L.I: To read for meaning and understanding.
Our challenge today was to use our smart searching skills to create a DLO in our own words that tell us about the life of our favourite Manga artist or a well known Manga artist.
A fact I found interesting about Akira Toriyama was that he was inspired by the Disney movies during his childhood and Akira Toriyama first Manga was called Dr. Slump.
L.I: To make diagram of Hauora.
This week we created a poster about Hauora. In the poster we wrote the different meanings of each wall for example: Taha Wairua is your spiritual well being. Taha Wairua explores your relationship...
Having the four walls standing would make an person and athletes feel motivated, happy and would have a balanced mindset which basically means a positive mindset.
Having all the four walls up help the hard working Athlete have a balance mindset and a healthy, strong body. Mistakes athletes made would help them push harder and instead of being in a stressed situation. If the four walls were all standing they would feel motivated, proud, confident and happy. If the four walls feel they would feel terrible, dissapointed, upset and have no motivation.
L.I: To summarise a text
Fantastic fish use their gills to breathe underwater. They have three different fins to help them swim. These are the dorsal, pectoral and tail fin.
For reading with Mrs Linda we read fantastic fish. It’s about different unique fish. Fiish have three different fins. They are the dorsal fin which keeps the fish from rolling over, the tail fin which pushes the fish forward and the pectoral fish which helps the fish steer.
Some interesting facts we found were that fish have three different types of fins. Mudskippers can live out of the water and a manta ray has a wingspan about 7 metres across.
We found this activity fun and interesting because we found out the different uses of the fins and there are some fish that don’t look like fish for example the seahorse and the mudskipper. This was an enjoyable activity.
L.I: To learn about the different taste buds.
This week for science we researched and learned about the four different taste buds which is: sweet, sour, bitter and salty. After that we finally started the experiment and we tasted each bottle of liquid. Then we recored the information.
After my investigation, I found out that the tongue has many nerves that help detect and transmit taste signals to the brain. Also not everyone has the same taste buds.
I enjoyed this experiment but I didn't enjoy some of the liquids because it tasted disgusting.
LI: To understand the meaning behind the pause breathe smile program.
This week we had our first session of the Pause Breathe Smile program. Our learning was based on having a calm mindset. We were introduced to this program by first defining what the word mindfulness is. Then we defined it and shared our different definitions with others.
After talking about mindfulness we were introduced to the red zone and the green zone. They are two different zones. The red zone is when you feel stressed,anxious,distracted and others. The green zone is when you feel calm, relaxed, peaceful, curious, clear, balanced, content and engaged.
We were balancing our mind set by forgiving bad things that happened in the past and calming our mind down and focusing on the present. To do this we sat in a circle and listened to the bell while breathing in and out, this helped us relax and focus on positive things.
I enjoyed this session because we learnt about having a positive mindset and about being mindful of others. During this session I learnt how to Pause, Breathe and Smile and calm my mind.
L.I: To recall our time tables quicker.
This we did an challenge on multiplication. There was a draw and we were put into a bracket. Whoever won there game advanced to the next round. For my first game of super fingers I won.
I won all of my games except for the semi finals, I lost by one letter. We needed one more bracket to compete so we chosen two wildcards called Micah and Vayan. For the finals the multiplication champion was Afatia.
I really enjoyed this multiplication Challenge and it was fun because it during every game it helped me recall my multiplication and little bit faster every time.
This week we did an activity called Birds and Matariki.
We made a DLO and found three birds that were captured for Matariki, then we described each bird. In the DLO we also wrote how the bird was cooked. The three birds that were in our DLO were Kereru, Tui, and a Kaka.
I found out that a Tui was eaten for Matariki and there threats are predation and habitat loss.
I enjoyed this activity because we lots of different information about each bird.
This week for tech we are leaning about Osmosis and Transpiration. Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis -make food Plants Water can only move around a flower by xylem.
In the experiment we used Food coloring so we could see the movement in the plant.
I enjoyed it because this experiment was really interesting and I liked how I could the blue in the celery.
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 why Matariki disappears on May and reappears on June.
L.I: To edit our writing using DRAFT.
L.I: To write an abstract noun senses poem.
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.
L.I: To consider both perspectives.
We were tasked to read the story about Lake Taupo to understand if the story was fact or story makes sense by saying if the story is true or fake. We wrote our opinion to see that why we picked which side to see if it was right or wrong. We wrote that taupo says according to legend which means it happened but actually is true.
LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about.
LI: To identify the main ideas in the text.
First to start off the task we watched a video about how Maui slowed down the sun.After watching the video we wrote down the main ideas that happened in the video into this DLO. After finding the inportant Ideas from that we find the four very important ideas. One of the four very important ideas is that Using the flax for ropes slowed the sun. When you find the four very important ideas we found the three vital idean from the four very important ideas. I found this task fun because when you find main ideans from the text that means that you understand the text throughly.
LI: To find as many similarities and differences as you can between the video and text of “ The Beginning "
This week for reading we have been focusing on the differences of two types of ways a story can be said. This week we were finding differences and similarities from the video and text from "the Begining". This text was about our group finding things that are different and simaler bewtweeen the too. In the video verison it shows the seperation of mother earth and father sky, and in the written version it's explain the love for the two. I enjoyed this task because I got to see the differneces and similaritites bewtween two storys.
L.I: To summarise a text.
Summary:
The African Plains Safari teems with abundant wildlife. You choose where you will explore on your adventure for an unforgettable holiday in Botswana in Africa.
________________________________________________________________________________
For Reading (with Mrs Linda) we read a text called African Plains Safaris. African Plains Safaris is mainly about the wildlife in africa. The story takes place in botswana. The text talks about the places in africa. One of the places are Deception Valley. A fun fact about deception valley is that 200 different species of birds populate deception Valley.
We found this activity interesting because we got to explore more information about the africa. The most interesting fact we found was that there is a hotel in deception valley. Another interesting fact we found was that there is places you can relax like at the hotel after you finish.
Where will you go to at the African Plains Safari?
Lake Ngami Deception Valley Passarge
Central Kalahari Deception Pan Piper’s Pan
Game Preserve Leopard Pan

