Quizzez

This is a screenshot of Quizzez. This is an educational game where anyone can participate. Our whole class has a couple of games of quizzez as a warm up, this makes everyone exciting and everybody looks forward to maths time. Today when we played, Zeba and I decided to partner up and we came first place. We played four games of quizzez, three games of times tables and 1 of basic facts.

Quick Writes

I have worked collaboratively with my partner, Zeba to create a 6 sentence story using a picture prompt. We wrote a 6 sentences story based on pictures that we chose. I found this task very interesting and a creative way of writing narratives since next term we have our narrative essays.

Quizizz

This week, we have been playing an online quiz on a site called Quizizz. This helps us practice, our multiplication and basic facts. We worked with a partner and answered all the equations together. I worked with Zeba and we found the quiz a bit easy. We came 1st out of the class in 2 games and played  4 games altogether. 

Panmure Library - Meeting Stig

On Friday, seniors from Panmure Bridge School went down to the Panmure Library to meet Stig Wemyss who is an audio book narrator/voice artist. He is the voice of the Andy Griffith books. He hooked us in with his humor and the special prizes for people who took part in his quizzes. 

Word Cline - Angry

This is a word Cline, I have created based on the word: Angry. I have listed 5 synonyms for 'Angry' from least interesting to very interesting. 

Ancient & Modern Olympics Comparison

For the past 2 weeks, I have been in Mrs.Naickers group learning about the Ancient and Modern Olympics. This is one of the tasks I have created with my partner, Zahra. We have listed facts about both the Ancient Olympics and the Modern Olympics. And also facts about both of them that are the same.

Stan Walker - The Climb

This is a collaborative DLO created by Nesi and I. It is one of our  Care Awards. We have researched Stan Walker's song 'The Climb' and wrote down what the meaning is, how Stan Walker became a singer and some extra facts about him. 

NZ Respected Leader

This is a collaborative DLO that I have created with Nesi. It is part of my Care Awards. I have created the DLO to explain why we think Richie MCcaw is a Respected Leader in New Zealand. We have also added extra and interesting facts about him. 

Duffy Role Model Assembly

Today, we had our Duffy Role Model Assembly. Henry Tuipe'a who was our Role Model had a very inspirational message to the school. Everyone was given Duffy books which was kindly sponsored by Mainfrieght. 

CARE Award - Life at PBS

This is my collage displaying life at PBS. I included pictures that are memorable to me and to the school.  Pictures that show trips we have been to, sports we have played, technology at Tamaki College and some artworks. This is my RESPECT task for my CARE Award. 

Keeping Cybersafe

As part of my CARE award, I had to create a DLO on how to keep cybersafe. I have listed the steps in detail to help my audience understand my point. 

Cross Country

Yesterday, PBS went down to Dunkirk to have the Cross Country Races. For the past few weeks, we have been training to help us build endurance and keep the pace of our running. We learn't to control our breathing; breathe in from our mouths and breathe out from our noses. I ran four laps around the field in my year group. 

My Personal Passion

 

 This is a task for my CARE Award. I had to create a DLO showing my interest in my Personal Passion. Which is netball, I have also added a picture to show what netball looks like.

Maths

For Maths today, my group played a game called 'Hit the Button.' This helped us answer our division facts quickly. We then were learning to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of decimals. Miss Naicker set up 10 word problems for my group to work out individually. At first, I found the equations a bit tricky, but later on I was getting better and better at it and I can now understand it easily. 

Read Theory

This term, we have been reading passages on a site called 'Read Theory' everyday for 20 minutes. On your first passage, you are tested on how well you understand your text. You are then placed on a level of your results. You move onto a new level every time you answer all of your questions correctly. Each question has four options from you to choose from. We practice looking back at the text to find information that links to our questions. So far, I think this site is really helpful, because I have improved from my pretest. 

Cross Country Training

For the past few weeks, both LS2 and LS1 have been training for Athletics every Monday to Wednesday. We train to help us build endurance and keep the pace of our running. We add an extra lap around the school every week. 

Sketchnoting

This week for Writing, we have been learning about sketch notes. We have sketch noted so far on 3 topics; Questions, Rio and what happens in an Olympic ceremony. The image above shows my sketch notes. The left sketch note is based on Rio. The sketch note on the right explains what happens in a Olympic medal ceremony. My sketch notes both include, drawings, facts and also different types of fonts to make my titles stand out. Sketch notes do not have to be neat and are only for you to understand. 

Main Idea

This is a DLO that I have created that explains the main idea of the book I have read. I have included 3 different reasons why I think my main is correct and included evidence to support my reasons.
