the summer learning journey for this monday is art colouring book the person in this photo is marther Stefanyshyn Piper. Martha Stefanyshyn-Piper is an American Naval officer and former NASA astronaut.this activity was really fun thanks to the summer learning journey for letting us do their activities.
LI: To show our understanding of Hauora in context.
Athletes at the top of their field train both physically and mentally because it is both the body and the mind that need to be healthy to have balance as an athlete. It is important to enjoy and celebrate the results of what hard work has led to since it might be a one time opportunity. Olympic athletes that have earned a medal should be proud of themselves, and olympians that have unfortunately lost should be grateful for the opportunity.

L.I to use and understand the connection between he writen, the block code and the flow chart.
This is the comparison between the Python coding, the blocks and the flowchart for making the Microbit act like a dice.
LI: to understand the definition of mindfulness.
Mindfulness is relaxing your body, and having a calm mindset. Mindfulness discriminates against all the negative emotions going throughout your mind. This makes us more engaged in our learning and the things we are doing.
Today we had a session in LS2 about mindfulness. To relax our minds and bodies we took a few minutes to breathe in and out. This helped us clear our heads and clear our thoughts. It is treated as a taonga ( with a level of respect ).
This week for Reading we learnt about author's purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).
First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:
What
When
Where
Why
The article i was reading about was called
To understand how flowcharts relate to coding blocks.
To understand how to get the microbit to talk to another microbit using radio signals.
Here is my flowchart practice document.
L.I to make a DLO about the matariki stars
Inside
This week for the matariki challenges we created 2 brochures which was an inside brochure and an outside bochure. For my inside brochure, me and my group explained about the matariki stories, how matariki was celebrated in the past and what food was harvest at the festival. For my outside bochure, we explained matariki and wrote fact about it too.
What I found a bit hard is that i didn't know any fact so I had to reaserch it.
LI: to understand the origins of Matariki
Matariki is the Maori new year celebration. It takes places each year when the cluster of stars known as Matariki are seen in our skies. The new year is a time for new beginnings and is a time to embrace tradition
To strengthen our connections to Matariki we had a choice of research activities.
I found out how to find the matariki stars
I enjoyed this activity because I worked with other people that i didnt work with.
L.I to show what we like to do
L.I to learn to code the microbit in python
This first one shows the Python coding for a flashing heart. It flashes between a small heart icon and a large heart icon. The main thing to notice between the Python coding and the blocks is that the forever loop is at the top and bottom of the content in both.
LI: To use our smart searching skills to expand our knowledge of Ancient Greek Mythology.
L.I to edit our writing using draft
This week for writing we has been working on Abstract Noun Poems. Me and my partner's abstract noun is about Dream. An Abstract noun is something that exists but you cannot touch, an abstract noun also comes with metaphors and 5 senses. The 5 senses we use to make our poem powerful is using (smell,taste,hear,feeling and see). Something that helped us out of writing our abstract nouns is using Metaphors , Simile , complex sentences , punctuation, complex sentences and word hippo.
Then the next day we edited our poems using DRAFT (Delete, Rearange, Add, Fix, Talk)
Something we found interesting is how the DRAFT System works.
Something we learnt is how the DRAFT system works
LI to learn how to code microbots to play rock paper sizzsors and understand how to use a flow chart .
LI: To write a abstract noun senses poem
Our task was to create a poem using metaphors and abstract nouns.
A metaphor is a comparison of two things, saying one thing is the other without using ‘like’ or ‘as’.
Abstract nouns are things the we can see but we can't physically touch it.
The 5 senses are sight, hearing, taste, smell and feel.
First, we chose a word from the list, our group picked success. After picking the word,we looked for the structure in the example given to us. Then, we created a poem with the structure. After writing the poem, we created a DLO about the poem.
The word that our group chose was Success.
We really enjoyed this activity, because it taught us how to create metaphors and poems, using abstract nouns.
LI: to find as many similarities and differences as you can between the video and the text of “The Beginning”.
To continue our learning of Matariki, and the Maori story of Creation our task was to create a Venn Diagram. For our Venn Diagram we compared the differences and similarities between the Video and Written Version of the Maori Creation Story.
A Venn Diagram, is a diagram showcasing the differences and similarities between two different things.
LI: to consider both perspectives.
To continue our learning of Matariki, and the Maori story of Creation our task was to create a DLO to explain the evidence and perspective of a maori story. We read about Sacred Spots from Māori Mythology. We used the different evidence from the articles to create an opinion on whether we think it is true or false.
