You're not you when you're hungry... LS2 2019 Manaiakalani Film Festival

The Panmure Bridge School Ad Campaign for the 2019 Manaiakalani Film Festival was an idea to promote the kind of learning we do here in Panmure Bridge and also within the Manaiakalani Cluster of schools. We took interesting ads and remade them under a Manaiakalani/Learn, Create, Share/Digital learning  theme.

In 2019, LS2's contribution is "You're not you when you're hungry". Can you figure out the ad it's based on?

     

Tech @ Tamaki College...

Today was our first day of Tech at Tamaki College for 2019. Our Year 7's are at Tech for the first time and are excited to be designing and making wooden toys in their Hard Materials rotation. Year 8A are designing and making clocks in Graphics, and our Year 8B students are designing and making pizza cutters in Metalwork. 

Panmure Bridge - LS2's Manaiakalani Movie

Our movie captures our learning journey last term about the structure and construction of bridges. This was a very exciting term for us as we were a part of a research study carried out by the Augmented Human Lab at Auckland University. This meant that not only did we access our learning through our smart searching, we also had the opportunity to see our learning in context through the augmented reality (AR) lens with an expedition created solely for us. Along the way we discovered that back in 2009 Mr Johnston and a group of students had created a movie that told the story of Panmure's first bridge. Inspired by this, we created our updated homage to their movie and our learning. 

Blog Analysis | By Mele

 

Today I created a Blog Analysis showing others how to create their own blog post record. First I created a google spreadsheet. In the spreadsheet I added the data from my blog (this was the total number of blog posts we have done each year). I have been blogging for 4 years since 2015. In 2015 I did 230 posts, 2016 I did 265 posts, in 2017 I did 286 posts, and this year (so far) I have only done 71 posts. Altogether I have published 852 blog posts. My goal is to be the first person to get the Panmure Bridge School 1000 Club badge.

Jack - Inquiry: P.B.S & Winter Olympics Venn Diagram

This week for inquiry, we were asked to make a Venn Diagram, comparing the differences and similarities of Panmure Bridge School, and the 2018 Winter Olympics. For this activity, I worked with Sanujan, Nickaela, and Brooklyn. I learnt a lot from this activity, the biggest thing being that Panmure Bridge School, and the Olympics share some of the same values! This was surprising, but a great new fact that I had just learnt. A Venn Diagram for anyone who doesn't know, are 2 circles put together, to form 3 sections. The 2 outer sections are the differences between 2 subjects, while the centre is the similarities.

Meeting Our Younger Students | By Jeremiah K

As head students we need to make sure that our students know who we are and what we can do for them. We kept it short and simple so that they can understand it. We talked a little about how we can accompany them if they are feeling sad or do not have anyone to play with. We would like them to cite us as role models and as someone they can lean on. I express my gratitude to Mrs Millward, Miss Cockeram, Mrs Hiddleston, and Mrs Mclane for giving up time for us to introduce ourselves.
