My Scale drawing

Last week we were focusing on scale drawings. We were also focusing on maths week. The ratio between the scale drawings were 1:2 cm. It means by doubling the the amount of boxes from the top and the bottom. My ratio from the top to the bottom was 22:32. The scale factor was 2. At first I didn't know what scale drawing was until we were given a sheet of example to copy and paste. The most favorite part about my scale drawing enlargement was coloring in the scale drawing. What I found hard about this scale drawing was copying and pasting the monster to a bigger sheet. 

Food tech

Today for tech we were making...

Step 1 - Sausage kebabs
Step 2 - Put the skewer into a bowl of cold water
Step 3 - Slice the sausages
Step 4 - slice the pepper
Step 5 - Slice the onions
Step 6 - Combine all mixtures on the skewer
Step 7 - bake for 10 minutes
Step 8 enjoy and eat

At tech I knew it was easy to make sausage kebabs because the ingredients were easy and simple. Firstly we were instructed that two vegetables are promoted and are suppose to be eating two vegetables daily with your breakfast, Lunch or dinner.

HIIT Training

Today for HIIT training we were focusing on Push ups and star jumps. We did 12 sets of these exercises. The hardest thing that I found difficult about the exercise was the push ups. I found this task difficult to do because it's hard to get back up and repeat it. Throughout the term we had some achievements to reach and we accomplished it.

HIIT Training

Today for week 3 term 3 we were focusing on our exercises. The exercises we focused on were High knee sprint, tap steps, mountain climbers, and star jumps. I think that we all put a lot of effort to complete this exercise. I would like to thank Tiava, Zane, and Mataio. They were leading everyone to the exercise that they were suppose to do. Thank you Mrs Anderson for cheer leading the group to make sure that they were being on task.

Food Tech

Today for term 3 week 2 we were making butter chicken. The instructions were...

Step 1 - Dice the chicken

Step 2 - Fry the chicken until it's turns brown

Step 3 - Scoop out the chicken into a bowl

Step 4 - Fry the onion until brown

Step 5 - Add the cream

Step 6 - Add the chicken

Step 7 - Put some spices in it

Step 8 - Serve with rice

Step 9 Enjoy and eat

As we cooked butter chicken we noticed that our chicken were still raw. 

HIIT Training

Today for term 3 week 2 we were practicing on our training. For HIIT training we did Mountain climbers, Split squat karate kick, high knee sprints, and star jumps. Most of these exercisers were difficult to do because it got tiring every minute we did it. Part of this training was to do our best and to make sure that we get the technique right. I liked the star jumps better because all you had to do was to lift your arms in the air and spread your legs apart from each other. I found this training exercise really hard to actually do.

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. 

Pros and Cons presentation

Today we were creating a DLO about a lighthouse. We worked collaboratively by creating this DLO. We have created a list of words that are positive and negative.

Step 10 - Pour the mince in the pastry
Step 11 - Place the cheese on the mince
Step 12 put it in the oven for 20 minutes
Step 13 - Enjoy and have fun

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. 

Food Tech

Today for tech we made rock cakes. The instructions were...

Step one - 1 and 1/2 of Self Raising Flour

Step two - 1/2 of a cup of Sugar

Step three - 1/2 of a Cup of Cream

Step four - 1/4 of cup of Oil

Step five - chocolate chips

Step six - Add one egg

Step seven - Mix well

Step eight - One scoop on the flat tray

Step nine - Put the oven to 150 degrees for 15 minutes

Step ten - Enjoy your cooking 

Tiritiri Matangi - Light houses

This week we are focusing on light houses in New Zealand. Our group leader decided to choose Tiritiri Matangi. I think that our group works really well together because we can communicate about things and what we should do to help out with the work. We found an interesting fact about our light house, the light house was made out of cast iron and cast iron is made for making frying pans. We did as much as work as we could to finish this task. There are twenty three light houses in New Zealand and seventy six lights, that's a fact.

