Manaiaklani Film Festival

Every year a Manaiakalani Film Festival is being held. This year Manaiakalni schools are proud to represent he 12th annual Manaiakalani Film Festival. There were thirteen schools who took part in this years Manaiakalani Festival. Everyone enjoyed watching all the digital schools, create their own movies that happen around their learning enviorment. Panmure Bridge School took intersting ads and remade them, using the Learn, Create and Share theme. The ad that our class created was exactly like the snickers ad, but using our school fruit and milk. My favourite movie so far would be, the "I am respect" film from Tamaki College, because it gave a reminder of why showing respect is important, especially the positivity behind it's meaning.

Kiwi sport - Tennis

This week for kiwi sport LS2 completed another session of Tennis, with Peter. Today we learnt how to do the "volley". Volley is when a ball is hit, before it bounces on the ground. A player would usually hit a volley when they are standing near the net. Today we used, volley in many of our plays. Above I have compared my style to a tennis player, by drawing lines to show how well I stood compared to a good tennis player. As you can see my arm is down, while her arm is going up. 

Financial Literacy

This week for maths our focus is to understand profit equals income minus expenditure. A profit is the money you earn, by making something and selling it. The purpose of this game was to make an amount of money. We, also used some great vocabulary like: spend, save budget discount and many more. The outcome of my balance turned out to be a loss of - $51.00 . The best part was being able to be left on the space " SALE ", because we then used a lettered dice, which gave us the opportunity of selling a specific item. In total I was left with 9 juggling balls, 4 hacky sacks and 5 bunjy balls.  

Tips to staying safe during Guy Fawkes

This week since Guy Fawkes is taking place soon, the seniors created simple and creative DLO's about Guy Fawkes. We did this to explain some clear and understanding safety tips about guy fawkes to our juniors. We made it look interesting, by using free icons and clear words.  

Guy Fawkes - 1605

Since, Guy Fawkes is taking place soon, LS2 has been creating a number of different DLO's about the reason behind why we celebrate and who he really is. Marieta and I worked collaboratively together to find out who Guy Fawkes was and why he was an important member of the group. To add on we, also included information about his personal biography and interesting facts about his crime. Did you know that , St Peters in York does not celebrate this event ?

Tech

Today was another session of tech. Our tech teacher was Mr Grundy. For tech most of us continued to use the backsaw to cut a piece off the wood. Today I managed to use both the chisel and sandpaper for the 2 pieces of my wood. Some people were using the benchook, mallet and chisel to cut a piece off their piece off the wood. As usual we added our names to the board for help from Mr Grundy. Next week I will continue sandpapering, until the lines are removed.
