HIIT

Yesterday was another session of HIIT with Mr Ogilvie. HIIT is a acronym for high intensity interval training. Yesterday we did HIIT training for 15 minutes. We managed to do 4 sets of squats, star jumps fast, tap steps, and high knee sprint. Everyone managed to increase there heart rates to the colour. The resting part made some of our heart rates go down to 80% and 70%. To make it better we did our exercises in our 5 lines. To know if we were doing great we kept on looking at our heart rate results. Everyone also managed to keep in time with Mr Ogilvie's speed. I liked it how I saw everyone getting pau te hau ( puffed), because it shows others that they've been working hard.

Careers

Today for inquiry we worked on careers. The 2 differences between a career and a job is that a career is something that you work for living like for example: Midwife, Policemen, Nurse, and more. A job is something that you start once you are in secondary school or teenager adult like for example: Countdown, Pak'nsave, New World, and more. To start off everyone completed a careers quest that was full of 87 questions. These questions was needed to be answered either no interest, neutral, fairly interested, and very interested. This quest helped us lead to the right career we might of liked when we leave secondary school. When I finished my career quest my results were 100 careers to choose from. I was more interesting in biology and health questions. I chose to be a Midwife because my mum is a midwife and I know all about what Midwives do in order to take care of the baby and mother. 

HIIT

Today was our second session of HIIT. HIIT stands for high intensity interval training. HIIT is when we do training different types of exercises 15 minutes. Today at HIIT we did 3 sets of star jumps, tap step, and high knees. Everyone managed to increase there heart rates to the colour red. When we were doing our exercises everyone managed to get puffed - pau te hau. This week we made it better by getting into 5 lines and doing our exercises altogether at the same time. It sounded better because everyone was encouraging each other. This was one of my best HIIT sessions because the lines we got into made me get more space to do the star jumps and tap steps. I just want to say a huge thank you to Mataio and Tiava for leading all the exercises for us. 

Who wants to be a Mathionaire? - Maths Multiplication Quiz

This week for maths we have been learning how to use the algorithm grid to solve our addition maths problems. I got 2 attempts and one of them was me being a million. To be a mathionaire you need to get all of your maths questions right. At the begging the question are very simple, but once you start increasing higher it will start to get complicated. There were 4 options to choose from which were: A, B, C, or D. This game helps us improve in our multiplication skills. 

Algorithm Strategy

This week for maths we have been learning how to use a algorithm strategy to figure out 3 digits addition problems. The first box shows you my number story, the other box shows you what I will be teaching you and the last box shows you how I solved the maths problem out. I created this google drawing to show you how to solve a addition problem using the algorithm strategy. We also used the HTO column to help us remember how to use the algorithm strategy. I decided to work out 368 + 446. 

My Rugby Match

Today was our 4th to last game until our rugby season ends. Today my team ( Under 13 girls) played against Manurewa Marlins at Leabank park. Half of my team were at Fiji for a netball tournament with my coach, which meant that there were only 8 of us playing on the field. In a actual game for our team there is suppose be 10 players a side playing. Today it turned out to be 8 of us playing this meant that everyone in our team couldn't sub off and on. Everyone in my team managed to play for 80 whole minutes, even though the other team had 10 players on. Our supporters were cheering really loud. On the first half  our team managed to score 4 tries and the other team managed to score 3 tries. Even though we were winning we still needed to work on the defense so that the other team could stop scoring more tries. On the last half our team managed to score 3 more tries. I was lucky enough to get one of the tries in the last half. Our supporters were really happy that we were winning, even though we had less players than the other team. The props were really tired so I decided to go in and do some tackling and big hits. There was only 1 more minute,until our game had ended. My team managed to use that minute really good and scored one more try. As the ref blew the whistle for full time all of our supporters started running onto the field and started hugging us with excitement. Our supporters were really proud of the hard work we did, even though we had 8 players. This match was to see who placed 1st. Finally it came to the awarding part.The point of this part was to award money to the top 3 who done really well in this match. I managed to get player of the day including $20. My parents, team, and manager were really proud of me.

Stormy Lighthouse Story

Today we did another challenge with Mr Johnston. This challenge was set yesterday but was worked on today. To complete this task we were to go on a website called That Lighthouse Photo and read a story about a huge storm that smashed a lighthouse in the Northwestern coast of France, near Brittany. In my DLO I added a image of the lighthouse, summary about the story, and interesting facts about the story. There was also a video on the website that I watched. I was really surprised that no one got injured and the lighthouse wasn't smashed down. 

