LI: To create a kowhaiwhai pattern to represent summer
LI: To create a piece of insect art
Inspired by art creations by Raku Inoue we went outside and collected leaves, twigs, and other plant debris to create our own insect images. I found it quite hard to… because..I enjoyed this because i had to find sticks that made a a insect Three facts I found a about a stick insect are: females are generally larger than males . females can reproduce without the presence of males baby stick bugs are called nymphs.

This year has been one of roughest year as we got into lockdown and things about as Covid-19 hit. On weekdays every friday the year 7’s and year 8’s students at Panmure Bridge School goes to tech, At tech we have 3 rotations, The year 7’s rotations went from Mrs Fregson,Mrs Heka and Mrs Sharma, Mrs Fregoson is all about doing robots and moving them around as playing with coding, Mrs Heka is all about making food and trying them out, lastly Mrs Sharma is all about having fun in science. I think tech this year was the best as it was our first year doing tech, I really enjoyed finding out new things every friday with them. I think tech really helped me with learning different facts.
Today at tamaki college was the last week at tech we grabbed 10 leaves for the activity.we had to try to get the colour,texture,thickness,pattern and the size of the leaves . we had to find out how the plants eat,how plants grow,why animals need plants.than we wrote down what kind of leaves people eat for example cabbage,red cabbage,lettuce,seaweed,kale,spinach.
Then we watched a video about plants and how they spread water through the plant.
This morning we tried one of this year’s Kick Start Summer Learning Journey activities. The purpose of this task was to experiment with colours by mixing colours from the original palette with pop colours. This allowed us to recolours famous painting or images of landmarks around the world.the picture i chose is called moon masque by Lois Mailou Jones.
L.I To find out the main idea
This DLO is about the Main Ideas in the Poem called Embarrassment. I worked with Makaili,Hosea,Afa and liletina. We needed to read the book twice to help us understand what the book is about. I also needed to find out the main details that will help others and yourself understand what the main Idea is . Working with my buddies was really fun and enjoyable because we shared our ideas by working together to understand the book and the main idea.
.
LI: to show your strategies
This week in maths Afatia, Lukah, haylee, Juel and I created a DLO about our challenge we did in Maths.Our maths challenges were based on our learning about weight. We solved three separate word problems and chose one to make a dlo about. We explained our strategy on how we got the answer. Our problem was to figure out the combination of animals to match the weight of an elephant.
This week for tech, The year 7s Worked with Mrs Sharma and Mr Dunn. Mr Dunn showed us by explaining and understanding How many fins does the rocket need to fly ( No Fins , 2 Fins or 4 Fins) for my prediction. I think my rocket needs 4 fins to fly. We first started off by writing keywords that link to rocket science. We also learned interesting facts and information about rockets. The most interesting fact I learned was that here is a New Zealand Rocket company called Rocket Lab. We learned interesting things about that lab and who works with them.
Blurb: i Today LS2 worked with Room 5. We picked partners and my partner was Max and jayden. we also made a summary on Guy Fawkes and how he tried to blow up parliament. We worked collaboratively with our partner and completed the challenge.
Why is it important to make wise choices?
Plastic pollution is really bad for our environment and bad for our sea animals
Did you know that there are 4 billion tons of plastic that goes into our ocean?
Therefore we got to stop littering because the rubbish pollutes our environment and our sea animals.
When we drop plastic every year there are 4 billion tons of plastic that gets released into the ocean. Some people think that littering is not ok and some people think that it is oK because they are too lazy to put their rubbish in the bin.
Every day approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution finds their way into our oceans. There may now be around 5.25 trillion macro and micro plastic pieces floating in the open ocean.
Weighing up to 269,000 tonnes of plastic. Plastics consistently makes up 60 to 90% of all marine debris studied.Turtles have been dying because of plastic pollution.
When we litter we should make wise choices of what actions we do because some people don't know what they do and what actions they make.
