Current events

Today for week 2 term 3 we were focusing on current events. What we were researching about was the Pou whenua. We compared to different poles like the totem pole and the pou pole. What I found out about the poles was that they were from different countries like North America, it has the totem poles and New Zealand has the pou poles. My partner and I worked collaboratively because we both worked on one thing at a time so that we knew what we were doing. When my partner needed help I would get some information to help him finish of the task.   

Careers

Today for inquiry we were finding out some questions about our future jobs. We were focusing on how much money we would get and if we would be rich. The highest amount that I went up to was $600.000 per year. That is a lot of money to get and earn. I found this job really irritating because you have to put someone to sleep and put a needle inside of them. This job will be the most good job for me because you can get a lot of money towards your bills and your house. I think that this job is a suitable job for me because I know how the needle hurts and how it goes in.

Careers and Jobs

Today for week 1 term 3 we were focusing on Careers. What I found out what careers and jobs are similar to is that jobs have a long period of time to work and careers are just a short time of working. As we were answering the questions most of them were jobs around the world and the jobs that people that work there. Some of the jobs have a lot of money to work for and earn. A good career or job to work for is something that you like. Most jobs don't have a lot money because they are easy to do and don't need a lot of money to work out of. The most important thing to work is to make sure that you have a roof under you head and food to eat.  

Kiwi Can Reflection

This week we attended to our first kiwi Can of the term. The topic for this week were Resilience. What resilience means is recovering from difficulties. Our theme was goal settings. What this meant was setting goals and challenging yourself to achieve it. Our first energizer we got straight into was called horses and jockies. The main thing to win the game was to get to your partner first and if you are the slowest one to reach to your partner then you are out. Unfortunately we didn't win. The next game we played was called the hoop in the cone. The hardest part of this game was actually getting the hoop in the cone. The rules were simple because we could understand part of the game. As the other teams scored more points than us we almost caught up to them by 50 points. Our points were 350 points and our goal was to reach 650 points but we didn't reach our goal.

HIIT Training

Today for week 1 term 3 we were practicing on our fitness exercises. The exercises that we have chosen to do was the star jumps, tap steps and the high knee sprint. These were probably the easy ones to do because it's not making your muscles feel painful. I found this task very interesting because I did my hardest to achieve my goal and to finish it. We did 2 sets of each and 12 in total to finish. I knew that the easy things wouldn't be hard to do and it will be finished quicker than doing the hard exercises.

Pro's and Con's

Today we were creating a poster about Pro's and Con's. This was about the lighthouse in France. What we created was incredible because all the information each group has presented. It was hard to not get the answer that the other group has. I found this task interesting because we worked collaboratively. The Pro's and Con's were great to do because we had different ideas adding up to this lighthouse in France.  

Chicago sports team presentation

Today we were creating a DLO about Chicago sports team. What I found out about one of the teams was they recorded all there victories since 6 years. I worked collaboratively with my group because we did the same amount of work and we all communicated. When one person was finished they would have to help the person that is not finished. We managed to finish this task.  

Lighthouse Story Presentation

Today we were creating a DLO about the lighthouse story. I have shown the important things to do with this story. I researched about this tower and I found a lot of information that focuses on the lighthouse story. The information that I found out was hard work because it was difficult to get this information. I found an interesting fact and, did you know that this lighthouse is made from stone. The lighthouse is a octagon shaped lighthouse. The lighthouse is 157 meters tall, the meters of this lighthouse is 47 meters high. The lighthouse is located in France and the name of this lighthouse is "Phares dan la Tempete, la jument, In english it means "Lighthouse in a storm, jument."

ASB Getwise

Today we were exploring things about saving money. This activity was about not going over the budget other wise you are out of the game. At first we had been given $1,800 for our holiday budget. We had things written on the board. There were seven important things that were written on the board and Jayden said if we lost our clothes or anything that was important to get back you would have to buy insurance. Insurance means when you lose something the money that you are getting sponsored with you could get back the things that was lost. The main point to win the game is to get more entertainment points and to make sure that you don't have a lot of money. The last thing that we played was not to get the number one or six. As team one rolled the dice we had gotten a six so we had to pay six hundred dollars but we didn't have enough money so we got disqualified. Luckily the other teams still gave us an applause. Lastly when Jayden was adding up all the entertainment points team four had won the game. Thank you ASB for giving your time to spend a day with us.

Lighthouse - For Sale

Today we were creating a poster about Lighthouses for sale. I chose to find a lighthouse in Britain. It costs $150.00 for this lighthouse. The lighthouse is called Point Lynas Lighthouse. I thought that this lighthouse was great for me because the rooms and the amazing view over the slim mountain. The rooms that I would want to sleep in is one of the master bedroom. I would want to sleep in the master bedroom because I could have the closet full of clothes and the bathroom to myself. $150.00 would be worth to sleep in because it is a holiday house.

Pacific dance - Matariki Festival

Today at our school, Panmure Bridge school. The matariki celebration was awesome because the amazing performances the students done. The first that shared there performance was the Maori group. They did well because the loud noises they presented. The next performance was the drummers and they really did awesome because they put out the audience with there stunning beats. The next group was the junior kapa haka and they made the students in their classes really happy. The next group was the ukulele group and they were amazing as well because the song they were singing to and playing the ukulele. The last group of the day was the Cook Island group. I think that I performed well because I didn't practice for that long but we still performed well.   

Thank you Whaea Odie. 

Matariki presentation

                                

This week we did a poster with some of the LS1 students. We worked collaboratively to actually complete this task. The poster that we were creating was about Matariki. As we were researching through google we found out some interesting facts. Did you know that Matariki is the mother of her six daughters? These information came from our smart searching skills. We actually talked about what work we wanted to do. I chose to research some of the questions so that my group could understand the celebration of Matariki.

M&M Presentation

Today we did a DLO about M&M's. I think as a group that I worked collaboratively with were amazing because we all communicated really well preventing the work to finish. I knew that we were going to finish the M&M presentation because we focused on one task. A interesting fact that we found out was according to the Mars company they originally put the M&M's in different orders and all of the colors or chocolate aren't the same. In 1941 they created M&M's.
