Careers | Tertiary Lecturer

LI: to explore a career that interests me. 

I took the career quest quiz to help me find a career that interests me. At the end the three options I chose were a Tertiary Lecturer, Actor, and Chef. This DLO shows the career I chose and the requirements that applies. A tertiary lecturer is a teacher that teaches at universities on advanced levels. To become a tertiary lecturer I need to complete my Masters Degree or have a high leveled understanding on the topic I am teaching. 

Long Division | Maths

LI: to find the answer to the questions by using long division. 

This week for maths we worked collaboratively to complete a DLO showing our strategy and equation using long division. I worked with Ong to complete this task. Using one of our questions from our maths books we solved the question. On the DLO above it shows our strategy and thinking of how we solved the question with long division. There were 6 basic steps we used to help us use long division more efficiently. I found that working with Ong was really great. 

Periscope | Inquiry

LI: to explain how periscopes work. 

Mr Johnston came and taught us what periscopes ares, how they are used and who uses them. We found out that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. That means if the light hits the mirror at a 45° angle it reflects light back at a  45°. It was a fun session because we experimented with mirrors and tried to write our name by looking in the mirror. It was very exciting and fun. 

Facts about Light | Inquiry

LI: To share 5 facts about light that we find interesting.

We worked collarboratively to create a DLO showing facts about light. One fact that interests me is that white light is the only light the human eye can see and that its made up of the rainbow colors, ROYGBIV. I found this interesting because I never knew that white light was made by ROYGBIV. The people that worked in the group with me was Ong and Pouvi. 

Excellence and Innovation | Quotes

LI: To create a DLO that has 3 inspirational quotes that can inspire people.

Today I have completed another care award activity, this is my first excellence and innovation activity. To complete the activity Juel and I collaborated together. The 3 people we chose were Nelson Mandela, Malala Yousafzai and Will Smith. As extra information we added our thoughts and opinion on the DLO about the quote. 

Symphony Maths

Today I have completed another 15 minute symphony maths challenge. On my stage I am learning how to subtract 4 digit numbers. Doing this I am working with place value. On the questions it is a bit hard to understand as the numbers are shown in the cards but it gets easier as I get used to  reading it. I have almost finished stage 21. 

Steps Webs | Session #4

Today I have finished my #4 session of steps this week. For this session Mrs Anderson has set out another activity for us to do. For this activity we were learning/practising how to use suffixes. We had to click on the word that was used in a sentence and pronounce the words. The activity I was upto was called drop. 

Maths Challenge | Calendars

LI: to find the most efficient strategy to solve your problem. 

This week for maths we had to solve another question. In pairs we created a DLO showcasing our strategy and thinking, to complete this DLO Heavenly and I worked together. First Heavenly and I found the main information from the question. The question was asking "How much money would PBS have left", the main information was that each calendar = $12. 149 calendars sold, $6.90 went to the calendar making company. To solve the question we used written algorithmn and place value. 

Polynesian Panthers

LI: To create a DLO about the polynesian panthers. 

This week the Kakapo group read a story called "Rise up: THE STORY OF THE DAWN RAIDS AND THE POLYNESIAN PANTHERS". This story talked about the dawn raids and the polynesian panthers in the 1970s. The Polynesian Panthers  is a revolutionary movement party who stood up for the rights for polynesian people.  Polynesian people were sent to NZ from the islands to do factory work and get jobs. The immagrants (polynesian people) had permits of how long they stay in NZ. If they stayed in NZ too long they were called overstayers. In the DLO below, Giovanni and I created it to showcase how life was like in the 1970s as a polynesian and what the polynesian panthers did to change. 

Polynesian Panthers | Evaluating

LI: To read the information in the text, think about what you have read and form an opinion. 

