Teachers Only Day Kapa Haka

Last Friday was supposed to be a day off for the students of Panmure Bridge School, but for the Kapa Haka group, the real work was just beginning. Teachers from all around our local area and some who had traveled from the far corners of New Zealand were gathering, and we were the ones chosen to welcome them. Our Preformance was amazing and our action was strong and our vocices were strong and with the comonation of our strong voices and our action we had a wonderful Preformance and the teachers from all of new Zealand.

Gangana Samoa

Last week was Samoan Language Week and Panmure Bridge school celebrated it by doing dances and dressing up with traditional Samoan clothing such as Puletasi’s ect. We learnt different phrases in Samoan to help Samoan students help learn and for teachers to know what to do when a Samoan student arrives. In LS2, we  respect everyones cultures and would not show disresepect toward cultures that some pupils arent.

The Boy In The Stripped Pajamas

We listened to ther audio book by John Boyne. After each chapter we explored the mood and atmosphere. Mood is like the way the person in the chapter is felling and the atmosphere is like the overall vibe of the chapter.We worked together collabboratively to summarize each in ten sentences, This helped us practice s/c/c sentences. Some days we use Gemini to Prompt us and some days we our ten sentences card that helps us by giving us some exsamples and it helps becuase it gives us ideas and we can add onto it. Something that I found interesting was that the mood and atmosphere changes though out the book.

Abstract Noun

We were learning about abstract nouns and for this task we all chose a abstract noun that connects to the book the boy in the stripped pajamas and after that we made it into a poem that shows what our abstract noun and we also generated aa image that go’s with our poem. then after we finished that we got to chose another abstract noun and do the same thing, and after all of that we all got up and shared our abstract noun poems.

 

Panmure Basin Adventure.

LS2 went to walk the panmure basin and we learned a lot about the basin and what the basin used to be back in the day. Even though the heat was intense we all still made arcoss the finish line. One thing that I liked about the basin walk was that we all encorged each other to make it pass the finish line.

Building Hope

After reading the diary of Anne Frank and The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas we talked about what people must have felt like their whole world turned upside down. I can’t imagene what it felt like because if my world was turned upside down I would not feel great because I would not have any one beside me to guide me.Yesterday we all discussed how we could put together the cloth of dreams back together. We all drew what we thought would be good to put on the cloth and one thing that I liked about this task was we all used our collaborative ideas to help us with this task and there were no rules but it was all about creative expression on the cloth.

This actitivy was inspired by the book Teaspoon of Light

Adding Algorithm

In LS2 we have been making DLO’s about maths algorthims. Algorithims are placements for the numbers that make the question that your doing easier. We have made Multiplication, Subtraction addition, short division and long division. After we finish these tasks we could do more in the future like rounding and decimals for example.

Subtracting Algorthm

For Maths my group, group 2 created a DLO that shows others how to do algorithm subtraction. After we learned how to do algorithm subtraction something our teacher, Mrs Fisi’ahi tells us is to not worry about how big the number or how many numbers or subtracting it doesn’t matter because its always the same strategy that you use. Something I liked about creating this was helping the ones who didn’t know understand how to do algorithm addition.

Searching For Sewing

In sewing we got to search up different Bags that would be easy for use to make. One thing that I liked about this task was that I could make the bag for my loved ones and my close friends another thing that I liked about this task was that we could choose different color of fabric and make it just right for the people we love or have close to us.
