Today I have finished creating a collage displaying the amazing things people can do in the City of Sails (Auckland). I have put photos of the city and also points of interests. Auckland has a great variety of things to do such as: amusement parks, nature activities, or just things to do with friends. There are things for people to do who might not like something else they have seen. Auckland is a city of opportunity and also showcases the life of a New Zealander.</div>

Every country has made a contribution to the evolution of the world in many things and even New Zealand. To celebrate Kiwi ingenuity I have made a DLO explaining the contribution of the spring free trampoline. The idea of the spring free trampoline came from Dr Keith Vivian of the University of Cambridge. People believe it is a safer option for children to enjoy their time outside but even though it has not been proven. 15% of children that are admitted to hospital are there due to trampoline related incidents.</div>

This week we have been looking at the City of Sails. This DLO explains what the symbols of the New Zealand coat of arms mean. Everything on the shield represents a type of industry such as the sheep and the ships. I really enjoyed doing these activities as it really expand my knowledge of New Zealand and it also challenged me. The crown is my favourite part of the coat of arms as it represent the United Kingdom.</div>

Phil Goff has been the Mayor of Auckland since 2016 and is the second Mayor of Auckland 'Super City'. Phil Goff has had many up's and downs in his life as a public figure including losing to National by a huge gap but he has had an interesting life. On my digital learning object is a photo of Goff and also some interesting facts you may not know about him. For example, he held four ministerial positions including Minister of Defence. He was also offered a scholarship at the prestigious university of Oxford University, United Kingdom.</div>

This week we were asked to complete tasks that could be found on a matrix created by Ms Kirkpatrick. The activities all linked to our home the City of Sails (Auckland). For my first activity I decided to create a welcome sign that displays elements of Kiwiana and things that Auckland are famous for including the city. I used a Kiwi as the spokesperson of my sign as they are a symbol of New Zealand's wildlife. In the background you can see sail boats as a representation of Auckland. I really enjoyed kicking off this by creating a sign to welcome tourists of New Zealand. as I was able to bring my vision to life. </div>

Last week we have been focusing on the Victorian Era and how steampunk came to be. The Victorian Era was a time in history where Queen Victoria was the monarch of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth nations. Mrs Anderson asked us to complete a DLO based on something from the Victorian times. Alex and I were both intrigued about the monarch so we chose to find out more about Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria was really short but she was a very determined and strong woman. Victoria showed unconditional love for her husband and when he passed she went into mourning for the rest of her life. After that I created a DLO defining steampunk art. Steampunk art is a blend of modern techniques of art and metallic elements that could be found in Victorian factories. Everyone in our classroom have all attempted to draw a piece of steampunk art and they all look amazing. I drew a baby fox with historical elements that defines it as steampunk art. I really enjoyed doing this because I do like history. It was a very interesting topic to look into and I hope I get the opportunity to broaden my knowledge relating to the Victorian times.Jeremiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02173262297368103374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813373545338652924.post-70625840797682927212018-11-26T09:24:00.001+13:002018-11-26T09:24:30.017+13:00Panmure Bridge School Athletics<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last Friday we had our annual Panmure Bridge School athletics. During the day Learning Space Two were split into A and B so that Mrs Anderson and our reliever's job was easier. I was group a red which meant we started at rob the nest. All teams were determined to win but we were not good enough to beat yellow. After that we did long jump. We all had fun but yellow won. It was alright because we came second in long jump. After that we all partook in the sponge relay. This was my favourite because this was the first time we won. I was so happy. Then we did shot put. I am not that strong so I knew I would not be able to win. After everyone threw of course yellow won. After that we went and started practising our discus technique. This was a turn of events as blue won. We did have more events but the last two red won. At the end yellow came first in our pool but we did come second. For lunch we had sausage sizzles which gave me energy for the sprints. I came second which meant I qualified to go to athletics which will be held at Lloyd Elsmore.Jeremiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02173262297368103374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813373545338652924.post-74769961126534653182018-11-21T11:47:00.002+13:002018-11-21T12:01:05.491+13:00Read Theory Progress<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the past two years I have been taught by Ms Kirkpatrick and Mrs Anderson. They are both great teachers and to help us broaden our knowledge they provide us websites such as read theory. While I have been in Learning Space Two I have been practising my reading by using Read Theory. Today the class have gathered information from our Read Theory accounts to create a statistical graph that shows our improvement between last year and this year. I have really improved although I did drop in November 2017 I regained my focus and propelled myself forward to achieve my highest grade. In my recent reading test you can see that read theory has helped me improve. The box underneath the graph is my hypothesis about why the graph looks like it does. </div>

