It's Cool 2b me

This week we filled in a DLO about ourselves. It is about your goals, who you want to be when you grow up, things you like doing, your best friends, favorite foods, great things about me, your wish, and qualities you look for in friends. I like this DLO, because people can look at it and learn about me, and what I look for in friends. This was so fun. I hope people will know me more better.

An upward struggle

Jess was a normal woman who loved to do rock climbing. She went on an adventure on a high cliff that she loved to climb, but every time she climbed it got even harder. Lara wanted to be a professional climber. Everyday she practised on the same cliff. The thing was even though how much she stretched her whole body was aching after her climb.

The time was 4:40Am and the sun would rise at 7:25Am in the morning where she would climb up the cliff until sunrise. Halfway up the cliff she was sweating and she could taste the saltiness of her sweat as it ran down to her mouth. She saw the view of the mountain across the bay like it was right next to her. She had a quarter left to go but there was a challenge ahead:

The rocks were starting to slip as her hands were sweaty and she thought she was going to slip, but luckily there was a little platform where she could just reach. The time was 6:50Am so she had 35 minutes to reach the top. She was almost there. She realised that she dropped her water bottle while she was climbing and she was so thirsty but she kept climbing. She was filled with happiness because she made it to the top.

This week for writing we did another writing activity, But this time we had 10 minutes to plan, 5 minutes to write, 7 minutes to chat about our writing with a partner and another 10 minutes to write more. This one was easier because we had an extra ten minutes to plan unlike the first time we didn't have time to plan. This was fun to do.

5-7-10

L.I: To use 5-7-10 to write creatively.

Lightning never strikes twice, does it?

That was the question that occupied their frightened minds as they crouched, huddling together, next to the pile of dusty sacks in the base of the windmill... This event started on a sunny morning when a group of college friends were planning to go on a trip because they were on a college break, and they knew they wouldn’t have anything to do. 

Between the 4 friends there were two girls and two boys getting ready to go on their trip. They knew that there was a chance of a thunderstorm. On their trip it started to rain, and as they went further on the rain got harder. They saw strange things as the night was rising.

Soon after it started thundering and both girls were getting scared of the loud noises. The two boys found a windmill and they went inside since it was the only source of cover that they found nearby. They went inside and huddled together in the dusty sacks waiting for the morning.

When the morning sun rise was upon them they woke up with relief that they made it through the night with no injuries. They went home safely and agreed that they would never go on a trip without making sure the weather would be sunny or at least not be a potential thunderstorm.

For the first day of term we started by doing a writing activity called 5-7-10. In this activity we we first had 5 minutes to write as much as we could using this in the start of the paragraph, That was the question that occupied their frightened minds as they crouched, huddling together, next to the pile of dusty sacks in the base of the windmill...

Goodbye Term 2 of 2020

Term 2 has been the weirdest term of the whole of my school life. In Term 2 we had something called level 4 lockdown, which meant we had to stay inside of our homes. All of New Zealand was in this level 4 lockdown for around 7 or 8 weeks. We were in this lockdown because of the Covid-19 pandemic. We had 12 weeks of school because two of those weeks that we spent in lockdown we were meant to be at school. When Panmure Bridge School were in level 4 lockdown we were keeping our learning going. It also meant that it was longest Term that any student in Panmure Bridge School has experienced, But luckily we are having our school holidays now so we can have a break from school and work for 2 weeks. Next Term we are having our first interschool sports since the level 4 lockdown. This blogpost was just so I can say Goodbye to Term 2 of 2020. Everyone have a safe holiday and be ready to come back to school for Term 3.

Matariki Challenge 4

L.I: To explain what tools they used to harvest?



For the fourth Matariki Challenge we did a DLO about harvesting the food. In Matariki they would harvest all of their crops and have a huge feast, they would usually cook the crops in a hangi. This activity was done by helping each other write the information and help finding out some crops they harvested. This activity was fun to do.

Matariki Challenge 3

Learning Intention: To explain what Matariki is and why we have it?



For the third Matariki DLO we wrote the importance of Matariki. This DLO was about the importance of Matariki. This DLO was simple to make because we were working on this DLO together. Matariki is the mother and the six daughters and they are all the seven stars of Matariki. This DLO was fun to make.

Matariki Challenge 2

 L.I: To explain in fewer words what Matariki is about?



For the second Matariki Challenge we made a summary about Matariki. This summary was about who the stars were and when the Matariki stars come out. This DLO was made by the same group as the first one. We worked together for all of the activities. This activity was fun to do because I got to look for the words which helped us get the task done faster.

Matariki challenge 1

L.I: To use our knowledge to explain what Matariki is?



