M&M Question Slide

Last week Mr Johnston was our teacher, since Mrs Anderson and Ms Kirkpatrick was at a teacher conference in America. Mr Johnston created tasks that helped us work collaboratively in our groups that we were put in. Today for maths I worked collaboratively with Jack, Fraidon, Junior, and Jay- Don. The task was to create a presentation including our personal thoughts about M&M's, 2 different graphs, history of M&M's, interesting facts about M&M's, and our answer to the mars company statement. The point of the personal thoughts part was to tell others the most common colour we thought would be the best and the amount of M&M's that will be inside a M&M packet. The person who got the closest answer to the correct answer was Junior. In total there were 55 M&M's in the packet, but Junior thoguh that there would be 50 in the packet. The fun part about this was when we got a chance to eat the M&M's. Everyone in my group got 11 M&M's each. I preferred blue as my colour because for me it's such an appealing colour to my eye when I look at it.  Yesterday some groups started presenting there DLO's to the class. Today my group presented our collaborative DLO to the whole class. Did you know that 2 billion M&M's are produced every 8 hours. Did you also notice that peanut M&M's came out in 1954. 

The Inchacape Rock

This week our teacher was Mr Johnston, since Mrs Anderson and Ms Kirkpartrick went of to Chicago for a teacher conference. This week for reading Mr Johnston created tasks that will help us work collaboratively in groups of 5. We learnt all about what a ballad poem is and what is included in a ballad poem. A ballad poem is a poem that tells a long story. To complete this task I created a google draw showing the verse that I chose to write about from the ballad poem. Everyone were to read out there verses one at a time in front of the class. To make my google draw better I decided to add a image and the meaning of the verse and words.

Today for reading we have been completing challenges that hep us work collaboratively in groups. Today for our reading task we have been learning information about M&M'S. Collaboratively means talking and communicating with others so that they understand that you have ideas to share to our challenges. Today for our M&M tasks we worked in a group to find out a lot of information about M&M's like who invented M&M'S. 2 facts that I found interesting was that peanut M&M's were invented in 1954 and over 400 million M&M's are made every day.

Each and everyone did there workouts for 30 seconds. Once 30 seconds is over we swap around with our partner, while we have a rest for 30 seconds. Today at HIIT we did 3 sets of pull ups, push ups and squats. Everyone managed to try there hardest to get there heart rates to the colour red. I liked the way my partner was supporting me when I was doing my workouts. The point of HIIT is to get pau te hau. Pau te hau means get puffed. On my last set I managed to make it the best set of all. I think that I was better than I did before.

Care stands for confidence, attitude, respect, and excellence and innovation. Every time we come to school we use our school values when we are sharing our learning to others. Being an accountability person is being trustworthy in everything you do. Honesty means owning up to your mistakes. Kiwi Can is here to teach us about key values in our life. The 3 games we played was based on the value accountability. They were called 2 truths and 1 lie, copy me and GKQ. In the game copy me the goal was to see which group had the most playing cards. To play this game each group copied the card number action that was on the board. So if the fortnite dance was number 7 and the card we chose was number 7 we were to the fornite dance. Next we played 2 truths, 1 lie. In this game there was 1 person that gave all of us 2 truths and 1 lie. Everyone was to try and find out the 1 lie. At Panmure Bridge School we show accountability by making sure that our chrome book is fully charged for the day and managing ourselves at tech and at school.