Calligrams

Today for week 9, term 2 we were learning about calligrams. As I was researching I found out that the words have to relate to the image that you are finding out. The words that we chose to do was ice, tennis ball and music. I think that this activity was fun to do because making words out of images are great. 

M&M's

Today we did a DLO about M&M's. The thing why we did this activity was to find out why the company invented M&M's. I think as a group that I worked with was great because we worked collaboratively and worked hard to finish this DLO. I knew that we were going to finish it because we were all focused on one thing and listened to the instruction that we had to do. 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. 

Tech Reflection

Today at tech we were baking chocolate muffins. As we were following the instructions we placed our mixture of ingredients on the cooking bench. The smell of the chocolate muffins was delicious. We put the timer to 15 minutes. When the timer beeped that meant that the muffins were cooked. The muffins were nice and brown. The muffins were perfect because they weren't burnt. My partner and I worked collaboratively because I worked on putting the ingredients together and mixing them. My partner worked on putting the chocolate in the muffin tray and putting the oven temperature to 150 degrees. Food tech is great to go to and fun with Ms Tuipulotu. If I was to bake muffins again I wouldn't change a thing because I cooked it just right.

Passengers Seats

Today for Maths we were solving question about Passengers Seats. This learning was a bit easy because we worked collaboratively. To find the answer we needed to know who is sitting on the window side. For this activity I worked with my partners Miki and Carl. 

HIIT

This week for HIIT training we are learning how to do a push up, pull up and a squat. We were put into groups to do this exercise. We were put into groups of six. Our partners were the encourages to keep us going. We had a limited time to do this exercise and to keep rotating every time. The main thing why we were doing this exercise was to see how strong we are to do things. There were three sets to do this exercise. As it came to a point where it nearly finished we kept trying our hardest to do more and more. 

Kiwi Sport reflection

Today at kiwi sport our instructor Haymish put us into groups of seven. There were three groups. The first game that we played was kind of like bull rush but ripping off the tags. The highest points that we got up to was three points. We all challenged each other to see who would win at the game. The second game that we played was ripparugby. We were all in colored groups. The first group that we played against was blue team. We won the first game because we knew where to pass it to and who to give to. We all had fun because we participated in the kiwi sport. What I learnt from Kiwi sport was teamwork and communicating. We learnt how to share the ball and the skills that we do.

Tech Reflection

Today at food tech we were baking Quiches. The recipe was simple to do because it was already written on the board. My partner and I worked really well today because we were communicating with each other sorting the things that we should do. The things that I did was dicing the ham into small little cubes to put on the pastry. The second thing that we did was to place the cheese on top of the ham. The third thing that I done was pouring a half cup of milk into the silver measuring bowl and adding four eggs. After whisking the eggs and the milk we poured it into a measuring jug to pour it on the pastry. The cheese was added on the pastry so the texture and mixture can combine. When the pastry is finished getting poured with the milk and egg we had to top up some of the quiches. We put the oven on for 250 degrees and cook it for ten minutes. When the quiches were done baking in the oven the smell of the quiches were amazing. As we tasted the quiches we were proud of what we did because we put a lot of effort in this cooking. I really like cooking with Ms Tuipulotu and attending to her tech.

Kiwi Can Reflection

This term our topic for Kiwi Can is Integrity and our theme is Accountability. Integrity means to be honest for doing something when no one is looking. Accountability means to be responsible for the actions you do. It also means to  take ownership for the things that you have done wrong. Our energizer was to get as many cards as possible before the other team takes it. Our activity was to make two truths about what you actually did and one lie that you didn't do. It was a hard game to play because most of the questions looked like they were the truth.  Before we finished Kiwi Can we went straight into the general knowledge questions. Kiwi Can learns more and more new things that Panmure Bridge school shows and what they have learnt to achieve this goal. It was great to attend at Kiwi Can. 

