Tyson @ Panmure Bridge School

  LI: To define the terms and understand the properties of 2D shapes.     Our challenge today was to find the definitions of a 2D shape then draw the shape. I chose to use the shapes tool because it gave us more of a challenge rather than just drawing it. I found this really interesting and fun because I got to learn new words relating to Geometry, and 2D shapes while being able to collaborate with my friends.

This week for Maths lockdown learning we are learning about geometry. Geometry is a branch of maths which focuses on measuring and comparing shapes. For this task we defined different geometry terms and showed an example of them for example circumference which is the perimeter of a circle.

 LI: . To write a list poem that describes a topic by painting a picture of opposites with your words For Writing we had Mrs Sheena show us and teach us a new poem. This poem related to lock-down talking about the pros and cons of lock-down. We were able to do talk about what we missed and what we didn't miss during lock-down, this helped us express our feelings and emotions about lock-down through the poem. It was fun and interesting learning a new poem, as we were able to add different language features and do this with our friends. 

LI:  to find the most efficient strategy   For Maths we were learning about how to locate and identify errors, then how to fix the problem. It was really fun doing, and I was able to show my strategy. It was especially fun doing, being able to work with my friends. The questions we had were multiplication, addition, and BEDMAS. BEDMAS stands for Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. 

 LI: To understand the main idea of the text   Today we read a story called Fred’s decision, this story is about Fed who buys a new car and needs to looks after it. In order to do that red bus two geese to alert him if anyone tries to trespass and try to steal his car. Fred chose geese because they used to alert roman soldiers when the enemy had come to attack them. For the create activity we created a DLO that has a labeled diagram of a goose and tells you five facts about the animal.

LI: Find the most efficient strategy for math questions  As a group we worked on papers to write our thoughts more clearly. Our strategy was to add the first 3 numbers (657, 493, 1183) and get an answer of 2333, we then subtracted that number from 6000 to get our final answer of 3667. We then created a DLO of our understanding.

L.I to write a list poem   For lock-down writing this week we wrote a list poem. A list poem is where you list a bunch of different things about your topic. The poem uses repetition in the sentences in between the first and last sentences. It also does not have to rhyme so you can write anything related to your topic. A List poem is a fun way to write poems and I really enjoyed doing this activity because of that.

  L.I to use the most efficient strategy This week for online learning I worked with a group of four people to solve this question. We worked out that each person would shake hands with 53 other people since there are 54 people and you can’t shake hands with yourself. So we multiplied 53x54 to the answer which is 2862.

L I:To use the most efficient maths strategy For the first Maths lockdown challenge we figured out how many wall and roof pieces the world’s first 3D printed house has. What we did- we read the questions then we did 195 + 85 =  280  We did the rest of the questions as you can see above in the DLO. We worked cooperatively in groups to solve these questions and create a DLO of our findings.

 LI: T o extend our vocabulary with the letter Q For Reading we were learning about words starting with the Letter Q. We started off by reading a text talking about the origin of the Letter Q, and where it came from. Our task was to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) showcasing words we know starting with the Letter Q, and words we don’t know starting with Q.  It was really fun and interesting doing because we got to learn new vocabulary, and we were able to do this activity with our friends.   

  LI: To identify the different objects through Te Reo Maori For this weeks Maori task we were challenged to find the different amount of objects there were on an i spy sheet. The challenge was that all the objects names were in maori so we were to translate them and find out how many there are of that object. On the left of the DLO it corresponds with the list on the right. Porohita  13 and so on.

  LI: to learn safety in water. Last week and this week the Y8 group went to the YMCA pools in Panmure to learn safety skills in the water. We were split into 2 groups depending on how confident we are in water. To get into the pool safely we put both hands on one side and entered.

      This week, LS2 has been learning about the Ancient Olympics that happened in the past, LS2 also showed their DLO's to the class to helps others understand the different facts and information that we used to build our DLO. Our group also created an screencastify to show the classroom as some of us were not feeling the best to speak in front of the classroom.  In my Inquiry Group Te-Raumati,Tyson, Moti and I worked collaboratively to share our ideas on what we should write down. We also used our searching skills to help us write down some interesting facts.  I really enjoyed doing this as I learnt a lot of new things about the Olympics that first started in 77bc. I also enjoyed and really liked putting images onto the DLO as it shows a lot more of detail about our learning.   Link to Screencastify  https://drive.google.com/file/ d/ 1D9UxgY1uXn107ksbbjGHoZ7HiKQUY 6r1/view   Link to DLO :  Anicent Olympics DLO  

 L.I: To create an DLO, understanding the four walls and what happens when their all standing. This DLO, is showing an understanding of the four walls, witch are Taha Tinana,Taha Whanau, Taha Wairua and Taha Hinereingo) If the four walls are standing it builds up your confidants and understands who you are when you set your goal and achieve it at the same time. The DLO was created in our inquiry group, We created this by sharing our ideas and collaborationist what we need to write, what are the meanings behind the four walls.

Winning isn’t  that important, winning yourself is what matters. A healthy mindset helps athletes to grow mentally and physically.  From losing comes winning, keeping calm in stressful situations motivation always helps. Happiness is the key to success if athletes stay happy and there time will come.    

 LI: To see and understand the connection between the written code, the block code and the flow chart. This is the comparison between the Python coding, the blocks and the flowchart for making the Microbit act like a dice.      

  What did you notice about your breathing? How did you feel at the end of the session? This week Panmure Bridge School is learning about Pause , Breathe and smile. We first started off by understanding the red zone and the green zone. The red zone is the Angry, Worried, Frustrated, Overly Excited and many more emotions. Green zone is when you are feeling calm, balanced, and other peaceful emotions. We did this session to learn how to stay calm and control our emotions. we did mindfulness breathing, we closed our eyes and Mrs Anderson rang the singing bowl. How did you feel at the end of the session?  How I felt at the end of the session is really calm, relaxed and focused on what's happening right now instead of worrying about what's happening last night, yesterday, and tomorrow.  It helped me focus on myself and control my emotions that's going through my head (Mindset). 

      This is a screencastify explaining what I did to     For Olympic challenge 3 there were 250 squares in a racket we had to find out how many right angles were in the racket. To find the answer to this question we would need to find the out how many angles there are in a square, it was 4, so our new equations was 250 x  4 which equaled to 1000.
