This is my screencastify video about my lockdown flowchart. Sorry about the background noise but enjoy this post :)

Maths Activity

Today we had a maths lesson with our group. This week we've been learning about decimals. We did a activity with decimals, we went outside my maths group. Then we got our papers with different decimal numbers on it. The instructions was to put it on smallest to biggest, we tried doing it with our first try. And then Mrs Tofa told us if we got it right or wrong. We got it wrong but at least we tried our best, we swapped places and then Mr Tofa told us we got it right. So then we came back in a group and discussed what we did to get the right answer with the decimals. This was fun to do and I had so much fun learning about decimals. 

Big Bang Theory

Magazine template

This is my 4th activity I did for reading, 4 more to go and this is my magazine template and my poem in the middle of the template. This was fun to do and writing a poem about coronavirus, and I hope you enjoy my magazine template DLO and hope you learn something new :)

Brian Bilston

Refugees by Brian Bilston

They have no need of our help

So do not tell me

These haggard faces could belong to you or me

Should life have dealt a different hand

We need to see them for who they really are

Chancers and scroungers

Layabouts and loungers

With bombs up their sleeves

Cut-throats and thieves

They are not

Welcome here

We should make them

Go back to where they came from

They cannot

Share our food

Share our homes

Share our countries

Instead let us

Build a wall to keep them out

It is not okay to say

These are people just like us

A place should only belong to those who are born there

Do not be so stupid to think that

The world can be looked at another way

This poem is a very powerful poem. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Yes because it's negative and it's keeping other people from their country, only the people that were born there can stay in that country. There's a hidden message in 2 ways when you read this. 

Brian Bilston received a lot of recognition for this poem. Find out what you can about Brian Bilston and create a DLO to teach others about who Brian Bilston is.

Already blogged it

Some people will disagree with this poem. Why do you think?

Because in this poem it talks about negative things about people and only people that were born in that country can live there. 

Why do you think Brian Bilston wrote this poem?

To tell people to stop entering their country and saying only people that were born there can live there because that's their own country. 

Who is the target audience for this poem?

It's the people that are starting drama, but they don’t know the hidden message while they’re reading the poem Brian Bilston made. 

If you could choose the most powerful line in this poem, what would it be and why?

The world can be looked at another way, I choose this line of the poem because the world can be looked another way for many reasons. 

What do you think of when you hear the word refugee?

Something happened to a family, which means they had to leave their home country and move to another country. 

What are refugees?

A family leaving their home country to live somewhere else.

Find out some stories about refugees around the world. Create a DLO to teach others about your findings. Examples - Syrian refugees, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kosovo…

_____________________________________________________________________________________

This is the 3rd activity I've done for reading today, this is about responding to the text, like reading the poem that Brian Bilston wrote about other people entering his country and responding to the questions we got given, and needed to make 2 DLO's that were given in this text. This was fun to do and learning the hidden messages behind the poem, hope you enjoy this DLO. :)

Maths

Today for maths I did another individual activity for maths, This was good understanding but kinda hard not knowing what the answer i'll get to this. But it was fun and enjoyable because I'm still learning or wot not and its good to keep on trying, and don't giving something up and finish something you've started. 

Maths Activity

Today for maths we did individual activities, I needed to work out the perimeters of the rectangle and add them up to get the answer to my problem solving question I got. This was good understanding but kinda hard when it comes upto the adding bit with these huge numbers. This was fun to do and learning how to add the width and length. 

Maths Activity

This is a activity I did today for maths, its about measuring the piece of string and seeing what it adds upto altogether. The answer we got was 4.9cm, and the 2 answers we got before we add it was 1.3cm and 3.6cm so altogether those 2 answers added upto 4.9cm. 

Gock family | Activites

This is another activity I did for reading today where I needed to answer the questions about it. This was fun to do and answering the questions I got given for my DLO. 

Education

This is what I've been doing for our reading activities for the past days/week. We've been learning about Mr and Mrs Gock, and there family and what they invented, what they changed about the world. A interesting fact/information I learnt about Mr and Mrs Gocks is they invented seedless watermelon, stickers on fruits/vegetables, and having fresh broccoli. This is the fun learning we do learning about these great people who helped New Zealand and the world with everything they did. 

