Google Meets Panmure Bridge School – Angie
We learned so much information today from the Google team. They’re names are Steve, Caro, Teyha and Simon. They gave us an inspiration message “don’t stop following your dream” and “it’s ok to fail”. Google was founded by Larry page and Sergay Bryn at Stanford. Colours on Google are from LEGO colours. Also Google was about to be name backrub before. But changed into Google, from Googol, a number with 1 and ends with a lot of zeros.
YouTube is also owned by Google. The first video on Youtube is called ” Me at the zoo” . The Google team also tells us that some jobs you want to do might not even exist. The Google team also said some amazing sentences to help us. They said don’t make it 10% better , make it 10 times better. An idea isn’t silly, put it forward and try and expand on that.
At the end I very enjoy this, because Google teaches us a lot of things that we don’t know and they encourage us to keep dreaming.
Information Report: Bengal Swamp Tigers – Lisea and Daeyna
We used our smart searching skills to find facts about the Bengal Swamp Tiger. Once we had found the information we needed we made notes in our own words. We used these notes to help us write our information reports. Information reports give readers with information on a chosen topic by providing them with facts.
LI: to write an information report that informs the reader about the Swamp Tiger.
Not many people know that swamp tigers are nocturnal hunters. Swamp tigers, (also known as panthera tigris tigris) are glamorous animals, regardless of their beauty they are vicious beasts that are slowly coming to extinction. These tigers can be found in the mangrove forests of Sundarbans, which is in-between India and bangladesh.
Swamp tigers have an orange coat and black stripes all around their body to help them camouflage with their surroundings. These creatures have a beastly jaw and muscular bodies. They use their enormous and retractable claws to easily take out their prey. Also did you know that they weigh about 453.592kgs?
Bengal tigers are carnivorous animals (only eats meat) they can eat, and kill everything starting from tiny crabs, to human beings. These animals eat wild boars, deers, buffalos, monkeys, unlike other tigers they include marine life into their diet.
Are you aware only about 100 of the bengal swamp tigers remain today? Swamp tigers come from a continent in Asia, you will find that they live between the borderlines of India and bangladesh. They like humid places and live in mangroves forests.
Not many people know that they are unsocial animals, either way these tigers are very protective about their territory. As it says in the opening statement, they live in mangrove forests, because of this they can camouflage easily to hunt for their prey.
Not a lot of people are aware that these beautiful predator populations will decrease if we continue to expand cities.
Mount Wellington – Brooke
Our challenge was to use our smart researching skills to find 5 facts about the mount wellington/maungarei. We also researched about Volcanic peak and Crater, for example: a Volcanic peak is a mountain that has a hole in the middle that could entertain lava or a volcano. As you can see we went into groups of 6. My group and I found 2 interesting photos of what it looks like.
I enjoyed doing this task because I get to experience lots of facts about them and what it looks like.
Swamp Tigers – Armani and Hasna
LI: To create a multi – modal DLO that tells others about swamp Tigers.
Our challenge was to research about Bengal Swamp Tigers, including their appearance, diet (what they eat), natural habitat, how they behave, and interesting facts about swamp tigers. Swamp tigers appear in stealth mode as they are camouflaged in their habit, they only meat which means they are carnivores, they are very territorial because they are territorial, and they also behave viciously as they are protecting their habitat.
I enjoyed this task because I loved researching about swamp tigers.
How to do Multiplication Algorithm
We were challenged to use multiplication algorithm to solve multiplication problems. I created a DLO that shows an explanation on how to solve addition algorithm. When using algorithm with multiplication it is important to remember to carry the 1 on the next number, if the number is bigger than 9.
I found this task fun because I can teach others how to use algorithm.
Howick Historical Village Trip
For this activity we created a collage of Howick Historical Village.We first got all separated into 3 groups and got to do some activitys like Butter making,Building Trolleys, A tour around and also learning about the 1800s.For my group our first activity was butter making and what we did for butter making was that we had a cream to make the butter.Our first step was to put the cream into a a glass bottle, then we used this one paddle that used to make butter in the 1800s.While we were mixing it there was a rhyme that goes like ¨Churn butter churn (Someones Name) waiting at the gate, waiting for some butter cake churn butter churn¨Then we had a little look around the place and also learning history in the 1800s,we also explored and experience the houses and looked at the boards that was giving us infomation about what the houses and there was not just houses there was a church, school and also bulding places like wood for men back then.Our last activity was Building Trolleys.What we did first was we learnt infomation about what we will be building and got into 4 groups.We got given items, tools and many other stuff that needed to be used for what we were building.For my reason about building trolleys was that we were using our teamwork skills and working togther and it was also hard because there was no instructions but only a picture for us to look at and see were does the tools or itmes goes.
What I thought about this trip was it was really amazing to learn about the 1800s and also getting more and more information about back then.What I thought about this task was that it was cool to talk about were we went and what we have been doing lately.
Haiku Poem
In the a Haiku poem there are 7 syllables, 10 syllables. Syllables are chunks of a word, For my haiku poem I did one about Maui and the sun, my poem was
The sun moved quickly
Maui had an idea
To capture the sun
He woke up early
Maui tried his best to throw
Maui brought the sun
Searching for the Ra
They came across a large whole
They hid and waited
He used up his strength
And slowly woke up the sun
Pulling it closer
He found companions
And started to hit the Ra
Slowly and slowly
I liked this task because my partner made it more interesting and fun.
Provocation
LI: To understand both sides of an opinion
We read a text about 2 men that stole Victoria crosses and 96 military medals from the Natinal Army Musuem, special to NZ. We shared opinions if we thought their punishment fit the crime or not. Then we had to look and write perspectives different from ours.
I enjoyed this activity because I got to listen and understand different perspective.
A Moment in Time
LI: To write and describe a moment in time
Panmure Bridge School got to walk up Maungarei (Mt. Wellington). When we came back from our walk, we created a poem about what we felt and what our ancestors felt like on Maungarei. We first came up with words that described what we heard, saw, felt, and what we wondered. When we came up with all the words for our poems we used wordhippo to change some words to level up our writing.
I found this task fun because I got to find new words to level up my writing.
