Inter school Athletics

Yesterday some students from Panmure bridge School went down to Lloyd Elsmore Park to participate in the inter-school athletics. The event that I was participating in was long jump and high jump. In the morning the boys were doing the track events and the girls were doing the field events. After that we had a break. My next event was long jump. The event after I participated in was high jump. We didn't get to finish it because most people had to do relays.

Fire Station Trip

On Tuesday LS1 and LS2 went to the Panmure Fire Station. We learnt about Fire trucks and the different tools like (Ladders, pumps, hoses). The firefighters also demonstrated how they got someone out of a car if they are trapped inside of it (They used the glass cutters and spreaders to take apart the car). It was really cool and interesting watching them remove the windscreen without making it shatter. Everyone had a great time and had loads of fun. 

Fire Station - Summary




On Tuesday, LS1 and LS2 went down to the Panmure Fire Station. Our inquiry for this term is our community so we have been learning about the different places in our community. After the trip, we came back to school and wrote a summary about our experience. First of all, we (I was working with Daniel, Nazella and Shakaia) got twenty words that we thought were important, then we got six words from the first twenty words and used them to write a summary about firefighters.

Summarising DLO




Last week Calvin and I decided to read a book called Robert the rat. We managed to read half way through the book, so we made a Summarising DLO. We had to write down 20 important words from the text we were reading and turn them into the 6 most important words. With those 6 words we had to sum them up into a few sentences.

Police visiting PBS


Today we have had an amazing afternoon because the police officers came to our school, this was probably the best police visitors we have ever had in the school because the police helicopter came and landed right onto our school field. It was a big surprise for me because it was my first time seeing a helicopter with my own eyes because I only get to see them on films or video tapes. Did you know that the helicopter goes 232 kph (WOW!). Did you also know that there are only 2 helicopters here in Auckland ?. My second favourite part about the visit was seeing the German Shepherd police dog come over to see us. It was fully trained and understood what to do when the other officer Grant was giving him commands. This was one of the best visits I have had so far for my last year here at Panmure Bridge school. Another fact about the helicopter is that it costed 850K for it !!?( that is a lot of money).

Dental Health DLO



Today we were learning about oral / dental health and I made a DLO to show my learning. This is an animation Shannon and I made using google slides and it shows why you should brush your teeth and what can happen if you don't. It is very important to brush your teeth and NZ is one of the worst countries when it comes to keeping your teeth safe. So let's change our ways and start to brush our teeth. This animation is intended to educate the younger audiences specifically room 4 in PBS.

Film Festival 2017

Yesterday, the whole school went down to Hosts Sylvia Park for the 10th annual Manaiakalani film festival. The films that were shown there were created by students from the schools in the Manaiakalani cluster. My favourite film was the one LS1 made. It was about two boys trying to survive in a school full of crazy people. When we got back to school, we went on some of the other schools videos and left some comments. All of the films were creative and I enjoyed watching them.

Badminton

Today we were learning how to keep a rally going using the forehand grip and backhand grip. I find using the backhand grip better for serving and forehand for hitting the shuttle. I really enjoy Badminton that is why this is one of my favourite Kiwi Sport this year.

Animal Adaption



Today LS2 learnt about animal adaption. Animal adaption is when an animal has been living in an environment that might have some harsh conditions so it then adapts to that habitat to make it suitable for them. This is a presentation showing how Bengal tigers adapt to there environment and how they are able
to survive in there habitat.

Badminton

Today for kiwi sports we played badminton. For badminton we were practising the forehand and the backhand grips. After practising our forehand and back hand grip we started to practice how to swing the rack to pass the shuttle to your partner but you had to keep an eye on the shuttle. After that we had to hit the shuttle to your partner as long as you can Carl and I got 45. Playing badminton is very fun to play.

Explanation

How Children Learn At School. 

On the first day of school, young students go to a class where they meet new students and start a new learning day. The first day of school is very challenging for kids because they don't know where to go and what to do.

The teachers teach new students how to do good things. They first teach them how to count up to number five and learn how to read easy words from A to Z.

Teachers teach children how to collaborate with each other, E.G (Help each other and share with each other).

Did you know students can learn from each other if they tell stories about very interesting things from cartoon movies. They can also explain what they did in the weekends that way they could almost do the exact same thing.

On my first day on school I had to learn from the mistakes I made. Also I'v lean't how to make new friend's.

This week for writing we have been practising, how to writing an explanation to First we wrote on a piece of paper. Before writing it we planned our explanation so we know what to write in our text. Calvin and I were partners. We learnt that in a explanation there has to be a title telling why or how something works, the introduction which has a hook like a rhetorical questions, 3 Paragraphs of interesting points in order and the conclusion. The writing below shows you our explanation we wrote about How Children Learn At School. 

Screencastify




On Friday we had Ms Grant teaching Ls2 how to use screencastify. We were screencastifying our maths strategies. For this we first had to write our scripts, then we had to click on the Screencastify extension. After that we had to start recording. Setting this up took long, but we did it. It was great learning a new way to learn and share our work.
