Kiwi Can

This week in Kiwi Can we were learning more about our topic and theme which are positive relationships and positive communication. Our teachers; Miss Paige and Mr Alipati also taught us a game called Chop Suey Salute, for it we needed to respond to commands with their set actions. For the first command we needed to punch outwards with our right hand, for the second we needed to punch with both our hands, for the third we needed to punch with both our hands and kick, the forth was a kamehameha action and the fifth was an uppercut.

Kiwi Sport

This week in Kiwi Sport we were learning about the different positions, locations and roles in Ki O Rahi. In the game, the two roles are Taniwha and Kioma, one of them tries to score while the other protects. Our Coach Shanice explained the names of all the different places, one of them being Te Roto and another one is Te Ara. In the game we played two people were in the middle, protecting the barrel whilst their teammates needed to run around the circle and tap the ball on the posts. The other team formed a circle around the two people in the middle and needed to hit the barrel before the people in the middle's teammates got all the way around.

Technology Lesson 1

Today was the first day in Tech at Tamaki college, this term Year 8 Group A are going to be making clocks in graphics. Our first task was to find and name all kinds of different clocks or things that can record time. Some of the things I found were sun dials, hour glasses, alarms clocks and clock towers.

Summer Learning Journey Assembly

Last Friday was the Summer Learning Journey Assembly where those who participated or placed in Panmure Bridge School Received their prizes and certificates. In this year's summer learning I managed to place first whilst Mele and Victoria placed second and third. I really liked completing this year's activities because I learned new and interesting things about New Zealand like how the sky tower is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. I also liked competing in the Summer Learning Journey because it gave me something to do in the holidays, instead of just sitting around like I'd usually do. Something I enjoyed in the Summer Learning Journey was the intense competition, because I always felt that if I slowed down someone else would overtake me- which pushed me to do more. 

Explanation Sketchnote

This week for writing one of our tasks was to create a sketchnote, at first we needed to write it down on paper and after that we moved everything over onto a google drawing. I worked together with Nyjah. In our sketchnote we have language features and things to do with the structure and paragraphs.

Heroes And Role Models Venn Diagram

This week one of our tasks for Inquiry was to create a venn diagram on the similarities and differences between a role model and a hero. Although there isn't a big difference between role models and heroes, since we look up to both of them, it was interesting to learn about.

Leadership DLO

This week we've been learning about leadership. Marieta, Joel, Viliami, Miiana, Sakina and I worked together to create a DLO on what a leader is, what goals we have as leaders this year, what responsibilities we have as leaders this year and what makes a good leader. For what makes a good leader we wrote things like: Someone who can step down and let others have a turn, someone who can take the initiative and someone who can learn from both their mistakes and successes.

Today Marieta, Joel, Sakina and I worked together to create a sketchnote on what a team is, our definition of a team is a group of people who work together to achieve a common purpose. In teams all members must respect one another, make sure everyone is included and respect all opinions. Three things that people need to do in teams are: Communicate, collaborate and participate.

Panmure Bridge School CARE Values

                      

Today Joel, Viliami, Marieta and I worked together to create a DLO on our school's CARE Values. In it we needed to include how we could show the values and what they mean, an additional task was to brainstorm how we could use pictures to show what the values would look like. For the confidence value we chose to have someone standing up and pretending to present their work which would take confidence and for other values we had raising one's hand to answer a question, picking up rubbish around the school and completing a set task.