The story we chose to do was about the Tongariro National Park. This story talked about the mountains that surrounded Taupo lake, they were all male except for one. Her name was Pihanga. They fought for the love of Pihanga, only one came out victorious. That mountain was Tongariro.
LI: to identify the main ideas in the text.
To continue our learning of Matariki, and the Maori story of Creation our task was to create a DLO explaining the main ideas of the story of how maui slowed the sun. We watched a video explaining the story of how maui slowed the sun and why.
Maui and the villagers weren’t able to finish off their tasks during the day because the sun went by too fast. They got sick of it so maui and his brother made a plan to slow the sun. They used flax ropes and he magical jawbone Maui was given by his grandmother.
LI: to explain in fewer words what the text is about
For our Inquiry we were learning about Matariki, and the origin story. Our task was to watch a video on the Maori Creation story and we had to summarise the video. The video was an artist representing and creating the story through sand art.
Our 20 important words had to be the top important words from the video, words that represented the story. Then from the 20 we had to pick the 6 most important words Then using those 6 words we had to sum up the story in a few sentences.
L.I: To follow the rules and expectations, expected from teachers.
L.I To understand how the mBot is put together so that I can fix it when something goes wrong.
Today, we took an mBot apart and then reassembled it. We then tested it with some code to make sure that it worked correctly.
Here are the parts of the mBot that I took apart.
LI: To find the important information in a current event.
LI: To identify the author's purpose.
I found this activity really intresting because
L.I to findd the important information in a current event
L.I To celebrate reading
L.I to share our learning with our families
L.I to code a robot to try and make it move forward and back without touching it
My robot will wait until i have pressed the onboard button before it does anything. We used an "IF - THEN - ELSE" block as this gives the robot two choices of things to do. We are using the ULTRASONIC SENSORon the of the robot and we need to sense if something 10cm in front of it. IF something is 10cm or LESS in front of the robot , it will move backwards. IF something is NOT less han 10cm in the front of the robot, it wil move forwards (ELSE). This is all put into a forever block so that the robot constantly senses what is in front of it.
LI: To show my personal journey through books
In the morning we learned about money and how we should save money , and spend it wisely. Marlon gave us $1800 we had to spend it for a trip to Fiji. We had to buy a passport for $200. Then we had to buy a ticket there were two options $500 or $800 the difference is that the $500 flight you get no food and not that much space my group pick $500 because were still getting there. Next we had to buy a hotel to stay there we had to choose $600 with food and a open view to the water.
LI: To strengthen connections to technology.
LI: To learn about Isaac Newton
LI: To create a collage of your camp highlights
L.I: To have a fun experience during the Duffy Role Model Assembly.
Today was Panmure bridges schools first Duffy assembly of 2021. Marc and Karen from duffy in schools came in and Marc was telling us a story about how his life was hard, when he was young and how it was hard for him in his school days. He told us that when he was young kids used to bully him because the teachers used to put him up in front of the school and make him read. Marc used to read from his right to his left he got bullied for that. This was a fun and cool experience to learn about his story.
LI: To compare the Key Competencies we think we will use on camp and the Key Competencies we actually used.
LI: To a collaborative brochure that tells others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp
LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp
First I climbed up the ladder in fear then my legs started to tremble. After I passed the ladder I climbed on to the staples, one leg then the other, I finally stepped on to the beam as I was shaking to the bone. As I took my first step I felt goosebumps go up my spine, in spite of this I speeded straight forward to the next pole.
Third as I hugged The pole with all of my might I knew it was almost over all I needed to do was walk to the middle I walked to the middle of the beam, I took one foot off, then the other, after it almost seemed I was floating. I was so proud as I dropped off the beam.
As I was floating down from the beam I looked back at my group with success in my eyes. As my feet hit the ground I had a sense of relief that I had accomplished what I had done.
After I completed the activity I felt so happy with myself for having the courage to walk across the beam. I walked away from the activity proud of myself in my accomplishment.
This week the year 8 boys and girls gotta build their designs.
Mr Grundy told us before we used the dangerous things we had to measure our pieces then we could use
the dangerous things.But i didn't get up to that bit because i was still trying to measure my drawing.
Then Mr Grundy showed us how to uses a saw.Were not supposed to push down when were cutting the wood.
Then after that it was time to go
