Kiwi Sport - Ki O Rahi by Alex

This week in Kiwi Sport we were learning about the different positions, locations and roles in Ki O Rahi. In the game, the two roles are Taniwha and Kioma, one of them tries to score while the other protects. Our Coach Shanice explained the names of all the different places, one of them being Te Roto and another one is Te Ara. In the game we played two people were in the middle, protecting the barrel whilst their teammates needed to run around the circle and tap the ball on the posts. The other team formed a circle around the two people in the middle and needed to hit the barrel before the people in the middle's teammates got all the way around.

Softball Interschool by Mele

Yesterday the year 5-8's softball teams went down to Dunkirk Park to participate in our softball games. There were 2 teams that represented Panmure Bridge School, which was the year 7 and 8 team and the year 5 and 6 team. We played 5 games each. We won 2 games and lost 3 games. Our opponents were Glenbrae School, Point England, Ruapotaka School, O Puau Te Moananui A Kiwa, and Tamaki Primary. We tried our best, but unfortunately we lost to O Puau Te Moananui A Kiwa, Point England, and Tamaki Primary. We managed to win against Ruapotaka School and Glenbrae. Throughout every game we showed teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship to each other. All of us were excited to try our new PE uniforms on.

Teamwork by Alex

 

Today Marieta, Joel, Sakina and I worked together to create a sketchnote on what a team is, our definition of a team is a group of people who work together to achieve a common purpose. In teams all members must respect one another, make sure everyone is included and respect all opinions. Three things that people need to do in teams are: Communicate, collaborate and participate.

Teamwork by Angela

L.I to define teamwork by creating a sketchnote.

Today as a group we have created a sketchnote to define what teamworks means. We have came up with
5 ideas that define teamwork. I worked with Giovanni, Jack, Julian, Chavda & Nidhi. As a team we
completed this activity. We first explained our ideas with each other to pick the best. The character
that was on the DLO was Clarence I created it in one of my drawing tasks.

Head Boy: Jack

Today was the first assembly for Term 1 of 2019 for Panmure Bridge School. This year, I am representing my school as head student, and I am very happy that I will be able to represent the school in many ways. For this weeks assembly, Mele and I spoke in front of the school, Julian and Fui showcased the new design to our school P.E kit, and all 6 leaders received their leadership badges. In my opinion, I thought we spoke really well, and that if we can keep our composure, and speak clearly, then we can become great leaders. After the assembly, photos were taken, and smiles could be seen across all of our faces. I hope that next week, we will have just as much fun as we did today.

Head Girl: Mele

Today was a special assembly, since it was the first week of school. As leaders Jack and I presented in assembly for the first time of 2019. It was a great experience, because we were both proud to lead our school as Head boy and girl. This special assembly included us school leaders receiving our badges, the sports leaders modelling our new PE kit and Ms Kirkpatrick handing out different prizes from prize giving last year. The sports leaders for 2019 are Fui and Julian. The Manaiakalani leaders for 2019 are Nyjah and Alex.

Being a Leader by Nyjah, Matthew, Aung Naing, Jonathan and Sandra

Today our team consisting of Matthew, Aung Naing, Jonathan, Sandra and I made a
google draw about the definition and goals of a leader. We worked together as a team to
create this google DLO and we were able to write down what we think a leaders

expectations and goals are. We think that as a team leaders should be supportive
and encouraging to everyone in their team.

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. 

Collaborative Comprehension | The Battle Of The Somme

This week, we did something really different. What we did was collaborative comprehension. This means we collaborate and work as a team to complete our set task. However the only difference was, we didn't work in groups. Rather we worked in pairs. Since this task was in reading, we were to choose a person from Ms Kirkpatrick's group to be our partner. After we got into our pairs, we started on our task. Our task was to infer a story called The Battle Of The Somme. After we read the context we were to answer many varieties of questions that link to this context. This task links to Mrs Anderson's Inquiry sessions. They inquiry sessions were about Peace. For this task I worked collaboratively with Angela.