HIIT Training

This term we are focusing on doing a fitness class. The students that got chosen last term were focusing on how to do a split squat. Through out the week we were learning how do split squat pulse, split squat, star jumps, and star planks. Last fitness class we were looking at squats, and squat jump. It is difficult to do a split squat pulse and jump because the muscles you pull. I couldn't keep up with the fitness because I wasted a lot of energy pushing and pushing. I tried my best every time we attended at HIIT training. 

Fractions

This game was great because the fractions were kind of easy on level 1. I found this game awesome because I can learn my fractions easier. This game made me think more about fractions and now I know the hard fractions. I reached up to level 8. Level 8 was kind of hard because the numbers were difficult to answer.

Number knowledge

Today for maths we were learning how to divide numbers. It was difficult because there were to many fractions to solve. Fractions are kind of hard for me but the hardest thing that I'm not use too is my twelve times table. Today I chose to work collaboratively by myself because I want to see if I am good. I thought that I need to work with my partner so we both can work it together.   

Fraction of an Amount

Today this problem solving DLO shows the fractions that I have learnt. The Learning intention was to find fractions of an amount in word problems. This question that I have been working on was kind of difficult because I didn't know if you had to subtract the numbers or add the numbers. I worked by myself because the teachers want to know how I would find the answer to this fraction solving and if I know my fractions by dividing them. This wasn't the only question that was difficult because I got some of the questions incorrect.

Student Led Conference Script

At student led conference interview my mum (Karen) was looking at my learning. She was proud because how the work that I have done. She was amazed about the work I have been presenting and the amazing feedback my teachers have commented about me. I knew that she would be proud of me because the math I like to be challenged my hard thinking. I showed her that the script that I have done.

Kiwi Sport Reflection

At Kiwi Sport our instructor Haymish showed us what is a step spin. Haymish put us into numbers and groups. The girls in my group didn't know how to do the step spin so Haymish showed them how to do it. We played a game against the other groups and we won the first game. As we played the second game we won it again. The team that we played with first round had zero points and we scored over ten points. The second game that we played with had three points and we had five points. It was a tough game between the other teams. The main point of the game is communicating and teamwork. My team were great at doing all that. The thing I like about Kiwi Sport is the fun games that we play and how I learn new abilities to play rippa rugby.  

Assembly Presenting

Today I presented at our school Assembly. When I presented at the assembly I felt nervous and felt I was going muddle the words. When I stood in front of the podium I was confident to present but as I looked up there was a huge audience looking at me. I then felt nervous again. As the leaders presented I knew that I could present well too. As the school leaders finished presenting, our principal spoke to us and gave out certificates to the people who deserved them. When we stood in silence to sing the national anthem I knew that everything was done. I was proud of myself because I actually spoke in front of a huge audience presenting in front of them.   

Kiwi Can Reflection

Our topic for Kiwi Can was integrity and the theme for it is called role models. At Kiwi Can our first thing that we played was called don't let the ball go into your legs. The game was challenging because we played with two balls and we didn't know who's leg it would go into. There were a lot of people that had won the first energizer. As we played the second time the circle had got smaller and smaller until I lost. Ms Lily and Mr Matt put us into groups of six to play a game but to play this game you would have to just do the actions and no talking. Ms Lily were giving us characters to act like and the players are the only people that answer. The main point to win the game is to answer fast and guess the fastest. As we moved on to the third activity the instructions were to freeze and if you are the slowest you are out. The game was called statue. The game was all about role models and how they act or what they do for a living. It was a fun game to play. Kiwi Can is fun to go to because we play the fun activities.

Cooking tech

Today at tech we are baking muffins. The recipe wasn't simple because there were too many steps to follow but we still participated. The thing I like going to tech is learning new things and creating new things. I like cooking with Ms Tuipulotu because she is funny and she teaches us to cook and what to do if we do something wrong. Baking muffins is kind of hard because you have to make sure that it wasn't burnt. That was probably the hardest because you have to keep an eye on it to make sure that it isn't hard or soft.