Te Oro Workshop Trip

Today we went to the Te Oro workshop as a school trip, we went with the whole room 7 and room half of room 9. First we went on the bus and took our bags with our lunches in it and everything else that we needed. When we got there we meet one of the teachers that was gonna teach us. We had to wait outside for a little while then we took off our shoes and went inside while they were singing. Then we sat down while one of the other teachers were saying a karakia / prayer. After that they all introduced us to them and talked about what activity they're gonna do. After all of that talking we went into groups and them went to our work shop tables and started with our lesson that we got today. We were mostly talking about Matariki and the importance of it. My group first did art, we did 4 patterns that were Pikopiko, Niho, Koru, Margpie that were the 4 designs we did today for art with our 2 teachers. This was fun to do so after that we went to see the rocks with Whare Kelly and she was telling us the story behind all of it and why its important for us to keep it and how long shes keep her rock for. Later on after all her talking we went back in the work shop and started painting our rocks and designs them. This was fun to do, after that painting we went outside and learnt the Matariki maccerna. After learning that each group got up and they had 3 speakers to talk about what they did, and something they learnt during there work shop lessons. After that everyone standed up and did the dance that we learnt then sang a song then said a closing karakia. Today was a fun day because I learnt something different and new and it was so much fun going on this school trip after lockdown. 

Brain lesson with Mrs Turner

Yesterday we got a brain lesson with Mrs Tuner, we learnt different things from the other time she came to Glenbrae school. Yesterday's was about the simple things about our brains and AMYGDALA. The first thing she told us about our brains and names about it and then she told us about the bones behind our head which was the bone and alerts the other body parts. After learning all about that we watched a video about a producer and her kids telling us about what they feel and everything else. This brain lesson was fun and learning about brains was a good thing. After the video she was telling us about it and asking us questions about the video that we watched on the t.v. Later on she taught us something to do with our hands, So we used our hands as a example of the smoke alarm and the senors it tells your body if your safe or now. So the thumb was the switch / on and off and the rest of our fingers were telling us if we were safe or not. Example - The smoke alarm went off because it smelt fire, thats the senor that told the smoke alarm to go off and sometimes it plays up so you need to becareful with smoke alarms because sometimes they can fool you. This is what we learnt yesterday about brains. 

Rhys Maths Activity 1

This week for Maths we were solving Rhys maths activity, and we were solving it. This was fun to do and kinda confusing but we got the hang of it and answered it and got the answer to this problem solving. 

Reading Enjoyment

Today I was reading a article about the New Zealand warriors on kiwi kids news. It was talking about how they lost there game to rabbitohs 40 - 12 they're game was in Sydney on a friday night, And during 2020 they had a roller coaster season with having six games and only won 2 games. This was shocking news for me cause I thought they won all there games except for 2 or more. But this was fun reading it and shocking news for others. 

Individual work

How do these images support the text about the Gocks winning the Bledisloe cup?

	This is an image of the award / prize that Mr and Mrs Gock won when they saved the kumara from dying in New Zealand. They got this award because they’ve been saving and inventing lots of things which changed New Zealand.
	This is an image of a broccoli that Mr and Mrs Gock kept fresh and they’ve been saving it in cooler boxes, they invented something that was when the broccoli was yellow they didn't know what to do with it so they invented something that was about having a cooler box and putting the broccoli in to keep it nice and fresh.
	This image is  about having less seeds in the watermelon. This is something that Mr and Mrs Gock invented in New Zealand which changed the fruit and vegetable shop.
	This is another image of Mr and Mrs Gock who  invented putting stickers on the fruits and vegetables individually. They did this so people would know which fruit/ vegetable is which.
	This image is about Mr and Mrs Gock saving the kumara, and also getting a award/prize for saving New Zealand's kumara.
	This is an image of  Mr Gock holding the box with the fresh fruits and vegetables in it, they’re trying to keep the fruits and vegetables cold and they used this box and they’re cooler.

Today for reading I did a activity about Mr and Mrs Gock, they've been working on inventing things and saving vegetables and fruits. This was about how I support the text about the Gocks family winning the bledisloe cup. This is what I've been doing for reading, which is a reflection for the individual work. 

Problem Solving | Maths

Before the week ends I decided to post my other maths activity I forgot to blog. This is a maths activity I did that was about time. It was kinda hard understanding it but I got to understand it and solved it to get the answer to the question I got. Hope to do more fun maths like these and understanding it. 

Maths

Today I did another maths activity and I was solving the question if a car drove at a speed of 50km/h and it has travelled 225 km, how long did it take the car to arrive? This is kinda hard to understand it but I got the hang to it and started problem solving it and got my answer. This was fun to do and getting the hang of doing different activites for maths :)

Problem solving | Maths

This is another maths task we got to do, which was problem solving one of our other activites. This was confusing and fun to do because i was trying to measure it. This is fun to do because I'm trying something kinda new and kinda hard at the same time, but I got the time to understand everything I needed to do to get the answer to my maths problem solving. 

