LI: To know what classroom expectations are.
For PB4L we have been talking about what LS2’s expectations were in our classroom. Expectations are set in schools because they help students prepare themselves for their learning.Today we talked about what LS2 expectations are and what we can do to to make sure we know what our expectations are. In LS2, since we are the older kids in the school it is very important to have expectations because the juniors will know what expectations
LI: To find the important information in a current event.

This week for Reading we learnt about author's purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:
What is the article about?
When the article was created?
Where was the article was made?
Why the author wrote the article?
How it was made?
Why do you think the author wanted you to learn from the article?
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 ive learnt diffent words to match the person move or type.
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 because it really intresting by reading books that are fun to read and to explore.
Today i completed an activity for my silver cofidence badge. The activity I chosed was how to stick up to bulies & how to be cyber safe. We made a DLO of how to stick up to bulies so that people can know if someone bulies them they know what to do. I tried this activity because it can help alot of people who get bulied so that they can be safe with out being harmed.
For Mrs Fisi’iahi’s Inquiry lesson, we were focusing on the three last technological processes. They were: build, test and evaluate. We used the required materials in order to build the AUV rover. After this, we tested and compared each group’s rover to see which group was able to scramble across the floor the furthest. Evaluating our results was the last step.
I found this activity intresting because we've used our knowledge & Strength on how to make a rover with matrials.
we have been learning about technological practice. This week we have been learning about the 6 processes of Technological Design and how each one is important in the process of designing a product.We are using the processes of technological practices to design and build a rubber band- powered rover that can scramble across the floor. I found this activty intresting because we get tolearn more about making stuffs.
