2017 Production - Dancing Through The Decades

To celebrate the 60th birthday for Panmure Bridge School did a production. Each class had a decade that they had to dance from. In LS2 we have the 70's and 80's and our songs are I See Red, Staying Alive and Footloose. I was shocked when I found out that we had to dance to these old classics but at the same time I was excited. Before our dance we had 2 junior classrooms and the Kapa Haka group do there item. I was really nervous before going on the stage, but after we finished our dance I wasn't that nervous.

Kiwi Can

This morning LS2 had Kiwi Can. During Kiwi Can we played three games which was Hand Soccer, 10 down and Objects. In Hand Soccer we were first split into two groups. We each given numbers from 1 to 13. Mr Malu had to call out two numbers and those two numbers had to try and get a goal between the two cones with their hands. It was a very challenging games because we had to use our hand to get the goal. My favorite game was Objects because it was a very creative game. In this game we were split into four teams. Mr Malu and Mrs Latoya had to put an object in the middle and each group had to figure out anything to do with that object for example one of the objects was a hula hoop. What my group did with it was pretending it was a basketball hoop. I think LS2 could play this game again.

Elections Kahoot

For the final task for election's everyone had to create a kahoot quiz with at least 10 question based on the elections. Jeremiah, San kyaw and I finished first so we to share ours to LS2. There were lot's of questions but the question which stand out, was how long was Helen Clark Prime Minister for. Learning about elections was really fun I enjoyed doing the challenges because it really tested me.

Blog Comment on Te Kemara's Blog

Today LS2 were doing quad blogging with Paihia School. I commented on Te Kemara's blog. 

Hokey Pokey Advertisment

This week LS2 has been focusing on advertisements. Our task was to create a poster pointing out the things they include to make us want to buy their product. For example, ice cream brands like Tip Top make their product look bigger. For Tip Top they make the it look like there is lots of ice cream.

Adidas Fun Run

On Thursday Panmure Bridge School had Cross Country at Dunkirk. First the junior's had there race's and they did 2 laps. Then it was time for the seniors to race. First Room 5 had there race, everyone tried really hard. Then it time for LS1 to race they also did pretty good, all of them tried there hardest and never stopped until the finish line. Finally it was our turn, everyone was really hyped and could not wait. Our class had to do five laps. At the start lane my heart was betting faster than ever before. We were all getting ready for the horn. When Mr Johnston honked the horn everyone sprinted. I was coming first until I got tired. I knew that if I keep on sprinting I will lose my energy faster. So I had to use it wisely by jogging, and that really helped me save my energy. After doing four laps I was on to my last one, and I was exhausted. But I never gave up, I kept on running until I finished. After all that I came fourth place. I think I did really well but could not make it to 1st, 2nd or 3rd.  Maybe Next time I can make. 

Princess Bride - Character Introduction

In the past few weeks LS2 were doing a media study on a movie called The Princes Bride. We learnt the type of shots of the character introductions. During the movie there was protagonist (goodie) and the antagonist (baddie).We also learnt what the characters role is in the movie and the type of clothing they are wearing. Buttercup was wearing white dress which means she is a protagonist. The DLO above shows you what I learnt about the characters in the movie.

Learning about Coalition

This morning we were learning what a Coalition and how NZ First Coalition will affect the election. A Coalition is when Political parties join forces to help choose a new Prime Minister. E.g: If Winston Peters joins Labour party they will win and if he joins National party they will win. To day I learnt what a Coalition is.  

Scale Drawing

For the past few weeks Learning Space 2 have been doing Scale Drawing art. We first had to choose an image that we were going to draw. I chose to do Batman. Next we had to make a grid on top of the picture. I found drawing the grids the hardest because I am not really good at drawing straight lines. After that we made an enlargement of our Scale Drawing. This was also hard because I could not draw the belt. When I finished my enlargement I had to color it in. Finally we had to make a name plate and choose a background color. I think my Scale Drawing turned out to be really cool, don't you think. I had so much fun doing this and can't wait to find out what we are doing next. 

Democracy

This blog post is about Democracy. Did you know that Democracy is is originated from Greece and the word demo is the word demos in Greek and that Demos mean village. The word Cracy is the word Kratia in Greek and that means Rules, Power and Might.

Prime Minister

This is a DLO I made about a prime minister named David Lange and he was the 32nd prime minister of New Zealand. He also helped to make New Zealand a nuclear free country and he died in 2005. I made this DLO with the help of Daniel, Shannon, Oh Hsen, AJ, Eric and CJ.