Maths

Today for maths we've doing fractions, we did making ta'ovala as our problem that we needed to solve. The question was Malakai's mother is making ta'ovala for all the boys in the Tongan group at school, Each boy needed 1 1/2 meters of mat and she has 30 metres. How many ta'ovala does she make? We need to problem solve how many boys were in the Tongan group and how many metres they need for their ta'ovala. My group was Ali-Jon, Soane, Valarie and I, we were working together and helping each other out so that we could get the answer to it. We first problem solved the 1 boy and added it with 1 1/2 and we got 3 metres and then we did it over and over until we got 10. But then after that we were getting the answer which was 20 but we thought it was a different answer so we did it the same way that the other group did so we got the answer 20. Then it was times up for finding out the answer to it, so then the other groups got to solve it so then we finished with our maths lesson. 

Gock Family | Writing

We first got into our maths group and Mrs Tofa was working with our group which was taha. We were solving a fractions problem where the each house had 10 liters of water and the two groups that finished there water was Nikau and Kauri, and the 2 other groups that never finished there water was Rata and Kowhai and we needed to solve how much water was left altogether. At first my group that I was working with was a bit confusing but then they explained it to me and then I finally got the hang of it and knew what I needed to do. So this was lots of fun learning something I haven't learnt.

Kiwi Can

This week we got another lesson of Kiwi Can with Mrs Grace and Mr C Manu, our theme was positive relationship and we also got to play 2 fun games. First we got in and they talked about what we were learning about last week. After talking about that we played the first game which were Up and Down, this game was about one side to flip the cone down and the other team had to flip the cone upwards. This was a funny game to play and it was fun flipping over the cones and having to verse your friends or other people. After we played the energizer we talked about the game and if it was fun or not and then we did the catch phrase that Mr C Manu made up for us to learn. Later on Mr C Manu asked Karlos to be in his role play and then they tried and acted so that after they acted we could ask questions about how he could be changed. Nextly when Mr C Manu and Karlos finished acting and answered the questions we played a game called street fighting, for this game we had fight actions which were 5 actions which were 1 for one punch, 2 for 2 punches, 3 was kick, 4 was upper cut and spin and five lastly was air push, there were two different teams and the leaders were Mr C Manu and the other leader was Mrs Grace. We played that game for a few rounds and then got the finals and they played a round and then got to verse the other team and saw who was going to win and then we got the two last people. They had a round and the winner was Haylee from our team and the other team sadly lost but that was a fun game to play.

Pewter Casting

Today was another time at Tamaki College doing Pewter Casting with Mr Grundy. Everyone was just showing Mr Grundy our 16 images and we choose the one that we were going to do and then he would tell us the rules when someone is carving there shape everyone has to be 1 meter away from that person and only Mr Grundy could be close. I was changing some of the images because it wasn't really good enough to use and I just went up and searched different ones that I could find that has no holes in and thats a good picture that I could trace, if it wasn't a picture I could trace then I would need to change it to something easy instead of hard. Then I saw everyone tracing there images and going upto Mr Grundy so that we could help them a bit and then they will be tracing there pictures that they will want for there necklace to be looking like. But today was just fun looking for silhouette images and some others tracing there pictures.

Kupe and James Cook | Venn Diagram

 This week I worked with my groups to make a venn diagram about the difference about Kupe and Captain James Cook and in the middle it had the same for both of them. I was working with my group and on the DLO, thats all the information we came up with to compare the both of them. Captain James Cook and Kupe have a difference for each of them and they both come for different countries from around the world. In this DLO we got more information for James Cook and less information for Kupe. 

Summer Learning Journey

Last week friday we had the Summer Learning Journey cluster come to Panmure Bridge School to give out certificates and prizes to everyone who took part of the Summer Learning Journey from 2019 to 2020 over the summer holidays. First we had them come up and said thank you to everyone who participated in the Summer Learning Journey, and then showed us a video from 5 or 4 years ago. After that they came with the certificates and said everyone's names and went up and stood on the stage, then took pictures and then they called up the top 20 or 10 people who won there prizes.

Kiwi Can

Today we got another Kiwi Can lesson with Mrs Grace and Mr C Manu. First we came in and greeted them and then started with our energizer. The first game we played was the push up challenge. How to play we you get a buddy, after that you have a cone in the middle of you and your partner and someone tells you the magic word and if they don't say the magic word and you still touch the cone your out of the game and need to do a push up. We played a few rounds of that game and then sat down and talked about giving it a go and sharing your experience. After talking about giving it ago we played a game called 1v1 and you got a partner and the teacher will say do a dramatic crying for example or some type of action and when you turn around to your partner you show them by giving it a go. We played a few rounds then did the end of the road GKQ. GKQ is when the teacher asks questions and you have to answer quicker than the other person, and the team that won was the boys and sadly the girls lost, but we enjoyed playing that game.