For this task we created a DLO about our shoes narrative we wrote about.
We started by planning our narrative. After that we created the narrative and the title of our narrative was Rusty Souls.
I enjoyed this activity because it didn't take us long to finish the task, we just copy and pasted our narrativ we created before and put it on a DLO.
L.I: To check which objects would float or sink.
For science we did experiments on floating and sinking. First we talked about floating, sinking and semi-float. After doing writing down all the information we know about floating and sinking we started the experiments.
We checked the size, weight, composition, and made a prediction. For the first experiment nearly all the objects sunk and for the second experiment some of it floated and semi floated.
I enjoyed this experiment because I enjoyed the part where we checked if it would float or sink.
LI: to use the five senses and personifications to help us paint a picture with words.
LI: To devise a writing plan.
LI: To use the ideas on your plan to write a Narrative.
For writing we created a narrative about shoes with the five senses and using personification.
The five senses are:
Sound
Sight
Touch
Feel
Taste
Personification is when you give human characteristics to something non human.
First we made a copy of a the framework of the narrative and answered the questions:
How did they get there?
WHat happened along the way?
How did they feel
How did they see
How did they hear
How did they smell
How did they touch
After answering the questions, we moved on creating the narrative by using the plan and ideas we have written on the framework DLO.
I enjoyed this writing activity because we created an interesting narrative and enjoyed the narrative

L.I: To find information about simple machines.
For inquiry we were learning about simple machine.We collaborated in our group to find information about simple machines, there are six types of simple machines. Our challenge was to create diagrams (information picture) to show our diagram, we alo summarised it in 25 words..Simple machines are able to help humans in ways that they, themselves may not be able to. A lever is a simple machine used to lift objects with less amount of force. A lever is a stick that’s able to move backwards and forwards.

A wedge is one of the six simple machines. A wedge is also known as an axe. A wedge is also used to stop doors from closing and is able to break things if a lot of force is pushed into the wedge.
L.I:To find information about simple machines.
For inquiry we are working on simple machines. We created six DLO's about the six simple machines. This DLO is about a simple machine called the Inclined plane, an inclined plane is An inclined plane is one of the simplest machines.It’s also known as a ramp. A ramp helps your load move easier to higher levels. We created our own drawing of what we see a pulley as.
This Labeled Diagram was fun to work on because we got to learn what the inclined plane is used for.

A pulley is a type of simple machine that helps lift an object with less effort used. If more pulleys are used the less effort is used. We created our own drawing of what we see a pulley as.
L.I: To understand how to use and correctly punctuate dialogue when writing.
For writing we were we did dialogue. We picked a sitaution and created a conversation. The situation I picked to create my conversation was when the wolf was furious that he couldn't bust the brick house.
After creating a conversation we created a DLO on what is dialogue, and where the punctuation go.
Dialogue is a conversation between two people or more.
I enjoyed this activity because when writing the dialogue we got to use this interesting website called Ifaketext messages.
For science out topic was about trying out laboratory equipment. we did. Also for science we did two experiments.
We poured 200mls of cold water into the breaker and checked the temperature, then we scooped 10g of sugar into a petri dish. After doing this we poured the sugar into the breaker and timed it to see how long is dissolved. For the second experiment we did the same thing but instead we used hot water.
The time for the first experiment was 1 minute and 3 seconds. The time for the second experiment was 15 seconds. The hot water dissolved it quicker because it's hot and it would the melt the sugar.
I enjoyed this activity because we got to do two experiments.
For Science we learned about different science equipment.
Some of the science equipment were a pipette, spatula, bunsen burner and other more.
We created a Google doc and have all the pictures of those equipments.
I enjoyed this activity because the experiment was fun.

Summary:
For reading we looked over a book called Do the Robot. The robot is a type of dance that was first introduced in 1980’s. All your movements should be jerky, with no fluid movements at all.. When moving around at one point you need to freeze in position and be rigid.
Facts we found interesting were that a strong and clear beat is require. How you can put all the moves together to make the dance and you don’t show emotion when doing the dance. Lastt interesting fact was that you experiment with telling a story in your dance. E.g: Is your robot cooking a cake, walking a dog, or having a shower.
We found this activity fun because we attempted doing the robot dance. By reading the steps in the text we looked like good robot dancers.

Summary:
Invertebrates are animals with no backbone. They vary in size, shape and color. 95 to 99 percent of all animals species on Earth are invertebrates.
__________________________________________________________________________________
For reading (with Mrs Linda) we read the text of Incredible Invertebrates. Invertebrates are animals that have no back bones. Each Invertebrate has different groups. The six main groups are:
Molluscs
Arachnids
Insects
Crustaceans
Myriapods
Annelids
Facts that we found interesting were that Myriapods can grow upto 750 legs. Also earthworms make the better for growing. Lastly fleas are also called minibeasts because their small and they bite several times and cause itchiness. We found this activity interesting and fun because we learnt more facts about invertebrates.
L.I: To create a information brochure about belonging to PBS.
In the information brochure we talked different things we do at Panmure Bridge school. E.g: At Panmure Bridge School we respect all cultures and we a two cultural group Kapa Haka and Pasifica. Our schools motto is to strive to achieve.
There is lots more information there to read about belonging to PBS and PBS is a cool school to be at.