This week we made five or six DLO's about Matariki. This is the first one in this DLO we talked about what Matariki is. This DLO was made in groups. In my group there was Matthew, Giovanni, Azatulah and myself. In this DLO we wrote about what Matariki was, and what it was about. This activity was fun and interesting to do because we worked well together and we didn't know much about Matariki.

Tech (Robotics) T2W10

L.I: To use the infrared sensors to follow the lines.

This week for Tech we had a little revision about binary which was what we did last week. Our task was to make our M bot move in a figure 8 on a black line. Our revision was the binary work we were doing last week, binary is how robots and computers work. First we started by making sure our M bots were working properly. Then we were making sure our code was correct, but we kept going back and forth so like trial and error. Tech this week was fun to do.

Respected Leader C.A.R.E Award

This week I made a DLO about a respected leader. The respected leader I chose was Matthew I chose Matthew because  I have known Matthew the longest and because I know how hard he works to be a good role model even though he gets himself into trouble. This task was easy to do but was one of my favourite ones. The photo of him was made this year by him when the whole class made a digital made potrait. This task was fun to do because of how I got to talk about a leader of Panmure Bridge School for 2020.

Robotics

L.I To code the Mbot using Mblock so it could move in a square.

This week for we had our first Tech Session back at Tamaki College. We were with Mrs Ferguson Doing coding. We used Mblock to help us code our Mbots. This week was just about revising what we did last year with our old robotics teacher Mr Krishna. The first thing we did was make our Mbot move in a straight line. Then we coded our Mbot to move in a square. This was more challenging than last year because The wheels were loose so the Mbot would move diagonally. Tech this week was fun to do.

Maths DLO

L.I To find the most efficent strategy to solve the problem.

This week LS2 were working on a DLO about Ta'Ovala. The answer we got was 39 We did, 1/2 of 12 which was 6 then 1/2 of 6 is 3, 1/2 of 3 is 1.5. The 1.5 x 26 = 39. The question was How many metres would they need to make 26 Ta ‘Ovala? The main information was For 8 Ta ‘Ovala, it takes 12 metres of material. This Maths challenge was fun to complete.

Maths Challenge DLO

L.I to find the most efficient strategy to solve the problem.

This week I made a DLO with my partner Ong about Fish. We got four questions, the question were about fishing. The main information was that they caught three fishes every hour and threw 1 fish in the first hour and subtracted 1 from the three fish. We added the main information. This activity was fun to complete.

Maths challenge 1

L.I to rind the most efficient strategy to solve the problem.

This week I worked with Matthew to complete a Maths cahllenge because it is the second day back at school. This activity was about weight, fractions and fish. We first tried to work it out on a piece of  paper. After that we made a DLO and copied the information on the paper onto the google drawing. Once we completed the DLO we presented them to some of the class then blogged it. This challenge was fun because I could communicate with someone.

Maths Challenge 2

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to help you solve the maths problem.

For one of the maths challenge like the others this one was my favourite to do because it was about a Hangi. Hangi is a traditional New Zealand Māori method of cooking food using heated rocks buried in a underground oven. I used two different stratagies the easiest one for me was the one at the bottom. This challenge was fun to complete.

Maths Challenge 3

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to help you solve the maths problem.

For the third maths challenge it was the same as the other two maths challenges. The third maths challenge was really simmilar to the first one it was about a Ula Lole or Kahoa Lole. I had to find how many red fruit bursts and green fruit bursts would fit in a amount of a Ula Lole like how many red fruit bursts would fit in a Ula Lole that can hold 65 lollies. This challenge was also fun to complete like the other ones.

Maths Challenge 2

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to help you solve the maths problem.

For the second Maths challenge it was like the first challenge but different questions and a different topic. In Q3 Once I figured out to add 7 + 4 = 11 it was easy to come up with the strategy to find out how many in total Koro and Zion had harvested between them. This challenge was fun to complete.

Maths Challenge 1

L.I To find the most efficient strategy to help you solve the maths problem.

For one of my Maths challenges this week I made a DLO about Kahoa Lole which is a lolly necklace. This chalenge I answered 3 questions that were given to us. One of the questiong were Nana is making Kahoa Lole for prize giving. If every Kahoa Lole has 21 lollies in it and she has 138 lollies. How many Kahoa Lole can she make and how many lollies will she have left over? Once I answered all 3 questions I explained the strategy I used to answer these questions. This challenge was fun to complete.

Kelly Tarltons

For another one of the home learning activities. This one is about a place in Auckland called Kelly Tarltons. I worked with Matthew and Afa for this activity. The first activity was about how much it would cost for our whole family to go It would cost $159 for my whole family to go. The second activity was an info-graphic about one of the sea animals at the aquarium we chose a Seahorse, and the last activity was about the opening hours and the ticket prices