This is a jigsaw I made about the political parties I made this jigsaw with the help of Eric, Aj, Cj, Daniel, Oh Hsen and Shannon. When I was learning about the parties I found out a lot about how the election takes place and to me it's really interesting yet very confusing.

Read An E Book Day.

Today on the 18th September was Read An E Book Day. Using the Tamaki College overdrive we are able to read E books. The book I was reading was called Shadow Hunters: City Of Ashes. In Manhattan, Jace, Alec, and Isabelle are fighting off demons. They return home, to the Institute, and find out that their mother, Maryse, has returned from Alicante. She's mad at Jace, and she didn't even bring them any presents. Maryse tells Jace that she believes he's been working for Valentine this whole time. (Valentine is the Evil Guy)She wants him to swear that he hasn't, and that he hates his father. Jace won't do it. Since his family's trust in him is broken, he runs away. He ends up in a dive bar with a bone to pick with a bunch of angry werewolves. While all this is going on, Clary and Simon are playing house at Simon's house, even though whenever Simon kisses Clary, she's thinking of Jace. Her lukewarm make out session is interrupted when Luke calls. He has Jace in his office (Luke seems to be the head of the werewolf pack Jace is scrapping with), and he thinks Clary can talk some sense into him. She heads to the bar, and once Jace is calmed down, he returns to the Institute. Bad idea. Maryse has called the Inquisitor, who plans on using her handy dandy Soul-Sword to see if Jace is telling the truth. Until this trial by blade, she's going to lock Jace up in prison at the bottom of the Silent City. Good thing he isn't afraid of the dark. If you want to see what other turn of events happen in this book you can find this book in the Tamaki overdrive library which is home to many books and you are sure to find what you are looking for.

Say It Tika

Since this week is Maori Language week we were set a task to drop a pin on any place name in Maori that google maps says wrong. I chose Pararekau Rd because I thought they could say the name properly. I thought this task was good because it was different from some of the other tasks we have done for other language weeks. Check out sayittika to find a place name that sounds wrong for yourself.

Tamaki College Overdrive: E books and Audio Books

Today we were introduced to something new. Using the Tamaki Overdrive we could read e books and there is also audio books if we wanted to listen to any books. The book I was reading was Shadow Hunters: City Of Ashes. I found this books interesting because it has lot's mystery and challenges that they have to face. I think the Tamaki College Overdrive is really useful because you can go on it when ever you want.

Taking Risks - Kiwi Can

To for Kiwi Can we were learning about taking risks. Our warm up game that we started with was called bip, bop, bounce. The main objective was to not get out (Obviously). We had to say bang before the person in the middle says "bip, bop, bounce and if you didn't you would be out. After our warm up we split up into groups and played a game called Hand Soccer. In this game we were only allowed to use our hands and score. We were also not allowed to pick the ball up, it had to be touch the ground at all times. Every person in each team had to touch the ball before scoring. Our team played really good, everyone was participating. But we couldn't score a few more goals, so the other team won. In my opinion I think the player of the game was Freeman because he was always taking risks and was a great team player. 

2 Word Sentence

For writing we have been looking at simple, compound and complex sentences. We learnt that simple sentences are mainly two words, which contain a subject and a verb. We had to write down three examples of a simple compound and complex sentence.

Read Theory

Today for Read Theory I read a text on how teddy bears were created. The quiz level was on grade 8 so it was a bit hard. I got only 4 questions right out of 6. The reason we do read theory is because that it helps us with our reading, grows our knowledge, how to comprehend, and improves our vocabulary.

Tech New Rotation: Food Tech

Today we had a new Tech rotation. We went to food tech. Our new teacher was Mrs Heka. For our this lesson we made an Oreo milkshake. First we needed to get into groups of 2 or 3. We had to listen and make sure we got all the steps right. Josh S and I had to choose our roles and what we were going to do. I had to crush the Oreos, get the ice cream and wash the dishes. Josh's jobs were to measure the milk and chocolate syrup, and dry the dishes. 

Steps for making the Oreo milkshake:


1 - One packet of Oreos and crush in a bowl.
2 - 2 table spoons of the chocolate syrup. 
3 - 2 cups of milk.
3 - 1 full cup of ice cream.
4 - Mix all the ingredients in a blender. 
5 - Pour it into a cup, then put whip cream and hundreds and thousands on top.

There you go and that's how to make Oreo milkshake. After making our milkshake we had to clean up. I washed the dishes and Josh dried them. Once that was done we sat down and drank them. In my opinion I thought it was really yum and I can't wait to make pies next week.