Cinema Attending Argument - Math

For this week I have created my second activity for the week. For this learning we were learning how to make an argument, "Why young people are likely to go to the cinema." This DLO shows how younger people are more likely to go to the cinema more than older aged people. As people go into the age of an adult they don't want to go to the cinema because they would rather stay home and be a normal person. They would rest at home or they'd be busy.  

Amount of the children

Today for math we were learning how to work out how many children in the classroom. The problem was to use fractions. We had to find out what age they were in and calculate it all together to find out the students in the classroom. It was difficult to actually find the answer but we still figured it out. The question had confused me because how many students that were over eight years old. Instead we showed you in steps to find the answer and how we worked it out together. The last question shows how many children that we found for our answer.

Skeletal System Game

Today for inquiry we started our fist session of our new rotation. This inquiry topic is about the human body systems. We played a game about the skeletal system which is the bones that help support our body and protect our organs. There were 2 modes. The first one was about reassembling the bones in our body and putting them in the correct place. The second one was about labeling all the different bones in the human body. This is the image of the score I got from this game. 

6 Ballad Hats

San Kyaw, Affonso and I used our smart searching skills to find the types of jobs that women and men in New Zealand this in the 1870's. We noticed that the jobs people did back then were a lot more physical than many of the jobs we do today because they didn't have the technology we do to help them.

Tech Reflection

Today at tech we were going to bake pancakes. The instructions were already written on the board. The ingredients were simple because all the equipment were pretty much set up for us to be prepared. The thing that was difficult about cooking was to make sure that the mixture of ingredients aren't t soft or hard it's suppose to be just right so it can make round. We all had a go at trying our best to make round circles but it turned out to be wobbly. What I found really difficult was  that my mixture was to watery and the thing why it turned out wrong is because I was whisking it to long. What I found tasteful was the Hershey's syrup on the pancake. It was great at tech with Ms Tupulatu.  

Math Rich Task

For math we were learning how to handle data. The learning intention was to borrow from using subtracting. I mostly did the work because I found the work interesting. The best thing I like about myself is that if I find the the work interesting I will let the pen write and let my head think. Mostly I should think about work everyday thinking about math and the tasks that our teacher instructs.

Reflex Experiment

Reflex Experiment

Hypothesis

Sanujan - I think that I would be best at test 1 because my eyes send messages
to my brain fast.

John - I think that I could be good at test 2 because I think that I am great at
listening.

(Test 1)

	Sanujan	John
1	24.5	16.5
2	11.8	24.1
3	0	29.7
Total	66.3	60.7

(Test 2)

	Sanujan	John
1	12.6	11.4
2	12.8	0
3	27.8	15.8
Total	53.2	57.2

	Sanujan	John
1	10.4	13.7
2	18.6	11.9
3	13.6	21.4
Total	42.6	47

Evaluation:

Sanujan : My hypothesis was incorrect because according to the graph I was great at
tactile which is test 1 I was surprised that my connection from my eyes to my brain is not
as fast as through touch.

John -  My hypothesis was wrong because I expected that I had really great ears but I actually don’t. The graph had surprised me when I was excellent on test 3 because my ears sent messages to my brain faster than my eyes open.  What I found surprising was that my partner had faster reflexes than me.

This week for inquiry, we learnt about human reactions. We had a small challenge

that included simply a ruler, a partner, and our reactions. Our task was to attempt

to grab a ruler as fast as possible. We were given 3 different reactions to test.

Visual, where we had to grab the ruler just by watching it. No count down, go or

anything. Nextwas aural, where we had to close our eyes, and where only told "GO"

for when we could attempt to grab the ruler. No countdown, no looking, no

touching, just a simple go. Finally, was touch. We closed our eyes, no words,

just a tap on the shoulder letting us know when to grab. The partner that I was

given was Tiava, and we had a lot of fun working together. What we needed to do

next was graph our data. Although to make it even better, we were to group up

with another pair and graph all of our data in one big graph. So for this, we chose

to work with Jack and Tiava. We had a lot of fun all working together, and in the end, made a pretty great graph.
