2K16 Year Reveiw

Since its year 8's last year here at Panmure Bridge School, I wanted to make a collage to remember all the fun activities and collaborations we have had. This year has been the best year I have ever had. This year we met new people, learnt new things and enjoyed our selves. We would like to thank all the teachers for supporting us at all time, and giving us memories that we would never forget. Here we come 2017!

2016 Graduation

On Wednesday Night, the year 8's had Graduation held down at the Pakuranga Sailing Club. Before we started eating we waited for everyone to get there. Everyone looked beautiful and handsome, for dinner we had Lasagna, buns and we had fizzes and juices. We all danced with a different person within every dance we did. We all gathered up together as 1 and had last moments before the year ends. All students enjoyed themselves and had fun that night. It was very challenging that the fact that we had to dance in a dress and a suit. I enjoyed myself and I had fun. That was the best day of the year. Sit back and enjoy the video.

Labyrinth

This is a DLO on Labyrinth, that I did with my partner Cecillia. So yesterday and today we have been learning about the movie called "Labyrinth" it was fun to learn about the shot types also what there part/role is in the movie and what. Today we got to finish watching the ending and to rewind and watch some of the scenes to help us fill out our form. My best part of the movie was when the My favorite part was when the goblins were saying shut up to each other because they were wait for Sarah to say “I wish the Goblins can take you right about now”

Soccer

Today LS2 had soccer. We were put into teams and in that team we had to challenge each other playing a game of soccer. I was in the non bibs team and with that team we were working so hard to try and get the ball in the goal. We first versed team blue, we were working so hard and we were working together as a team and for that game we won 4-0. We then versed team green, with that team we tried our best but unfortunately lost. We moved on and versed team red, my team tried and tried but again we lost. My team was feeling a little down but we moved on and played team yellow which was our last game. We were ending off with a positive attitude weather we win or lose, we were playing our hardest and we weren't giving up but as we came up to the end, we unfortunately lost again. We all had fun and played our best even though it was our first session of soccer.

Atletics Day

Today we had Athletics Day. TIt started off with a nice weather but as we got through the day it started pouring with rain. The year 7's & 8's got split into 3 groups. For the year 8's the first activity was in the hall and it was Rob The Nest. We had fun and showed a lot of participation also throughout playing that game it was very tiering but we all managed to try make our teams come 1st. The next activity was the sponge relay and it was a lot of fun. Out of all the fun we had, Gozan's team won and came 1st. Next game was the long jump. Now this was very tricky because the grass was slippery. All we had to do was to see who could jump the furthest. We have finally came 1st for the first time. We would like to thank Mr Ogilivie for organizing all of these activities and the staff members and the parents who came down and supported this event. I want to just say a huge thank you for all the groups who showed a lot of team work and team spirit in all the activities. We would also like thank the Tamaki College students for running all the different activities.

Hockey

On Thursday we had hockey. What we did was practicing pushing the ball and also trapping as well as hitting. Practicing is really good for us because we get to know how to control the ball with the hockey stick. After that we then bounced the ball on the stick and our challenge was to see how many we can do. Once we done that we played a game it was when you have to take someones ball out of the square and then you do that over again if there are 4 or 5 people still in then there then we call "SHARK!" shark is when someone is out and then they come back in the square to try and get someone out until there is 1 player and that will be the winner. We would like to thank Carly for teaching us new skills.

E Groups Opinions

For the past few weeks we were learning about pigeons. We learned a lot like how they risked there lives to send messages in WW1 & 2. This DLO have to be about our group opinion. This DLO was the last DLO for our topic. We have to write our own opinions about if you think pigeons are special or pests. I think that pigeons are special because they help save people's lives even though they make a lot of mess such as leaving guano on the ground and caring diease.

Kiwi Sport (Hockey)

Today we had kiwi sport and out sport was called Hockey. Today was our first session and it was exciting and very fun. To start off the session we got to practice a few skills. The first skill that was using traffic lights (Green, Orange, Red, Purple, Blue & Silver). We learnt how to use the hockey stick and to move the ball side to side, front and back, super fast and much more. We got to have 2 well skilled coaches and with our first session we enjoyed ourselves.