Pro's and Con's

 

Today we did another collaborative challenge in our lighthouse groups. The challenge was to note down the positive and negatives of you living in a lighthouse in the sea. Each person from each group presented there notes to the whole class as Mr Johnston wrote them down on the board. One of the con things that my group discussed together was that if you were living in a lighthouse on a ocean and you ran out of toilet paper what would happen. One of the pro things that my group discussed together was everyday being a holiday because there was no school, work, or meetings. Above shows you the DLO that my group created together about the Pros and Cons of living in a lighthouse. 

Chicago Sports Teams

This week Mrs Anderson arrived from her trip and it sounded like fun. Since she went to Chicago we were to create a DLO about the main Chicago sport teams. The main teams we were creating a DLO about were: Chicago Bulls ( Basketball), Chicago Cubs ( Baseball), Chicago Bears ( American Football), Chicago Blackhawks ( Ice Hokey), and White Sox ( Baseball). The DLO we have created includes 3 interesting facts, uniform kit, home ground, and a logo of there sport team. 

ASB Getwise

Today we were lucky enough to get a visit from Jayden ( ASB Getwise Worker) who teached us different types of information about how to save our money. First we tried a test with our hands. This test was to see if we were good with our money or bad with our money. Some people got different answers to the test. At the end we all told Jayden if the test was either false or true. We found out that the test was false because how can we know that we are good or bad with our money. To end this visit with fun we played a activity. In this activity we were not allowed to go over the budget price. Budget means the money that is available for us to use. We were all in groups to make this activity work. Our budget was 18,00 and we included: passport, flights, accommodation, insurance, food, shopping, and activities. The main thing of this game was to teach us about our budget plan that will help us save up for something big like a play station 4. Our group managed to choose some good choices but at the end our group was out because we did not buy our insurance which made us loose all of our cash. 

Lighthouse for Sale Advertisement

This week in LS2 we have been learning different types of history about lighthouses in New Zealand. Last week we have been creating advertisements about lighthouse for sale. To complete this DLO I had to go online and find a lighthouse that was for sale. The lighthouse I chose to advertise about was Burnham High Lighthouse in the United Kingdom. In my advertisement I included a image of the lighthouse. I found this lighthouse on a website that was full of lighthouses that were for sale in the United Kingdom. I decided to choose this lighthouse because I loved the layout the inside of it and, even the furniture that was provided. 

Matariki Ceremony

Today Panmure Bridge School decided to come altogether and do a Matariki ceremony. We celebrated this Matariki ceremony by sharing items, performances, and food. First we sang a waiata with The first performance was from the senior kapa haka. They performed 4 items and one of them were with the wooden sticks. The next performance were the drummers. The drummers did a wonderful work even though they only started practising it today. After that the junior kapa haka group performed 2 items. One of there performances were about the Matariki sisters. Next we had another performance from the ukulele group. They played the song called lean on me. They did really well even though it was only 3 of them performing. The last performance was from the Pacifica group. The girls looked really good in there lava lava's. They were learning how to do the swing side to side. At the end of all the performances Whae Odie prayed. To finish the celebration everyone received 2 sausages each. Did you know that the main thing about this ceremony is to hope that the Gods will give us great hope for the next harvest season. I just want to say a huge thank you to Whae Odie for bringing us together to this wonderful Matariki celebration. 

Matariki

LI: To understand the meaning of Matariki.

Today my group worked collaboratively to create a google presentation about the understanding we have of Matariki. We communicated and shared ideas while doing our work. First we watched a video about Matariki and then we were to set a 3 minute timer and note as many facts as we could about Matariki in 3 minutes. My group managed to write 6 interesting facts about Matariki. We all used our smart searching skills to find interesting information about Matariki. Using our smart researching skills helped us a lot. 

HIIT

On Monday we had another HIIT session with Mr Ogilvie. HIIT stands for high intensity interval training. HIIT helps us improve in our exercise skills. HIIT is when we do different types of workouts for 15 minutes. Everyone got 30 seconds of exercise and 10 seconds of rest. This week we changed our rotation. This rotation was all about our speed. This week our new rotation were mountain climbers, high knees, fast star jumps, and split squat kick. This time we managed to do 4 sets. Everyone managed to try hard and make there heart rate pump to the color red. 

Maths Kahoot

Today for maths everyone decided to create a different kahoots game for everyone. Kahoot is a video game that can be played with lots of people. You need to create a kahoot with questions so that others can answer them. You invite them by giving them the number code for your game. Today each group created kahoots collaboratively based on different type of maths questions. Today everyone got to try other peoples kahoots that they created. At the end of the game there is a leader board showing the people who placed either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Today Mrs Anderson decided to make it more better by keeping track of the group that got most ticks for each kahoot game that we played. The group that gets the most ticks gets to have digital development time.
