Topic 2 (Science)

 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.

Do The Robot

L.I: To summarise a text

Summary:

The robot is a type of dance that requires jerky movements and music with strong beats. It was invented and became popular in the 1980’s.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

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.

I enjoyed this activity because I found lots of interesting information.

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.

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.

My works links to respect. Respect is taking care of the enviroment and being kind to others.

Cinquain Poem

L.I: To write a cinquain poem to describe a sports star.

We have been learning to write cinquain poems to help us strengthen our connections to description. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives that describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun. I enjoyed this activity because I got to describe one of my favourite rugby players and found out new words like competent.

My Reading Pathway

 L.I: To show my personal journey through books.

This week is book week at Panmure Bridge School, which means every class participates in a number of reading activities. One of our activities was to create a reading pathway that shows how my favourite books have changed over time. At the moment I like reading sports books because I really enjoy sports and I love reading interesting facts about other people and the sport.
