could grab anything from our Christmas sacks, and put it in a pile. We would then usually hear, “Aww yes!” or “Oh uh, thank you!” Then we would hug our parents, and thank them for the presents they got us. <br /><br />Although that’s only the beginning. The next step for Christmas consists of us getting dressed, and getting ready overall. This is because later in the day we will be going to my grandma and grandpa’s house in Pakuranga, Auckland, along with everyone else in the family. Once we say hello to everyone, we would usually tell our cousins what we got. We would all hang out for a little while, until my grandma would bring out the food. This is usually buns, with chicken or ham and a plate of vegetables. Along with a few snacks, and hot cross buns.<br /><br />After my dad eats all of the food like a garbage disposal, my cousins, my brother and I usually get a soccer ball, and play for a while. This then brings our day to an end. Christmas is my favourite cultural celebration, as I love spending time with my family, but most importantly I like it for the presents. This year, the date for Christmas is the 25 of December, 2019, and I cannot wait!Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15227816186124241853noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485117365477877610.post-77776798637858131282019-09-11T10:34:00.001+12:002019-09-11T10:34:25.496+12:00Reading: International Current Events<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This week for reading Aung Naing, Joseph, Alex, Julian and I worked together to fill out a google map with international events. We needed to search through different news websites to find stories that fit the current event criteria. Our story for oddity is twin pandas being born in Belgium and for impact, bush fires.</span></span><br />

This challenge included 1 ginormous Krispy Kreme's donut box. Our challenge was to make an estimation of how many donuts were in the box. What we were given was a link to an email screenshot which showed a few of the hints we needed to be able to figure it out. This included the diameter of each donut, the length and height of the box, and a good luck to schools trying to figure the answer out. For this activity I worked with Julian, and we had just as much fun creating the DLO as we did with finding the answer. You can see in our DLO our first estimations just by looking at the box, and the working out for the real answer.<br />

We explored a bunch of different types of current events that are happening in New Zealand, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location onto a Google Map. You can click on each pin to see what type of current event it is, and the name of the headline. For some locations, there are multiple pins, just zoom in by scrolling to see more, or click the + and - on the bottom left of the map.<br />
