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?

Yesterday our focus was what does community mean to me. I was in a group with Trinity, Jasmyne and myself. We all gathered our own perspectives on what we thought community meant. 

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.

Athletics day

Today Panmure Bridge had athletics day. We did 9 different obstacles and had 4 different colour groups. There was team red, green, blue and yellow. I was in team yellow group B, I was teamed with Julian, Fraidoon, Ofa and Kanye. We had a good time and managed to win a few games against the our teams.  

Read Theory Progress

Today the whole of LS2 have been going through our Read Theory progresses. This Bar graph shows my progress though out the year. It also shows my biggest grade and my lowest grade. 

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. The whole school created our own poppies that were then placed on a cross that had sand in it so that the poppies would stand, we had also had a class poppy each for each class that our classroom signed that was place on our fence.
