Cinema problem solving

This week for maths our maths group worked out three maths problems. Although for the real task we had to choose one problem and make a DLO about it! I chose the cinema problem and I was able to explain how I got the answer 4 in my DLO too. The problem is also in the bottom left corner of my DLO !

Analogue time

Analogue Time.

So as most of us know, we humans usually count on our phones,
iPads or computers to read digital time, instead of reading analogue time.
But look no further because I am able to teach you how to read analogue time!

There are three hands on a analogue clock, or two for a common one.
Each hand tells bits of time, like the short hand or the long hand.
They all tell the proper time. So let’s take a further look at the short hand first.

When the shorthand travels around the clock it tells the hour.
For example if the time was nine fourteen the short hand would be on nine,
because it’s the hour hand.
Sometimes people even call the short hand the hour hand.
Also analogue time always has a short hand,
and so that’s how you would be able to tell the difference
between the long hand and the short hand.

Now you know what the short hand tells,
I will explain how the long hand and the face works.
Firstly we will talk about the long hand,
and how it works and what it talks about.
So the long hand tells the minutes on a analogue clock.
Another example is pretend the time is still nine fourteen,
thus the minutes would be fourteen.
Now the face is basically the clock itself and the numbers included.
It’s basically the area of the clock.

Now that we have talked about the face,
shorthand and longhand I will be explaining the numerals on a analogue clock.
The numerals on a clock is basically the numbers most of us already know
about.

Most of us know how much easier it is to read analogue time instead of using
phones,
iPads or computers to read digital time we can now read
off a clock on the wall or a watch!

This week I have published my writing work about how the analogue time works. Analogue time is not that hard to understand. Although even I had those times where I got stuck on figuring out what the time was on a analogue clock. Now that I understand, with my work I have published I hope you do too!

Water view and Gotthard tunnel

For this activity me and Fui have blogged about the water view tunnel and the Gotthard tunnel.
We had to make a venn diagram about the two and we also had to compare them.
This activity taught us both a lot and we hope this helps you too. Apparently a couple of people died in the building of the Gotthard tunnel and it takes at least 160 people to build the water view tunnel! Also these two tunnels both are very unique and go up to a fast speed!

Purpose of tunnels

In week 1, me and Fui made a presentation on the purpose of tunnels.
We gathered information about these tunnels and managed to get thru a lot of tunnels.
We were also able to find facts about them like the navigation tunnel and how they are like forks and split.

Blog commenting

Today I have commented on both Hajera and Aung Naings blog posts about there scale drawings. Both scale drawings were equally good, and in the end they both turned out very well. Hajera drew Olaf and Aung Naing drew Deku. The colours and shading were both well shaded and they both resemble there images well too! Also I think it would be a good idea to check out there blog posts see there final designs of Olaf and Deku!

Sky tower trip

Today LS2, LS1 and room 5 visited the Sky Tower to learn about its features and bits of Auckland too. This was a huge opportunity for us, because some people may have not gotten the the chance to go to the Sky Tower before. Our class was split into two groups, and both groups got the chance to walk around the Sky Tower. Each group went to three stations, the theatre, the observation deck and the emergency refuge. Each room was a part of the Sky Tower and had lots of details to them. We learnt about the Sky Tower by watching some clips in the theatre and we got a lovely view of Auckland from the observation deck. The emergency room, also had unique features as well. The walls, ground and doors were fire proof, which made the room incredibly strong. Although we couldn't have gone on this amazing trip without the help of Douglas Bates. We all thank him so much for the donation he gave our school, to get the chance to go to the Sky Tower. Another person who helped us was Mr Dobson so a big thank you to him for being a parent helper.

Why is sleep important?

Our presentation




This term we have been working collaboratively within our READ groups to find information that will expand our knowledge about sleep. For this topic we have been answering the questions we needed to answer to create a presentation which will hopefully showcase the amount of learning and skills we have picked up along the way. Since the beginning week of this topic we have chosen a leader who helped us stay on track and made sure that we were worked collaboratively within our group. While we were trying to improve our knowledge about sleep we all partook so as a guideline we used the reciprocal reading technique. In reciprocal reading we have someone who summarises the text, a questioner, a leader, a person who helps clarify confusing material found in a text, and also a predictor. While doing this activity we were asked to book our own guided sessions as we needed help with the question, does technology effect our sleeping patterns and also we were asked to choose a time where Mrs Anderson will help us learn how to infer. To learn how to infer we looked at the rooms children around the world have to sleep in and answered does everyone get a healthy sleep. Our group answered no as some of them are at risk of getting while others are always on the lookout for danger as they sleep in an open space. To summarise our learning we created a presentation which answers all the questions asked by Mrs Anderson. Today we showed all the reading groups what we have done and we all spoke proudly and we were all proud of our efforts. While learning about sleep we learnt that melatonin was the hormone produced in our bodies to regulate our sleeping patterns. I found this interesting because I didn't know that our bodies produce more than one hormone.

