Blackout day-All blacks

Today everyone at school was dressed in their team colours most people dressed in black representing the All blacks team whilst a few others were wearing red for the lions. The school had two assemblies, one for a normal school day and another to wish the All Blacks the very best of luck, well...of course the lions too. We all sang tutira mai nga iwi which is the Lions tour song at the moment. Then the kapa haka group which includes me did the All Blacks haka '"Ka mate". During lunch time Mr Ovilgie  spray painted the letters "All blacks" on the grass on the field, we all were given numbers before our second assembly and when it was finished we all stood on a letter which contained the number 1 to 9.
A few moments later when that was done Everybody stood in a big circle surrounding the courts and we all passed a ball around back to the person who started with it. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS.

Table chart-Rubbish response

This is a table chart showing PBS responses to dropping rubbish. It is shocking for me and harlem to see many people dropping rubbish including us. 69.2% out of 100% of pupils in PBS have dropped rubbish accidentally or on purpose. 30% out of 100% of pupils in PBS have taken responsibility for their actions and they sensibly put their rubbish in the bin knowing that dropping rubbish can have a negative effect on tomorrow. Our teachers Mrs Anderson and Mrs kirkpatrick have made a spreadsheet that shows our schools responses to dropping rubbish and the school is deciding what we can do to decrease the amount of rubbish dropped.

Dance-Keeping in time

Today for dance we were recording our dance to self evaluate and fix the things we were doing wrong. We learnt some pretty cool-new tricks and we also learnt to dance in time with the music which took a lot of practice.

Dance

Today for dance we filmed our dances so we can look over what we are doing wrong that we need to fix.I was working with Fatongia. We made a lot of new moves today and learnt how to make shapes using different methods. We were grouped up with Oh hsen and Dallas so we can film each others dance.

Inquiry

Today for inquiry we had a provocation that we needed to explore. I was working with Mathias, 
Oh Hsen and Eric. As a team we had to come up with our own opinions and chose which one was the best but we couldn't speak. Our provocation was about the rubbish in our school and how we can resolve the problem of rubbish. Our whole group came up with this opinion: We can put out more bins because people might be lazy to walk to the bin.

Maths Problems

Today for maths I had to choose a question to answer out of the list I chose the first one which you can see at the bottom of the image.To solve these questions I used my subtraction to find out the answer.This activity was very easy and challenging at times.

Chunky challenge-Mathias

                                            This is the activity I have been doing for reading this term.We had to find a bunch of words that begin,contain and end with the letters "est" this is a very simple activity for me and it was especially easy.

Reduce,Reuse,Recycle-Mathias

World of maths- Mathias

Yesterday World of Maths came to Panmure Bridge to spend the afternoon with us, LS1 and LS2 went to the school hall and the teachers put us into groups. We all chose an activity to start with. One of my favorite was the shadow rule. This was my favorite because it was challenging but easy in many different ways. The maths I have used to find the answer was addition and times tables it was very easy to use but the answer got harder because we had to use our measurements as well as multiplication.

Similes #2-Mathias

This is my google drawing of the simile I have chosen to illustrate, which is as good as gold. On the right are some more similes from our previous activity.I have chosen a picture of an emoji with the thumbs up as an example of good, and the gold which helps me finish the sentence ''as good as gold''.

Food Tech-Mathias

Today for tech we made a chocolate hedgehog made out of chocolate,cocoa,coconut,and peanuts. The chocolate hedgehog cake was very delicious and i am willing for more.

Taekwondo-Mathias

Today LS2 had a Taekwondo lesson with Steve our Taekwondo teacher.He taught us how to high kick and punch really hard also he told me to hit his stomach as hard as I could as a challenge and he stood there like he didn't even feel it.It was very challenging because we did approximately 30 push ups!! But this is exactly why when you do Taekwondo you need to focus and concentrate as much as you can.

Dance Lessons-Mathias

                                                             Today LS2 started doing dance lessons with Mrs Anderson,we first had to watch a clip of warm up routines and we had to follow through, after that we had to watch our own videos and draw figures of different exercises we can practice. We then had to search a song to exercise to.Me and my partners Fatongia and Jaydon were given a message to work together and exercise on the right pace because we weren't doing these things.

Similes-Mathias

This is my google drawing of the simile iv'e chosen "It's as slow as a snail" I have an image of a old Man who distinctively walks slow as an example of a Slow Snail. This is the link to more similes.  > Click Here

Food Tech W1 T2- Mathias

Today for tech we made chocolate truffles, which are small balls of coconut, cocoa and chocolate topping mashed together creating a chocolate truffle, the rules to making chocolate truffles were very simple and i really enjoyed making them.

Current events-Mathias

Today we researched about the Chinese people who will not be selling elephant tusks also known as ivory by the end of 2017. When i first found out about this event i thought it was very sickening,they shouldn't have been killing elephants for their tusks in the first place. My opinion would be NO to selling elephant tusks because it is illegal and it is hurting the mammal species, maybe soon if this keeps on progressing their would be no fascinating elephants and rhinos lef5t on earth.

Te Taiao O Tamaki Performance

Today Panmure Bridge School and other schools from the Manaiakalani cluster went on a trip to Te Oro to present a play about keeping local waterways clean. After the play we all walked out to explore all the different activities the schools have been learning about.

My Recount on Archery

During camp we were given the superb activities of high ropes, archery, chariot building and orienteering. My most enjoyable activity was archery.

We all stumbled up a very rocky hill to a private area where we all participated in archery. Before we all started shooting arrows we were given the safety instructions.

Everyone grabbed their bows and placed their arrows under the knot on the arrow holder. My arrow shot straight for the bullseye but sadly it wobbled into the mud.

I was relieved I actually shot it but to get better I tried again and again.    

In the end I was able to hit the target most times.

Now with an adverb.: The dog barked cautiously ... See how interesting that sounds . We need to use more adverbs to hook in a reader so we can end up being a illustrator. I hope you've learnt something about adverbs to make you better at writing.
