What it means to be ‘Successful’

What have you been successful in this past year, 2019?  It could be in school, in sports, in church, a big or small achievement.  Explain how and why you were successful and what it meant to you.

In the past year I think I have been successful at being a good friend, being a good friend to me means being loyal in a friendship and never being too busy. Also to me friendship is dropping everything for them when an important event or something important comes up, also never choosing anyone or anything over them because their family. 

*This year I would like to be more successful in my classes and get more credits in my classes.

What Community means?

Made in Taiwan DLO

 In the past two weeks our focus for social studies have  been on my DLO called Made in Taiwan, we watched   videos and wrote down notes from the videos. In the video there were two guys named Nathan & Oscar who had travelled around different islands to find out where there clan parents came from.  
The thing that really interested me about the video was what they had studied like the Lapita patterns because some of the patterns that had been found were designs we use today for cultural tattoos.

WW1 Questions

Today we got to do a challenge about WW1 for Inquiry. I created this DLO with Magenta. We Wrote two questions and then gave our answers with proof as well. The reason why we choose these questions is because we thought these questions were very interesting. What I really like about doing this challenge is how we got to learn more about WW1 and learn the story behind WW1.

Armistice Day Commemoration

This morning Panmure Bridge School had our own Armistice Day Commemoration to remember those that lost their lives in WW1.  We had a representative of the New Zealand Defence Force and some of our Board of Trustees who attended our commemoration.

Sky tower - Trip

This morning LS2 went on a outing to the Auckland sky tower. We had a great time, the thing I didn't like the most was the glass floors in the elevator and the glass floor at the top. This was my second time going to the sky tower and I think the second time I went was better than the first. We had helpers that supervised us and they were Mr Wong, Mr Dobson, Miss Linda, Ms Kirkpatrick and Mrs Anderson. We had been sponsored by a man named Douglas Bates, that I would like to thank him for giving us this opportunity. 

Why sleep is so important?

We found the work that we gathered interesting because they were things we never knew before and things that can sometimes happen when we sleep.

Scale drawing - Enlargement

This week was maths week. For maths our focus was on scale drawing enlargements. Enlargement is when something starts of small and you make in bigger but it turns out looking the same or similar. Our Ratio was 1:2 and our scale factor was 2. This was my second time doing scale drawing in LS2. The last scale drawing I drew, a kitten. The best part of this scale drawing was doing the head. The hardest thing I did was the body because it took a while to do. Next time I will draw something that's more detailed.