This week the Kakapo reading group read another story, called "Rise up: THE STORY OF THE DAWN RAIDS AND THE POLYNESIAN PANTHERS". This story talked about an old New Zealand protest for the rights of the polynesian people. In this DLO we all formed an opinion about the dawn raids and the polynesian panthers. In the 1970s polynesian people were sent to NZ to do factory work. As the years came  by the recent Prime Minister Robert Muldoon sent officers to do random check ups to see if some polynesian people are overstayers. In the DLO it shows our opinion and thoughts on the dawn raids and the polynesian panthers. 

Blog Analysis | 2017-2020

LI: To analyse our blog post data to help us set blogging goals. 

This week I used statistical information to help me set goals for 2020. In the DLO its shows the amount of blog posts I have posted each year ever since 2017 til now (2020). As I have grown more confidence in my blogging level I have posted more and more blog posts each year. The goal I have created was to get 1000 blog posts at the end of the year. To do that I have to post 6.27 blogposts a week. I am positive that I will reach my goal. 

Enter a Competition | Attitude

In term one week 9 a group of students form Panmure Bridge School went to Colin Maiden Park to participate in the cricket interschools competition. I was apart of the girls yr 7-8 team. 

When we got there we started practising to get ready for the games, not too long after the horn blew and we started our games. 

The first team we played against was Stonefields 1. It was a tough game against them but we unfortunately lost.

The second team we played against was Tamaki Primary. We all tried our best but sadly Tamaki lost. 

The third team we played against was Stan Hope. Stan Hope girls were very good at batting, which led them to win.

The fourth team we played against was Stonefeilds 2. In this game our team did extremly well and a batting pair got 32 scores alone, which is exceedingly good. The majority of the balls rolled out of the boundries giving us 4 points each. We also got 2 boundries on the full which gave us 6 points each, which led us to win the round.

The final team we played against was Glenbrae. We did well, but Glenbrae ended up winning the round.

In the end our team ended up coming 3rd from our pool, at the of the day we all enjoyed ourselves and had a good time. 

I have completed another activity for my attitude badge. For this activity I had to represent PBS in a competition. The competition I chose was the Cricket Interschools. 

Food Technology | Mrs Heka | Salad

LI: To create a chicken salad. 

Today the Yr 7 students of Panmure Bridge School had their 3rd tech session of the term. For this tech session we created a chicken salad. Since it is a cold weather we created a warm salad. In our salad we included: 

Rice

Red Cabbage

Carrots

Onion

Curry Powder

Sweet Corn + Beans

Chicken Breasts 

Oil

Since there was 3 people in our kitchen we all had a task to do. I grated and peeled the carrot, diced the onions and cut the red cabbage. Juel measured our wet ingredients while heavenly cut the chicken breasts into slices of our choice (not too big). After we prepared our ingredients we added the ingredients together one by one. After adding the ingredients together our food was ready. 

Wahine Disaster

LI: To create a DLO showcasing the wahine disaster.

This week the Kakapo's have read a story called "Escape from the Wahine". This book is about a boy named Ryan who interviews his family members for a school project. He interviewed his Grandfather. His grandfather was one the many lucky people who survived the Wahine Disaster in 1964. Sakshi, Giovanni and I all worked collaboratively to create a DLO telling the story of the Wahine Disaster. 

 

Be a Duffy | Confidence

Last week I was a school duffy. I felt really confident and proud to be duffy. The book I chose to showcase was called " Danny the champion of the world". Danny is a 12 yr old boy who thinks his father is a marvellous person, but little does he know his father has a secret that he's hiding from danny. As danny becomes more and more suspicious he finally finds our the truth. 

I have completed one of my confidence activities. As I am duffy I showcase confidence to people and especially towards the younger junior students. The junior students really look up to the senior students so we have to show confidence and responsibilty to our learning. 

Lead a school Assembly | Confidence

LI: To lead a school assembly.

In week 6 of term 1, Ong and I lead our school assembly. We were both so nervous but we felt confident. Ong and I both practised our scripts over and over again so we could boost our confidence level. As we read our scripts out loud we thought in our heads, we can do this! Showing confidence while leading our school assembly meant the junior students could look up to us and be confident in what they do aswell. I was excited while I was reading the script as it was my first time reading something in front of the whole of Pamnure Bridge School. At the end of the day, I felt like I did a great job. 

