Book Week

 L.I: To celebrate reading.

Panmure Bridge School had been celebrating book week this week. Everybody was encouraged to wear a costume or outfit of a book character of their choice. It was also samoan language week, our assembly was presented in english and samoan. It was great too see the many students and juniors who participated in book week and wore an outfit. I love how creative some people were! We also had Mr Goodin and Mrs White tell us their favorite stories. Some people also wore traditional samoan clothes as it is Samoan Language Week - Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa. 

I personally loved book week, the children of the junior school had been given the opportunity to showcase their favorite characters. 

Student Led Conferences

 L.I: To share our learning with our families.

Last night, LS2 did their Student Conferences. I brought my mum into my class room and I showed her my work from this term and last term. I made a learning journey witch had a link to a peace of work from my Reading, Writing, Inquiry, Maths, Blog and the LS2 Site. My mum was proud to look at what I've been learning in LS2. I enjoyed telling my mum what I've been doing in class because its important for my mum to know if I've been doing the right thing or not and it's important to let my mum know that I'm a good student when I focus on my work.

Being a Jedi in Coding

L.I: To code the robot to move backwards without touching it - to be a jedi

 

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.

Attitude CARE Award | Activity 3

 L.I: Research someone who has a positive attitude despite difficulties they have faced.

For today's CARE Award activity 3 I dicided to do a "Research someone who has a positive attitude despite difficulties they have faced". For this activity I chose to write about Mike Tyson because he's one of my favourite boxers. In 1992 Mike Tyson went to jail for rapist now he's back in the game and ready to box. If you want to learn more about Mike Tyson just read my DLO that I have made. I enjoyed this task because I work collaborativly with one of my class mates and we learnt different facts about Mike Tyson.

Samoan Language Week

 L.I: To pay it forward by creating a screencastify that teaches others how to use Samoan words and phrases.

This week is Samoan Language Week - Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa. The theme for 2021 is Poupou le lotoifale. Ola manuia le anofale which means strengthen the posts of your house, for all to thrive. In LS2 we have decided to value the measina of the language by creating a screencastify that teaches others how to use Samoan words and phrases. My partner and I chose to pay it forward by showing others how to say Hello and Goodbye in Samoan. I found this challenge challenging because some of the words were hard for me to pronounce.

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 taht 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 found some interesting words that describe my Sports Star.

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 Comic books like Amulet because they are interesting and it helps me have fun while I read.
