Athletics Day


When we got back from Tech, we immediately went to have our morning tea and After morning tea we were split into our color groups, we went into our first activity. In my group there was Tai, San Kyaw, Savelina, Magenta and Neveah. In our first activity we were throw a Frisbee into a basket ball hoop. The after that activity was, rob the nest the next was long jump. Long jump was pretty easy for me, but I managed to jump the furthest in my group, and Jack jumped the furthest, making our team come first for this activity. After long jump, we did a challenge where we have to hop our way to a basket using a sack and take a sponge and dodge though obstacles and dip the sponge in a bucket and take the sponge back and squeeze the sponge into our bucket. The team with the most water in their bucket wins that activity. After this we did an activity where we have to throw a ball, using the shot put technique. After shot put, we played ring toss and the first cone was 1 point and second 2 and the last was 5 points . But in for this we used hula hoops. Our second to last activity was surf live savers, and our last activity was egg and spoon.

Armistice Commemoration



Today Panmure Bridge held a commemoration for Armistice Day since it is on Sunday. Armistice day which is every year on November the 11th to mark and remember the sign between the Allies of World War 1 and when the gun fell silent. We celebrate this to remember those who fought for their country during World War 1. We were lucky to have a member from the NZ Defense Force. During this commemoration sang the pray at the start of the commemoration, Tiava and Jeremiah (head boy and head girl) read the oath, and Ms Kirkpatrick (deputy principal) read the poem about the Flanders Field. During the commemoration we were silent for a minute to remember the soldiers who died during World War 1.

Armistice collage

For reading we were learning about the Battle of the Somme that occurred on July 1st 1916. We first read a text explaining what happened during the war and a few facts about it. We read the text and answered the questions. We answered the questions about the war and got to write our own opinion about what we thought about the war. We have learnt that war shrines were like memorials made to remember the fallen soldiers.

How have camels adapted to their environment?

Did you ever wonder how camels adapt to their environment? Did you know that camels can drink up to 46 liters of water which is 46 of 1 liter coke bottles. The camels also has some special features they have webbed feet so the hot sand doesn't affect them.

The camel's environment is very hot and and the water is scarce which means there is not a lot of it so the camel has to go searching for cactus. The desert is usually 42 degrees hot. The camels lips a very useful because they are doubled.

These animals have double lips that helps them break open and eat thorns and cactus and others. The thorns and cactus do not hurt them because the camels lips have two layers. The camels eyelashes a very important because it prevents it from getting blind.

The camels have two eyelashes so the sand and dust does not get blown into there eyes while they are walking. The camels nostril can open and close the reason why it dose that is so the sand doesn't fly in.

Camels can go as long as a six or seven months  without drinking water, the camels webbed feet and pads is a major thing they have because if they didn’t have that webbed feet and pads their feet would burn and would not be able to walk over the terrain.

This Week for writing we write an explanation about Camels and how they adapt to
their environment. Before we started our writing we watch 3 video clips, we also got
our books because we needed it for our planning. I enjoyed writing this week because
I learnt about Camels and how they adapt to their environment.

Today Panmure Bridge was lucky to be funded by Vector Wero Whitewater Park, but we were to give in $5 each to be part of this activity. There were only year 7 & 8 who had the chance to do a rafting course which was pretty amazing. Before doing anything we were to watch a safety video explaining what we need for the course and how to help someone who's in danger in the water.After that we all put on all our swim suits, helmet, life jacket, and a jacket. We also received a paddle. Soon, we got into group of 6 and each group had an instructor. In my group I had Mataio, Joseph, San Kyaw, Ofa, Freeman and Tim was our instructor, and I. Tim did a little talk about how to stay safe in the water and answered some of our questions. Then it was time for the ultimate rafting course.

VR (Virtual Reality) Experience


Today we worked with Yvonne and her research team they are from the Augmented Human Lab at Auckland University. They came to our school to teach us about Virtual Reality. There are 2 different groups, one group used the VR cardboard that is interactive and the other used the Magic Window with the I pads, I used the VR cardboard. Virtual Reality is a really fun 3D device you can use, you can do all sorts of things using it like activity's and play lots of different games. The first learning challenge using the virtual reality was building the Panmure Bridge it was very fun because we got to interact with the items and it would also show and tell you how they built it and where it got shipped from. The second thing we did with the virtual reality was deliver mail to the Jones family using the punt. Once we did that we time traveled into 1966 when the Panmure Bridge was built we got to walk across it, after that we gave another letter to the family.

Decimal Maths

This DLO shows how you can solve decimal equations, using the decimal method this was really easy to use because it is just like adding and subtracting. I have really enjoyed learning this new strategy in maths. I hope we could do it again

Algorithms Maths






Today we have been learning about algorithm maths. Algorithm maths is a strategy you can use to solve maths problems. We have created a digital learning object on what a algorithm is. Algorithms can be used for solving hard problems. Algorithm is quite easy to use when you are not sure what to solve, The HTO  stands for Hundreds, Tens and Ones. We have learnt a lot about algorithms and how it will help effect our learning. 

VR experience experiment

Today in maths Mrs Anderson has created a VR (Virtual Reality) using cardboard and her phone this is a very fun item to use in your own time and in your learning time. Dallas, Aungnaing and I participated in this experiment to see if it would work in our class as a learning tool for the students. This was a very fun experience I really hope this could be a learning tool in our class.

Pro's and Con's


Today for Inquiry we wrote some Pro's and Con's about living in a Lighthouse. We made a DLO about what is Pro's and Con's living in a Lighthouse. There are so many Con's than Pro's because living in a lighthouse is hard and You are always lonely if your not with your family. It is hard because there's no school, only home studies. The Fresh water is limited, because there is no source of fresh water. The pro's is also good, you can go fishing anytime you want and it is peace and quiet.
