Celebrating the Summer Learning Journey

 LI: To celebrate the PBS Summer Learning Journey participants.

The Summer Learning Journey is a online organization, that helps children keep up with they're learning, through the digital screen. This is due to kids, lack of academic levels dropping throughout the holidays.

Panmure Bridge School was very proud to become apart of the SLJ Programme, as we have been the best school to complete the Summer Learning Journey Programme. 

The activities that were set, was created by Nano-Girl. Some teachers around NZ, had also contributed into making these activities, which most students really enjoyed.

 As apart of celebrating our achievements, Panmure Bridge has set different prizes and certificates at our school assemblies.

PBS, still remains with the title of top blogging school, in the whole of NZ. 

Congratulations to Sakshi on becoming, PBS top blogger, top commenter and First place top blogger for Manaiakalani. 

Woodwork Plan | Tech

 L.I to plan to create your woodwork design. 

This week in Tech, we were working towards making our wood-word designs, by creating a design on paper. The design that I have chosen to create was a Old-fashion car. WIth all of our designs, they all needed to have a joint. 

I really enjoyed this weeks Tech, because I am working towards my goal, to create this car. 

Number Banks | Maths

 L.I to practice our place value knowledge. 

In this DLO above, I was required to adjust these numbers. The numbers that I were given were 49,2615. With these numbers, I needed to adjust the numbers, as the document had told me. 

(e.g What is the largest six-digit number you can make?) The purpose of this task was to help us challenge our place value knowledge, into re-arranging these numbers. 

I really enjoyed this task, because of how it challenged my knowledge. 

Giant Panda Research | Writing

LI: to use our smart searching skills to find information about the giant panda.

Our focus for this challenge was based on writing TEEL paragraphs about giant pandas. After using our smart searching skills, we used the TEEL structure in order to write paragraphs. TEEL is the acronym for: topic sentence, elaborate, evidence and link sentence. 

First we researched about giant pandas and found information about them. After this, we made bullet point notes including the main points of our research. These notes helped create sentences with all the main ideas and made it understandable. 

After making the notes we started writing our TEEL paragraphs. TEEL paragraphs help us to expand our knowledge/ideas and formulate our thinking into informational pieces of text. 

We found this activity very enjoyable because we collaborated together to find out shocking information about pandas. One thing I learnt from this activity was that giant pandas are very close to extinction.
