Science

Today we have been given our certificate from Tamaki College for our participation of our science project. Our science project this year was to make a rubber band powered moon rover. Thank you Tamaki for letting us have the opportunity  of doing our science project and letting us have an amazing time at technology. I have had an amazing time and wish to have that time again next year.

Maths Movie

This is my Maths Movie on why maths should be learnt at school. This movie was collaboratively made by Latham, Zahn, and I. This movie is about a boy who doesn't know his maths very well, but he cheats and looks at his friends answers, so the smart and brainy friend teaches the not so brainy friend about maths. 

Student leader nomination

John

Being a head student would be an Amazing privilege because it would give me bigger assets in my future and for enrolling into secondary school. I think being head boy means focusing on academics, participating in leadership event, taking care of our younger students in and out of school activities. I will also give the

 teachers a helping hand. If I got elected to be head boy I would be 100% prepared and focused to take the great roll off of Julianos hands. I would also do the best that I can even if I don’t get chosen.

This is my paragraph on why I should be elected to be head boy for 2016. I have been nominated out of a lot of people.It would be an amazing achievement for me because it shows the leadership qualities that you have to show. Even for me it is a big achievement getting nominated. I also have to challenge two other students to get the role, Pote and Sebastian. These two are a hard challenge but I think I still have a chance of getting the role of being head boy.

Flag Voting

Today after assembly we had done our flag voting results. Have a look at the pie graph to have a look at the results. The flag that won was the

Belonging To PBS

This is a DLO that Manu and I made. This was one o the tasks that we had to do for the year 7 and 8 CARE award challenges. We had to make an iinformation brochure on Belonging To Panmure Bridge School. 

Choosing a new flag

Today for our Oral Language activity we did 4, 3, 2, 1. 4, 3, 2, 1  is an activity that we had to do to find out which flag different students in the class would pick. For 4 minutes we had to look at all the flags and choose the one that we wanted the new flag to be, For 3 minutes we had to get into pairs and tell our partner which flag we chose and why, for 2 minutes we had to find another partner and tell them the same thing, and for the last minute we had to find another pair and tell them our vote and why. We did this activity so we could hear different reasons and different things about the flag they would pick and why they chose the flag they did. Our group chose the Silver Fern(red, white and blue flag), because it shows the cultures coming together and rising upwards to the future.
Heres a question for you guys and girls: If you had to pick out of the 4 flags above which flag would you pick and why.

My Learning Journey Reflection

L.I: To reflect on personal goals set in Term 1

Dear Term 1 Me

I have had a great year, But weren’t there some ups and downs during the year like when I got opportunities to show my leadership and represent our school by presenting my learning to other visiting teachers. Those were definitely ups. Breaking my charger port was my biggest down as it has made my learning harder to get. Next year I am going to try and be a role model for our younger students. I really would like to be a student leader. This year was a great achievement for me, but I know I need to keep reading so I can understand new information. I am going to take part in the summer blogging challenge. See you next year.