Tech Reflection

Today we got another lesson at Tamaki College for Tech, with Mr Grundy for pewter casting. We were working on our work book. We needed to have 4 people with 4 ideas with what they liked. Its kinda like what we did last week with our work book. I did all the 16 silhouette images I needed and asked Mr Grundy to look at the images that I added onto my work book. Mr Grundy was just checking my images and some of the ideas I put down. After that I got the advice he told me and edited my work book and put proper silhouette images onto my DLO. Then helped my friends with some ideas of people that they were choosing and helped them with finding silhouette images and finding ones that Mr Grundy would do and help us with.

Cricket Reflection

We had our first lesson of Cricket with Brian from HPPC which was teaching us how to play. The skills we learnt was batting, fielding, bowling, scoring, teamwork and communication. It was a lot of fun playing cricket with everyone in LS2. We worked in teams and had to think about how are we gonna be communication with our team. Sione got the highest score in our class with 20 runs. With the batting and bowling there is different rules. This was a fun first session of cricket with Brian who coaches us cricket for kiwi sport.

Summary

Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a very important time in New Zealand history. In 1860, representatives from the British Crown and Maori Chiefs signed a treaty of agreement, to let the Maori have ownership over their land and property. Partnership, Participation, and Protection were the underlining principles under the treaty. They got the treaty to be signed by over 500 Maori chiefs. 

Haylee, Sakina, Victoria, Florence, Ellenora


This week for reading we were doing a summary about Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I was working with Haylee, Victoria, Florence, Ellenora, Sakina and I. We all worked collaborative. The words that were lighted were the six most important words that we used in the sentences, and wrote more information about what happened in the past days, when the British and Maori and everyone else signed the treaty of waitangi.

Tech Reflection

This week was our first session of tech with Mr Grundy. Today we looked at pewter casting to make jewelry. First we planned our designs and who our recipients were. Mr Grundy showed us the steps of creating our designs, so we could have a clear understanding on how we make it. There were a few designs we were thinking of making.

Kiwi Can

LI: To include and engage others by being sensitive to their feelings. 

This week was our first session of Kiwi Can with Mrs Mac and Ms. Grace. The theme for this term was positive relationships, fairness, and Fairplay. We started with an energizer, called Change Places. For this activity, Ms Grace called out some things that we might like and if we liked it, we would change places with a different person. After we did our energizer, we talked about words related to empathy, which were courtesy, common sense, and consideration. Some examples to show courtesy with words are having manners, being kind, and being polite. Some other examples to show courtesy without words are hand gestures, facial expressions, and body language. To show common sense, you make wise choices and trust your instincts. Some ways to show consideration is thinking about others and how people may feel. Lastly, we talked about some ways to show empathy which are, being kind, supportive and being considerate. After that, we did an activity, where we acted out the positive or negative ways of showing empathy. In our group our play was about someone crying because she was bullied, so we decided to cheer her up.

Why Is Plastic Pollution A Problem For Our Coastlines?

Why is plastic pollution a problem for our coastlines?

Do you like seeing sea animals caught up in plastic every year? Well that's what will happen if we keep throwing away our plastic in the wrong places. The plastic that we throw on the streets make their way to the drain, then it leads to lakes, rivers, estuaries and the sea. If we don’t put our plastic in the rubbish it can harm many animals as they will think its food.

Did you know that over 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes of plastic enters the ocean each year? That plastic can get tangled around the throats and stomachs of marine mammals and can harm them. 

The more people fill the ocean with plastic, the less marine animals we’ll have. The generation of sea animals will be gone and the ocean will be filled with plastic rubbish. You can help stop this by collecting all the plastic you see laying around.

Plastic makes up 90% of the pollution on the ocean's surface so don't be lazy and drop your plastic. Do you want to be swimming in plastic?

Plastic takes over 450 YEARS based on what plastic it is. Did you know that there is 26.8 million tons of plastic in landfill? We need to recycle our plastic or you'll have plastic fish and chips for dinner.

Florence, Miiana, Ellenora,Leroy

This week for writing have been writing a explanation in groups. I was working with Florence, Leroy, Ellenora and I we all worked collaborative. Our explanation was why is plastic pollution a problem for our coastlines?. In our explanation we explained everything and used language features, which were, Present tense, simple, compound, and complex sentences, and many more. This was just a warm up before we have our tests and were gonna already know what to use in our explanation. My group and I did a really good job on this explanation and gave reasons why or we should be picking up plastic rubbish. A explanation a reason why or something should be the way it is. If you don't pick up plastic rubbish would you like plastic fish and chips for dinner?

Thinking Teams / Maths Questions

Today in maths, we worked in our thinking teams to find the answer to maths questions. In the photo you will see my group, "Less, Same, More", working out the number value of our group name. To do this we used addition strategies and our place value knowledge. In the second activity we worked as a group to put the population numbers in order, from the highest to lowest. To do this we used our place value knowledge.
