Step It Up

 LI: to use TEEL paragraphs to explain our colour choice.

Art contain different types of elements for example colours and mixing. In my picture of roses I used bright colours that set you in a good mood. By mixing colours you can make a different colour or make the same colour but darker or brighter. There a different colour moods, for example dark corlours set you in a sad mood, like black, purple, green. bright colours set you in good mood. In art we use colours to expres our creativity. In my art I mainly used yellow which expressed my good mood while making it, the colours I used was dark yellow and bright yellow to express the happy day.

 LI: to reflect on tech.

This years tech was confusing and fun. We had go on lock - down for a couple of months and we were still doing tech. This year was very rough but still was very fun doing tech. Going to tech we got to do Robotics, cooking and science. We were able to meet new teachers that helped us learn and experience new things we never knew or never done it before. I would like to thank the teachers Mrs Ferguson, Mrs Heka and Mrs Sharma for helping learn new things.

For care awards I created a Collage showing my life at PBS. I decided to work with Karlos for this task. This was a CARE award task/challenge. My favourite part about being at this school was that I made lots of friends that could help me when I'm not feeling %100.

Thank you Letter

 LI: to write a thank you letter to a teacher or staff member.

This is a letter to Mrs Anderson because for helping with my education and the subjects I needed help with, maths, and writing. You helped me to become confident with myself while talking in front people. I learnt how to work together in a group with other people, and learnt how to ask for something when I needed it. I could explain myself when you asked me a question, because you helped me. You would do anything to us with our education and become successful. You would learn and teach us what you have learnt just to help us. 

Art Colouring Book

LI: To experiment with colours

Own Creation - Roses by Ong

Original -  Roses by Vincent Van Gogh

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 allowd us to recolours famous painting or images of landmarks around the world.

My favourite part of this activity is getting to experimenting with the colours.

Exploring international current events

 LI: To identify author’s purpose.

These reasons are to persuade, inform or entertain (PIE). Each day, newspaper editors around the world must make decisions about which stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening around the world, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map. For the current events I collaborated  with Sakshi. I enjoyed getting more help from her about how to do places on maps and how it works , something I found interesting was being to actually work well with someone I don't  really work with and being to have the confidence to share my thinking and knowing how to do Current events on google maps.

Te Whanau Raukura Performance

 

Te Whanau Raukura, the Kapahaka group came to our school to explain the behind the things they were using. They used the taiaha, poi and te rakau to explain the meaning behind elements of the Maori culture.  Next Bekah came into LS2 to show us how to play Pukana. While they were performing I found interesting was that they used the poi to train their wrist because it help get ready to fight when they go to war. It was fun to learn something you didn't know, I thought the poi was just used in a dance. It was really fun learning about the Maori culture and at the end they performed the haka which I found scary.

Exploring our national current events

 LI: To identify author’s purpose.

Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

 LI: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.

For reading we were learning about provocation, a provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today we considered both sides of the provocation, ‘Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’ We then used that information to help us form an opinion that we could justify with evidence. In activity this activity my opinion was, I think we should have our own choices of wearing a mask, because some people might not feel comfortable and for some people the might have breathing difficulty.

I enjoyed reading my groups opinions.

The Light brigade poem

 LI: to know the story behind the poem.

This week we learnt about the poem called the Light Brigade. We had to unpack the poem bit by bit to understand the meaning behind the poem. The author of this poem is Alfred Lord Testiness. The story behind this poem is about the light brigade riding the valley of death and then trying to retrieve the guns that were stolen.They came back failing the mission, and coming out with nothing. 600 men went in less than one third came back ( less that 200). Something I enjoyed doing doing was learning about the Light Brigade, because I didn't know about it in the first place.

Maths Clhallenges

 LI: to learn about mass and weight.

This week we were put into groups for Maths. In these groups we made up names that  represent maths or includes maths names, our name that we chose for our group was. The multiplying 7’s because we had seven people in our group and we were supposed to multiply our questions we were given. In the multiplying 7’s were Victoria our leader Giovannie, Makaili, Afa, Karlos  and Lily, we put all of our opinions together to come with different solutions to solve our challenges and we would have to ask questions if we didn't understand the question or ask for help because no one should have sat in silence because we are a team and we are all supposed participate so we all can have friendship even though we haven't worked together but we did make a big difference and we worked as a good team whether we liked  working together or not.

Something I found interesting was the amount of animals that weigh the same as an elephant, because we found six animals that weigh the same as an elephant altogether.