Wolves is a book written by the amazing author Emily Gravett. The book wolves is about a rabbit who went to the library to read a book about wolves. While the rabbit read the book he learnt that: wolves can adapt to different climates, they have sharp claws, and they eat large animals like deer and bison. The thing that really caught his attention was that they also eat rabbits. In the book there are a range of amazing illustrations and the book is cleverly written. It is a new style of writing which is a signature technique used by Emily Gravett. For this book Miki and I wrote five things that people believe wolves do. e.g. wolves howl at the moon. On the other side of that chart is facts that either prove that the ideas are true or that they are false.</div>

Meerkat Mail is an amazing picture book written by a highly praised British author, whose name is Emily Gravett. To celebrate book week Mrs Anderson has read three of Emily Gravett's books and has asked us to complete three activities based on the books. The books that have read are: Wolves, Meerkat Mail, and the Big Book of Fears. All three books were written and illustrated by Emily Gravett. The book Meerkat Mail is about a Meerkat who is getting sick of living with his family and throughout the week he went and lived with relatives who live a different lifestyle he is used to. At the end of the book he finally understands why he has to live like he does so he returned home. For this activity <a href="http://pbsmikihirou.blogspot.com/">Miki</a> and I created an animation with information about meerkats.Jeremiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02173262297368103374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813373545338652924.post-39870172648563441032018-11-16T11:33:00.002+13:002018-11-16T11:33:36.049+13:00Questions and Wonderings - World War One<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As the year is slowly drawing to an end Mrs Anderson and Ms Kirkpatrick have left the classroom to start discussing our reports so Mrs Anderson has set us up to complete DLO's that would answer the questions we have chosen to answer. For this activity I have worked with Alex and we have decided to answer: 'Was the Language barrier a Problem' and 'How many people lost their lives due to firing squads.' We chose this by firstly writing questions that we thought would be interesting to answer, after that we chose the top two which one was chosen by Alex and one was chosen by me. The Language barrier was a problem because the opposition could easily understand what the other side is saying meaning they could counter their move. If it was not for the American colonel they would not be able to win WW1. Although this killed many people firing squads killed an accumulated total of 456. This was the punishment for people who defied commands or tried escaping. They were all shot and fell with dishonour. These men were later issued a pardon meaning the stain of dishonour was removed. We both worked collaboratively and our contribution to our work has been fair and equally. Working on this with Alex has proved to be equally productive and interesting. I would work with Alex again sometime.</div>

This week is book week and to celebrate this occasion Mrs Anderson set up a bus stop activity which asked questions about books. Some people found doing the orientation confusing but it all went to plan at the end. After we answered the questions Mrs Anderson asked us to create a statistical analysis on one of the questions. For this activity I have created both a pie graph and bar graph to expand the knowledge of my global audience by sharing with them do illustrations in a book are popular among LS2. To answer the question the majority of people said yes and this could be for many reasons including: people not pushing themselves, or students are easily hooked in by amazing artwork. In my opinion I believe that it is not important because books should be able to make you imagine. Although I do believe illustrations are not necessary they are still an amazing thing to add to create</div>

Mrs Anderson asked the class to create a google drawing that included the Armistice theme. The poster above is a visual representation of the unity between the British and the United States of America. This is why their is a crown (U.K.) and a man with a hat with stars (U.S.A.). During the war America and England were very close and both fought side by side. In the background there is a soldier paying his respect to the fallen soldiers of New Zealand (Reason for the silver fern). I did this to incorporate our nations fallen heroes.</div>