I have learnt alot even though this game was a bit to complicated.

This is a collage that I made based on Paper Planes. For our maths, the whole class were put into groups. In my group there was Ana, Afu, Silivia, Thomas, Sylis and Harry. We got told to select the best plane in our group and we have picked Thomas's plane because it flew the furthest. Our group won the finals competition because our plane flew the furthest. It was really competitive and challenging with the other groups. Our three measurement were 11.20, 14.00 and 14.01. As you can see, the furthest was 14.01. We were very proud of our results.

Paper Plane

For Inquiry yesterday we got put into groups to work collaboratively together based on making paper planes. Our topic was all about flight, and based on that topic our task was to create a paper plane to see how far it goes. We were using our searching skills to find sites about how to make paper planes. Our group has finally completed making a paper plane so we have tried flying our planes off the deck, but when that happened our plane went straight down heading to the ground. We failed and failed alot of times but the thing is that we all never gave up.

Touch

Today we have been doing kiwi sport with Trava. As a class we have been learning what skills you need when playing a game of touch. The thing I have learnt when playing touch is that when you get touched you have to make sure you put the ball down so that you don't cause a penalty. if you do a penalty you have to hand the ball over to the other side. We all had a fun day today, especially getting to know things that we don't know. Today LS2 has learnt a lot about touch, and when playing a real game of touch we all will use our skills that we learnt in a actual game.

We have been working collaboratively together on this DLO to get it completed. We have learnt that the meaning for Dehydration is that, your not drinking enough water. We also found out that the meaning for Hydration is that you receive a lot of water in your body to keep yourself focused on your work. Me and my partner has learnt a lot about Dehydration and Hydration.

The visitors were Lucy and Johnny. We all had to keep an eye out for what they were doing and we also listened really carefully to Johnny and Lucy. I learnt that action speaks louder than words. 

Cyber Smart

Today a group of people went to the library to learn about Cyber-Smart with Mrs Ogilvie. She was helping some of the year 8's with Cyber-Smart. I didn't go to the library to learn about Cyber-Smart but I had a partner that gave me extra help with learning about Cyber-Smart. My partner showed me this site called epic.com. It was very interesting finding out new things.

Quizizz

This is a photo of our classroom focused on maths. Today LS2 did Quizzes. We were practicing working together to solve questions. Quizzes is a site where you can challenge your class mates at answering maths questions and also there is a leader board that shows how many you got right and how many you got wrong. After answering a question, it will come up with what place you come, for an example 1st 2nd 3rd and excestra. We all had fun today during maths, also my goal for maths is to answer a question before

Panmure Library

This is a photo that Mrs Anderson took from when we were at the Panmure Library. On Friday we were invited to the Panmure Library to see Stig Wemyss (the voice of Andy Griffins books). We got to the library, and everyone was excited to see the famous Stig. In the library we saw all his books and CD's, as Stig came out he hooked us in with his humor. Stig had prizes to give out after we did some of his challenges. He was also telling us about a new app that had all his books on it, and it was called Borrow Box. We had a lot of fun with Stig and we would like to say a huge thank you to the librarians for providing and supporting this event. If you want to check out his books go check out Borrow Box.

This is my DLO based a reading can do. I have done a activity on Word Clines. I have learnt lots about word clines, the definition of word clines are finding other words that are the same. E.g (Happy, Joyful, Delighted and more). My goal for reading today was to actually find a interesting words that I hardly use.

Cross Country

Yesterday we had a cross country run down at the Dunkirk Reserve. It was really really interesting because the people that were running were really trying their best to come 1st, 2nd or 3rd. On the sideline most of the kids were cheering for the others.  The senior students were really supportive and being great role models to the other kids that were running. I was so proud of everyone who participated in the cross country run because they did a lot of training to run at good pace. Everyone all had fun and luckily all of the students made it to the end. A massive thank you to the helpers that were helping our and also a massive thank you to Mr Ogilvie for organising this for all of the students here at Panmure Bridge School. What a excellent job to all students that GAVE IT A TRY!!!!!!

Read Theory

Today for reading we started off with doing Read Theory for 20 minutes. While doing this, I learnt to understand the text and to think about what the question is asking me to. This site will help you with your reading. When I want to answer a question I would always look back at the text to make sure I get my answer correct.

