The picture above shows my finished piece of art. I am really proud of the outcome, because of the choice of colour of hot and cold.

Role of S.W.I.S

As part of my care awards one of the activities was to research the roll of the S.W.I.S company and how they are helpful in schools. This activity was under the Attitude award. I learnt that S.W.I.S stands for Social workers in school. The SWIS company helps other families in needs or are going through problems. They also help parents to get the right education for there child and to help them with school life events.

Dear Term 1 & 4 Nesi

At the start of Term 1 we wrote a letter to our future self in Term 4. In my letter I included questions that I would think about in Term 4 and some of my goals. Now that we are in Term 4, I had to reflect on my 1st letter and reply. In my 2nd letter I included the things I achieved and the great things I have done. From today, I have 172 blog post. I am very happy of the way I have turned out this year, because at the start of the year, I was so shy and scared, but now I am confident and independent. I really liked this way of writing.

A Group Reading Challenge

For last week and this week were split into read groups and had to complete some challenges based on the pigeons that saved the soldiers in the war. Most of the tasks were if they were special of pest. I think they are very special because they risked there lives to save other people and  helped them with other important information. We also synthesise our main ideas to create one statement and used it to back up our information. Our learning intention was to identify the main ideas in the text.

Hockey

Today we had our first session of Hockey for Kiwi sport. We first learnt how to dribble the ball and how to control the stick. Our first warmup game was octopus, we played this until we were warmed up and ready to play. We had to dribble the ball to the other side of the room  and had bounce the ball on the stick as many times as we could. After we learnt all of the skills, we played a game of hockey where the instructors called out a number and that people had to go and try score it. I had a really fun time at sport because I learnt some new skills,  

Library Visit

Today the librarians for Panmure Bridge School went down to the Panmure local library to see how they run things and how it is different to a normal school library. When we first got there, they told us some of the things the do and what types of job there are in a library. Once we finished that, we had a little tour of the library. My favourite part of the tour was when the lady ( Anita ) showed us upstairs where they had 2 lounges and how sometimes they would have a movie time. The next task was to order the books and use the skills we learnt. I really liked using the scanner because there was a little mat which we just put the book on and it will scan it for you. We also had to give them some ideas of some activities to do for the summer reading challenge. Once that was all done we had morning tea provided for us and it was time to go. I really enjoyed learning about what they do at a local library and what types of jobs they do. 

Speech Marks

Our focus in writing today was to understand how to use and punctuate dialogue. Followed by creating a DLO that helps others learn exciting ways of using dialogue in writing. I worked with Mia, We had to add examples followed by clip art images , 8 synonyms with the word said and explain how to use it. I found a video that can help others use speech marks correctly. I enjoyed working collaboratively with Nesi because we came up with some really good ideas. 

Reading Online Challenges

Today we had to play some online reading challenges. For these games we were practicing most of our reading skills, like inferencing, synthesizing , questioning, making connections, and visualizing. All of these games were really helpful because it made me think about all the skills I have learnt this year.

God wit / Kuaka Facts

 

 For this week's inquiry we are looking at the god-wit bird. I had to complete a grid of the habitat, appearance, diet, and predator and use that information to create a popplet that shows us what a god-wit is. I really enjoyed doing some research about this because I have never heard of this bird before, and because I found out that they can fly all the way to alaska without stoping for weeks.

Film Festival Comments

Today we went to Sylvia Park to the Film Festival 2016.  We had to comment on the film that were shown to show our support and our feedback. Here are my 3 helpful and kind comments. I really enjoyed watching Tamaki College's films because it was funny and it made us get hooked in straight away with the music and the effects. 

Hyperbole

This Week we have been learning about Hyperbole. Hyperbole is pronounced as Hi - per - buh - li. Hyperbole is used to create affect in our stories and not make them boring, you also exaggerate to make it more interesting but is not meant to be taken seriously. One example is I'm so hungry I could eat a horse. By this phrase they meant that they are really hungry they could eat lots of food.

CyberSmart Activity

This week, we had to trail a new cyber smart game to give them some feedback to improve it. This was the first task I tried. I had to explain 2 ways on how to hold a chrome book My first way was with you hands, you have to be really careful if you are walking around with it because it could drop and damage it. I think this was a really fun way of learning because we had to roll the dice and what ever number it says we go to that activity.  

Recount Quiz

For today's reading task we had to explore the clusters website and find some example of some really good recounts. I had a quick search on all the websites and found a really good one. I  then had to put the link of that writing and tell why I enjoyed that piece of writing. When I finished that, I filled out an quiz about some of the features of a recount. We were doing this to re think of an narrative since we hadn't done this topic in a long time. Some of the questions that were on this quiz was , ( In Which present would write a recount in or What tenses are recounts written in and excetra. I got 2 wrong which mean I need to work more on that.

Pigeons

For this week's reading, we tried a new way of learning. Here is how it looks like. In this, it includes all the things we need to know which is easier because we can all find it in one place. I really enjoyed learning on this site because I could find all of the things in one place.

Paper Planes

Yesterday, we had a collaborative challenge. We had to read the instructions carefully to find out what to do. I really liked this activity, because we all got to design our own plane. We had no help, our teacher told us what to do on the presentation, and we could ask her anytime for help. I really enjoyed it, because it was really fun and interesting.

500 blog post

For my whole life at Panmure Bridge school I have finally reached 500 blog posts. Our teachers are really proud of this achievement . I am really proud of this too, because we were the first one to reach 500. By having 500 post this means I always posted my work and always completed the task. I first counted all the blog post I had for the past 4 years and it equaled up to 500.  I am really happy about this and I am trying my best to get a higher number. At the moment I have 509. 

Jean Batten Timeline

In the picture above is a screenshot of a timeline I created. It has all the information about Jean Battens life. I found out some really interesting facts when I was creating these. I had to really think about what she did and when she first flew over the Tasman sea.