This Sunday will mark 100 years since World War 1 came to an end and to celebrate this occasion at school we held a special memorial which Mr Johnston led. We had the whole school attend, representatives of our Board of Trustees, and a representative of the New Zealand Defence force. To open the memorial, Ofa started by saying the prayer which was followed by He Honore. After that Tiava and I recited the Ode of remembrance both in English and te reo maori. This was very special as it was to remember the fallen soldiers. Ms Kirkpatrick read out the famous poem In Flanders Field by the Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. We then listened to the last post and lowered the flag. It was then raised again to the playing of Reveille. To remember this event poppies with the signature of the students will be placed on the fence in our school. There will also be olive plants planted next to the fence. To conclude the ceremony God Defend New Zealand (national anthem) played. It was a great a service and everyone did an amazing job at speaking and by respecting the fallen soldiers. Lest we forget.Jeremiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02173262297368103374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813373545338652924.post-2423959451530618832018-11-08T09:43:00.003+13:002018-11-08T10:24:51.751+13:00Armistice Day Collage<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On the 11th of November at 11:00am all the countries who fought in World War 1 signed a treaty which would eventually bring WW1 to an end. This treaty forced the Germans to surrender most of their military weaponry and it sealed the Central powers defeat. The soldiers were delighted to hear the news and the people who live in the allied nations celebrated by doing many things like marching. Families were happy to get confirmation that they will not lose any of their loved ones. The Armistice was signed in a secluded area in Compiègne, France. WW1 was a deadly conflict resulting in 16 million deaths. Due to the many lives lost many were not identified. To commemorate the unidentified fallen soldiers there are Unknown Warrior tombs around the world which people can go to and show respect. It has nearly been 100 years since the end of World War 1. To mark the special occasion, the New Zealand Reserve bank brought out a 50 cent coin which has details that represents World War 1. Interestingly the first ever Armistice Commemoration was held in Buckingham Palace in 1919 and World War 1 was started through an unfortunate assassination of the Austrian Archduke, Franz Ferdinand. For this activity I have worked with <a href="http://pbssanujans.blogspot.co.nz/">Sanujan</a>.

The Battle of the Somme was a battle which was fought in France near the Somme river. This is where the lost generation of Britain died. This war occurred between 1st of July 1916 and 18th of November 1916 (World War 1). During those days the soldiers had to dig out trenches as a way to protect themselves from enemy fire. Although soldiers could not get shot at, the trenches became damp during winter and the fields where the men battled were also muddy. This caused the war to be postponed. The war was set to resume but the Germans retreated. On the presentation we were asked to answer questions backed up by evidence that can be found in the text. This activity has relates to our current inquiry topic which is peace. This war ended with quite a bit of casualties and people were not informed about what was happening during this period of time. For this activity I have worked with Dallas. Next time I do a collaborative challenge I will make sure Dallas contributes more.Jeremiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02173262297368103374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813373545338652924.post-84405327523686701322018-10-31T09:04:00.002+13:002018-11-06T13:45:04.137+13:00The Highwayman - Simile and Metaphors<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white;">This week for reading one of our tasks was to create a DLO explaining the differences between a simile and a metaphor. I worked with <a href="http://pbsalexg.blogspot.com/">Alex</a> and together we wrote our own definition for what a simile and metaphor are, the definition of a simile (In simple terms) is a comparison of two things using the words like and as. The (Simple) definition of a metaphor is a comparison of two objects with out using like or as. We also needed to use a simile and a metaphor from the poem The Highwayman as examples.</span></div>

Today I really enjoyed writing a narrative because it gave our group a break from writing explanations. I have written a story about a woman who lives in an asylum because she is mentally ill. I wrote about what is causing her all the pain and what she has to live in everyday. I chose the photo 'Trapped' because I found that I could change the story by saying she was trapped in her own mind. It also gave me flexibility as I could choose how the characters will resolve problems and how the story will end up being like.