My Platform Game

This is my Platform Game that I did created on Scratch. I have used many things on Scratch such as sprites, backdrops, levels, colours and many more. We had took copy of what the teacher showed us.  The thing we had to do is that we had to skim and scan through the instruction, so that when we can create our own Platform Game. Enjoy my game and have a little play with it.

Sketch Note

 Here is my photo's of my sketch note. The first sketch note was Athletes, then it was questions, Then we did Rio, and the last sketch note we did was Olympic Medals. Sketch notes helped us understand the learning because no body else had to understand it only yourself. When your doing sketch notes, you can either use words or pictures. You don't need skills to do a sketch note because nothing has to be perfect. Our LI: Create a sketch note to recall information in our own words or pictures. Sketch note helps us to keep ourselves focused and another thing you could also do is to make up a story using pictures that you can retell.

Cross Country

Here is a photo of me training for Cross Country. We had to train for cross country but first we did warm up's to get our body to wake up to start running. Mr Ogilvie set us a pace to run for the whole entire laps, once we came to the last lap we had to sprint to end up with. The first time we ran we did 1 lap and after that we added some more laps on. We ran around the whole field at school. We did Cross Country for endurance, which is to keep ourselves fit.

Ripper Rugby Interschool

Yesterday the year 5, 6, 7 & 8's went to down to Dunkirk Reserve for the Rugby Cluster Day. We had some people that came from Otahuhu College, there names were Manu, Rulon & Paea. We also had the coach come from Otahuhu College and his name was Lesley. We all started off warming our bodies up. Our first game was against Bailey Road, we had a draw which was 3-3. Our second game was against Point England, unfortunately we lost 2-7 but the thing is that we all tried our best. Our third game was against Tamaki Primary, it was a pretty tough game but we had won our game by 1 point, 2-3. Our fourth game was against Sylvia Park, unluckily we lost again, 3-5. Our fifth game was against Glen Brae, it was a pretty tough game and a pretty good school to beat against. We lost again by 2 points, 3-1. Our final game was against Sylvia Park again. We all took part and we all had fun playing our last game. We luckily won our last game to end our last game with. We won by 2 points, and the scores were 5-3.

Ancient & Modern Olympics

This is my Venn diagrame that I did with my partners Angela and Savelina. I learnt what is different and the same about the Ancient Olympics and the Modern Olympics. I found that the Similarity's of these both subjects. This was easy & I had fun Learning about the two subjects.

Run, Jump, Throw

Today for our kiwi sport (Run, Jump, Throw) we were learning on knowing our skills for high jump. I learnt that when your doing high jump you have to have slitely bent legs, scissors legs + scissors arms and also when your doing high jump you have to sprint so that when you jump over the bar it dosen't fall. The thing we were focusing on today getting our skills right. We had to form a line against the wall, we had to line up boy girl then Mrs A would split us up into 2 teams. Both of our teams had to do the scissor kick to get over the bar but before we did that we practiced by standing beside a line pretending it was the bar, then we had to do left left, right right. What I mean by left left right right is that when your jumping over the bar while doing the scissor action at the same time, you have to make sure if you jump with you left leg, that means you have to use your left hand to do the scissor action, and if you jump with your right leg you have to use your right hand to do the scissor action. The side I got use to was my right, only because I jump higher on my right, but on that day I jumped from using my left, the only reason being was because my goal on that day was to improve on jumping high and using the scissor action properly to get my legs up high. Another thing I learnt on that day was that when you jump over the bar, your toes have to be pointing up in the sky so that when you jump, you can jump higher from how you normally jump. I have to say that day was pretty challenging but it was actually fun and interesting learning new things about high jump.

E-Ako Maths

Here are my screenshots that I took while I was doing my E-Ako Maths. These show that I was trying to learn my fractions well enough to answer a question just like that. I have improved on my maths, but my goal for maths are to know it fast enough just to answer it before 3 seconds. I have learnt lots in maths, especially my fractions. For fractions I have learnt that two thirds of 15, you could divide 15 by 3, then multiply five by two. I really enjoy doing maths because maths for me is fun !
