PBS 2016 Collage

This Collage represents our learning journy in 2016. It is a reflection of some of the things I enjoyed doing. This year we had lots of opportunities to work together collaboratively which I really liked. We worked hard but also had a fun year.

Rocket Follow up DLO

On Friday we went to Tamaki College to learn how to make  Rockets  with Mr Dunn.  We began by watching a video on how to make a straw rocket, then we used two straws and paper fins to make our own. We had a challenge to see whose rocket could go the longest distance. After that we went on to make a 3D rocket out of cardboard, then we launched our rocket.

Leadership Challenge

On Monday our Leadership challenge involved working togther in teams. This above DLO explains how we used cups and rubber bands to compelete this challenge collaboratively. 

Maths Games

This morning I played a game called Race for the Rocket with Mrs Linda. The game is to help me understand more than and less than. Cards are placed face down and we have to pick a card, then move up or down the rocket. If the cards says 2 more we need to move up the rocket 2 spaces, if it says 1 less, we need to move down the rocket 1 space. The first person to reach the top is the winner. I beat Mrs Linda twice. It was so very fun playing the game with her. 

Maths

For maths I played the odd and even game so I can improve with my maths. To play this game you need to know your odd and even number. When a number pops up on the orange board you need to click if it is a even number or a odd number. I learnt a lot from playing this game.

The Rescue by Ma'ata.

The man fell off the boat and is in the water. The waves were big and he felt scared because he didn’t know how to swim. The helicopter went to help the man. The man felt happy to see the helicopter because he knew he was going to be rescued. The people on the helicopter know how to help people.  

Today Mrs Anderson worked with me. We wrote a story together about the man being rescued.

Team Paper Plane

Today for Maths we had to make our team paper planes. Then we flew the Paper Planes in the classroom to see who's plane went the furthest. We sat on the mat while the person in our team flew the plane three times, then they had to measure the distance that they flew. Then they flew the plane one more time, I think we did well. I enjoyed doing this because it was fun.

Writing quiz

 Today for writing we had to do a quiz about recounts, I My score was 7 our of 10. I think I done well because I got most of them write. I enjoyed doing this quiz because it was challenging.

Reading with Mrs Anderson

Today I read Mrs Anderson a book called 'A Job for Clown'. After each page I had to pick a question card off the table and Mrs A asked me a question about the page I had just read. I kept tricking her and choosing the 'who' question. When I finished the story I asked Mrs Anderson questions about the book to check that she had listened carefully.

Odd and Even numbers

Today I worked on finding Odd and Even numbers. I played a game where I had to find all the ladybugs with odd numbers and all the ladybugs with even numbers. I worked out the answers by counting the spots and if the ladybug had the same amount of spots on each side I knew it was an even number. The ladybugs with different amount of spots on each side were odd numbers.All the odd numbers went to the red leaf and all the even numbers went to the blue leaf. I enjoyed playing the game with Mrs Linda.

rhythm interactive

Today we had 2 visitors visit our school to run a program called 'Rhythm interactive.' They showed us some interesting rhythms and we followed him. While we were playing the drums, we were learning some lyrics to go with the drumming. I really enjoyed the lessons.  

Water in School

We have been noticing everyone has been forgetting to bring water to school. We had to research the importance of staying hydrated. We have also been researching the effects of when you are dehydrated. We also been learning the benefit's of drinking water instead of sugary drinks. 

Godwit/Kuaka Popplet

This term our inquiry focus was on the Bartailed Godwit but in Maori it is known as the Kuaka. The Yr7's have created a popplet together that tells informations about the appearance, habitat, Migration diet and what effects Godwit/Kuaka in different ways. We also added in some images and videos to give a clear picture of the special bird.  Did you know that they have a 8-9 day non stop flight, this adds up to one whole week and one day which is a short period of time considering they are flying long distance.   We look toward to learn more about the unique birds.

Maths

This morning for maths I worked with Mrs Linda. We were working on addition. We used flash cards and counters to get the answers.  I had to write the equation on the whiteboard, then workout the answer.  Mrs Linda was choosing hard flash cards because I'm getting faster at addition. 

A new bed

Today I did a S-Chart of a book called A New Bed. The story tells you about Mrs Mack And Mr Mack, Mr Mack says they need a new bed. Mr Mack thinks they should take the bed to the dump. Mrs Mack puts the bed on the truck and takes it down to the road by the Junk Shop. Mrs Mack took the bed to the bed to the junk shop, so the man in in the junk shop gives money back to Mrs Mack. After when she goes home she says to Mr Mack "We need a bed". Mrs Mack and Mr Mack go to the junk shop and they see the bed Mr Mack goes to sit down and says "This is perfect to sleep on", so they took the bed home.

Run jump throw

Today we were taught some basic skills which were to look straight a head instead of looking at the person who says go, use light feet, run in a straight line, stand straight, bend your arms and cheek to cheek which is then you move your arms from the side of your face to the side of your leg. We learnt that for sprints the starter says on your mark, set, go and on long distance the starter says on your mark, go. the way to get ready for sprints you need to stand back one meter from the line, when the starter says on your mark you move one leg forward and squish the bug, which means to wriggle your foot so it comes up to the line, not passing it but just behind it, when the starter says set, you bend your knees and lift your back heel up off the ground, and wait for them to say go.