When people litter it takes a long time for the animals to digest the plastic in their stomach and when it doesn't digest they start to die.
The reason why the waters are not clear is because of the rubbish and the plastic that gets into the ocean and goes into the middle of the ocean because of the current that takes the plastic.
Why do people drop plastic when we have rubbish bins to put rubbish in? Did you know that in 2019 there were 5 trillion pieces of plastic waste in the world's oceans.
Blub:
we had to write a paragraph that had to do with plastic pollution did u know that we dropped less plastic than last year .did u know last year we dropped 5 trillion pieces of plastic and this year we dropped 5.25 trillion macro and micro pieces of plastic in our ocean.
L.I To think deeply about a change I would make ‘If I was Prime Minister I would

LI:To identify the different types and uses of plastic
This week for tech the year 7s at Panmure Bridge School learned about the different types of plastics. We also learned about Plastic, material, wood, paper and metal which helps us understand more about plastics. We also played an activity that will give us more information on plastic. The activity we played was about looking around the class and trying to look for the different materials that we could see. The most interesting fact that I learnt was that every year 17 billion rubbish gets thrown away in the ocean.
L.I to make beats with our body parts
This week, The year 7s and year 8’s had Kiwisport,This term Panmure Bridge school is doing Dance for this term. We are working with Rebecca, Rebecca is our dance teacher. This week our theme is about getting into rydem and making the same beat at the same time. I enjoyed making beats with my hands,feet and other body parts. I also really enjoyed dancing to one of my favorite songs, Say So by Doja cat . Moving around with my friends and dancing to the music was really funny and fun to do.
L.I to work out the elapsed time.
LI: To identify what we know about science
Today for Tech we had science with Mrs Sharma. First we got new booklets from Mrs Sharma. and on our booklets we wrote what we think science is and if we have a question that we would say to a scientist then we got A3 paper. After that we folded our A3 paper into quarters then we wrote the most science words we can write in 2 minutes . Then we drawed a picture of what we think scientist do if there that we got photos and we picked one each and after that we wrote about what the photo is about.
LI: To create a timeline to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh.
L.I to make shapes by collaborating with other
Miss Rebecca is our dance teacher. The topic is me and my body. We did dance to express me by doing movement and by creating shapes with our body to the song. we had to dance around until the music stopped then we had to be collaboratively with our group and make a shape with our body. The fun thing about dance is that there are no wrong ways to dance. you can dance however you want.the finish this is that we needed to work together to see what letters we can get in to we had four groups of six and in that six people we all had to try do the alphabet with the whole group well working collaboratively.
L.I To find the three most vital ideas from the information to help us find the answer “What is science?”
This week we watched a video which helped us understand what science is. While watching the video, we took notes, by selecting and rejecting the information. We used the information to identify the three most vital ideas. We shared our ideas and negotiated on where to put the information, whether it was four very important ideas or three most vital ideas. We also collaborated and respected each other's opinions for this activity.
We think the three most vital ideas are:
L.I: To summarise the information.
This week for our reading topic (science), we created a summary using the information from our post it notes. In our summary, we skimmed and scanned to find the important keywords. We also shared our ideas and collaborated to create our summary. For our next activity, we used a question dice to help us create three interesting questions that we wanted to research. We all worked together in these activities.
The three most interesting questions are:
When was science discovered?
Why is science important?
How is science different from the past to today?
L.I Making connections to problem solving
Today for food technology we made a Sagwala dish first we got our medium bowl out and added the curry powder into the bowl then we gave our medium bowl to Miss Heka to get the rice. After that we got our measuring cups and measuring spoons. Then we put our tomato into one of the measuring cup and the other measuring cups were use to add our yogurt then we added all of our ingredients. It was amazing and fun.
L.I to learn how to dig
Today for kiwi sport we Learned a new skill that was digging. we recapped about what we did. Then we got in groups 4 digging to each other. After that we got into groups. The groups were 1