Scale drawing / Maths week

Last week, our class has been doing scale drawing. The scale drawing activity started with a practise grid, which we had to draw either a butterfly or a lion. Doing scale drawing takes a lot of time, and each sketch must be in a box each. Next we all went on the internet to look for a picture to draw on a ratio of 1:2. We also had to enlarge our grids so the scale factor would be 2. This was also my first attempt at doing scale drawing, which I really enjoyed. The best part in my opinion would be colouring in and shading my drawing. In the end I also really liked the way both eyes were shaded, because it lets off a nice blend of colours. Although I found it really hard to draw box by box because I was really hoping to see the end results quicker then expected. Next time we do scale drawing, I will most likely take time drawing in each box to get a better result. But in the end I was really proud of my drawing, and I can't wait till next time.

Weasel Poem

I am cute

I am small,

but that is not all.

I may look harmless

and tender,

But I am quite slender.

I may be small

and weigh so little,

but I am so much more, than those beasts (people) may figure.

For writing last week we have created a poem, including how we would be if we were looking through there eyes. I thought for a very long time, and came up with a weasel to mix things up and make mine different to others. I was very happy with the ending of my poem and people really liked it too! My favourite poem from other people would be Sky's poem about kittens!

Story ideas/ tech

For tech I also made story ideas! The three ideas all link to each other. The first idea was about how two girls named Gloria and Faith are teens and take the bus to there destination. The second is when they were younger and they were not allowed to take the bus or walk by them selves, and instead walk with there parents. Unfortunately I couldn't finish the third idea.

Back drop ideas.

For tech I have also made some backdrop ideas! The first two is made by me too. The first one is how Gloria or Faith would be taking the bus, because there older and there parents have more trust in them and the second when there little and they walk with there parents. The third is just there bed room though and was taken from scratch.

Digitech / Sprites

For tech we have been making sprites! My two main sprites is Gloria ( The brown haired girl ) and Faith ( the black haired girl ). The two little ones are the little version of Gloria and Faith. My favourite out of all of these sprites is Gloria! She was the first sprite I made and I was very happy with the results for her character.

Kiwi can

Last week for Kiwi Can,

We talked about goal settings, and why it is important to set goals for yourself.

It is very important to set goals, because it will set you up for your future goals in life.
Our activity was golden child which was awesome!
We showed a great team effort and we were able to get some people out.
I really enjoyed this session and hope to do,
golden child again!

Kiwi can

This week for kiwi can we have learn't about problem solving and how it affects our lives.

 It is important to problem solve with each other, to make work better, to create better ideas and to finish a job! 

Our activity was rock paper scissors, we had to get into partners and vs each other face to face. Also our main game we played was hand soccer! It was also a great activity to do. 

Tech reflection

Today for tech we have been working on our detail designs and our shared survey. We all gave our opinions about which character should be the main one, the main background and the main story idea. I really liked the amount of effort that was put in to most of the year 7 surveys. They were very creative, and there was so much wizard theme ones too, which seemed to interest me. I really enjoyed tech, it was fun and it was great to hear that people were giving feed back.

Why is sleeping healthy / FINAL DLO

For the past three week my reading group has been studying about sleep and why its so important for our health and lives. For the first two weeks we have had some sessions with our teachers about sleep and if we get the right amount of sleep. Not only this but we have also gained more and more inferring skills. Our group has been getting along for the past three weeks and we were able to manage, and finish off our final DLO we will be presenting. This will be quite exciting as we will also gain more confidence! 

Medi cube opening

Yesterday PBS had a special opening of our very own Medi Cube. We are the first school in the country to have our very own. Not only this but 50 very special vips joined in with the gathering. This was exciting for us, as their will be no payments to have a check up and we will be provided with free medicine. Star ships company and barfoot and Thompson joined us. This was very exciting and their was even a joke thrown into it ! The following joke was what is a legless cow? GROUND BEEF ! Funny, right? Other than that we also proudly presented it opened right here in Panmure Bridge school!

Cook Island language week

Last week was Cook Island language week. Celebrating the culture Viva, Kanye, Coree, Jona and I, have made a DLO about the culture and all of the special things they do. I am Cook Island myself and I can pronounce the words very well ! My group has wrote about the food they eat, traditional clothing, The flag, some translation, How much languages are in the Cook Islands, Interesting facts and the distance.

Inkheart / poppy blog post comment

This week I have commented on Poppy's blog from ruma tahi school. Her post about the book inkheart inspired me so much to read it! It was about a group of friends fighting to get back to there magical dimension.