Te Reo Maori Challenge | Kowhaiwhai Patterns

LI: To design a kowhaiwhai pattern for our PBS Te Reo Blog.

A kowhaiwhai pattern is a traditional pattern from the maori culture. Kowhaiwhai patterns represent stories or tales from the past. 

The meaning of my kowhaiwhai pattern is showing how you can succeed and move forward in the future. The red and white colors reflect the positive and negative things in life.

Symphony Maths

Today I have completed another 15 minute symphony maths challenge. On my stage I am learning how to add 3 digit numbers together. Doing this I am working with place value. On the questions it is a bit hard to understand as the numbers are shown in the cards but it gets easier as I get used to  reading it. I really enjoy doing symphony maths. 

Wahine Disaster | Summary and Evaluation

LI: To form an opinion. 

LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about.

This week the Kakapo's have done recriprocal reading on the story of "Escape from the Wahine". This story was about a natural disaster now one of New Zealand's most worst maritime storms/cyclones. After reading the story we had created a summary and an opinion as a group. We had created our summary and opinion on two different DLO's. Using our smart researching skills we found out some other relevant information for our opinion and summary. 

Assembly Reflection | #7 | PBS Livestream

Today LS2 was watching the seventh livestream assembly for PBS. The online assemblies started during level 3-2 lockdown. Mrs Johnston had been directing the assemblies each friday. The assemblies were to give updates on school/lockdown activity. We have continued the online assemblies during level 2. The assemblies have been giving updates on school activity and student achievements. Today Sakshi and Sulia had recieved their badges.  

Food Technology | Mrs Heka | Hotcakes

LI: To learn how to follow a recipe making banana pikelets. 

Today was the Yr 7's second session at food tech. Juel and I both worked together making our food. The food we were making today was banana hotcakes/pikelets with blueberry sauce. Juel and I both followed Mrs Heka's insctructions throughout the session. 

Cooking the hotcakes:

First we got out our utensils and mixing bowls. In the large bowl we added 1 cup of flour and 1 tblsp of sugar. We split the workload between me and Juel. Juel had gotten 3/4 of milk and 1 or 2 eggs. I had gotten the flour  and 2 tblsp of butter. We first mixed together the milk and eggs. Then we added one mashed up banana and milk and eggs into the flour bowl making our batter. After preparing our batter we started on our blueberry sauce. Juel and I both took turns making our pancakes. We made 6 pancakes each. Then after we made our blueberry sauce and our hotcakes, Mrs Heka had added the blueberry sauce on our hotcakes with Vanilla Ice-Cream. 

Since me and Juel were the first people to finish, we helped out some people making their hotcakes and washing their dishes. 

Cityscape of Sydney | Art

LI: To write a description of your cityscape using prepositions.

In my cityscape it shows my creation of the reflection and silhouette of Sydney. You should see a big arc on the right end of the artwork. The most prominent shape shows the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. Did you know, it took 1,400 men eight years to build the bridge at a cost of 1.5 billion Australian dollars and 16 lives lost?  On the other side of the artwork shows the tallest observation tower in the southern hemisphere, the Sydney Tower. My art also shows a blend of cool colours. The colours reflect the background and the type of time it is during the day. To blend the colours I used chalk pastels, I used the colours dark purple and dark blue creating a gradient color. I also added black to my colors to darken the tone. 

Exponents | Maths Challenge

LI: To use exponents.

This week for maths some students of LS2 have been learning how to use exponents. The exponent in a number shows how many times you use the number in multiplication. Today Sakshi, Sulia and I created a DLO solving a maths challenge. The question we were trying to solve was " If a hero tried to conquer the hydra by cutting off all of its heads everyday, how many  heads would the hydra have in 3 and 10 days?". To solve this problem our strategy was using exponents.