Mrs Anderson has started teaching Learning Space Two about values that are missing in our class. To expand our knowledge on values, Mrs Anderson has asked us to choose a value that will inspire our DLO. <a href="http://pbsmikihirou.blogspot.com/">Miki</a> and I both contributed to the DLO fairly and we both agreed to do unity. We did this because we believe it is a big role in the functionality of a classroom and it is something that I definitely need to work on. I am not good at working with others because I tend to be a bit controlling and I like things to be done a certain way. I will now listen to the idea of my team mates so that it does not make them feel like I do not value their ideas.</div>

In the absence of Mr Pineda I was able to complete my set task and was also able to complete a DLO I needed to complete from school. My set task was to complete my charity box and the charities I chose were: Ronald McDonald House, Kauri Dieback charity, Temperance Union, and Read Around the World. Two of them I made up and the other two are charities that I felt have made a positive impact on the communities around New Zealand. Read Around the World is a charity that helps children who find reading difficult and Kauri dieback is a charity that will help protect the brittle kauri trees of New Zealand. Today Mr Mckenzie-Brown was the substitute teacher. He usually works as a senior teacher in English.Jeremiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02173262297368103374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813373545338652924.post-32882549302945411452018-10-26T10:45:00.000+13:002018-11-06T13:50:14.296+13:00Highwayman Summary - Alfred Noyes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As the year is coming to an end Mrs Anderson has been preparing us by giving us a poem that the year 8's will be seeing in secondary school. This week we have been reading the poem the Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. It was written in 1913 but is set a long time before. The Highwayman was a British outlaw who would steal gold from people who were in carriages. His bonny sweetheart Bess would later in the poem take her life to warn her loved one about the soldiers who camped in her bedroom. When he found out about Bess taking her life he charged towards her residence where he was shot. Legend has it that when the moon is a ghostly galleon upon the cloudy seas he rides towards Bess's residence (an old inn) where he talks to her while she plaits a love knot in her hair.</div>

The student leaders of Panmure Bridge School partook in the KiwiCan clean up alongside: Glenbrae primary school, Glen Taylor School, and Tamaki Primary School. Us taking part in this event will have a positive effect on New Zealand wildlife and the way people perceive the Tamaki area. Today Jordan (SWIS) and Miss Paige (KiwCan Leader) supervised us as we walked from our school to Point England Reserve. While we walked, we picked up rubbish to ensure that our area looked clean but to make it fun we said that the group that does not pick up the most rubbish will have to do what the winning team says. When we arrived at Pt England we collected six full bags of rubbish and recycling so it was hard to tell who won. When we got their we were given lunch and bottles of water. As Tiava and I are the head students of our school we were ask to comment on the event. After that, we finished the day playing games against the other schools. I would like to than the Graeme Dingle Foundation for letting us take part and to the Lion Foundation for providing us with lunch.Jeremiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02173262297368103374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813373545338652924.post-42033018203742620612018-09-21T13:59:00.000+12:002018-09-21T13:59:21.568+12:00How To Stand Up To Bullies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Bullying is a problem that is faced by schools in New Zealand and around the world. Bullies are usually trying to show off to their friends or their home life is currently not the best. Reacting to the situation can make matters worst like adding gasoline to fire. There are many ways to avoid the situation. For example, if it is cyber bullying you can block them and report them. If it is physical try talking to an adult who you trust or try avoiding the person until the tension dies down. If you try and get revenge it could just end you up in trouble so it is for the best you make sure someone is aware of the difficulties you are facing.</div>

Every assembly Tiava and I are asked to speak at assembly. Our job is to inform other students what will be happening next week and talk about highlights of the week. The photo above is a photo of us presenting at the official opening of the first Medicube in New Zealand. We were joined by members of our Board of Trustees and also some important people from Starship Hospital. I was asked to speak in Te Reo Maori which I found easy because I have been speaking Maori at other assemblies. The photos on the screen were taken during the morning at the blessing of the Medicube. As I am a part of the Kapa Haka group I also joined people for the special blessing of the new building. This was an initiative between Panmure Bridge School and the District Health Board. It has taken three years for this idea to become a reality but it is now situated at our school.Jeremiahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02173262297368103374noreply@blogger.com0
