PB4L

 LI:Following Classroom Rules & Expectations | PB4L

This weeks PB4L learning is about following classroom rules and expectations. PB4L is a acronym describing Positive Behavior for Learning. PB4L helps us understand the correct behavior for inside classroom learning and outer learning. This consist of Classroom discussions, walking to assembly, behaviour on school trips, wet day procedure eg. respecting wet day monitors. All of these prospects will help us develop a strong and healthy learning enviroment. I found this activity interesting because myself and my group got to explain in our words what the expectations we have to show and what are expected to do.

New New Zealanders

 LI:To idetify the main ideas in the text 

 

We were tasked to read a story called "New New Zealanders," it was about how a boy named Christian Kaka and his family seeked for a better life in New Zealand due to the war going on at Syria. After the story we were tasked to identify the main ideas in the text. For the Three Vital Ideas were Registered refugees can't be sent back to their country, The Refugees wanted people to know their story and many families moved to New Zealand because their country is to dangerous.

This activity was interesting because I found out what hard journey the Kaka family had been through and how of a blessing was waiting for them at the end of their hard times.

Being a Jedi in coding

 LI:To code the robot backwards without toching it - to be a Jedi

My robot will wait until I have pressed the onboard button before it does anything.We used an "If -Then-Else"block, as this gives the robot two choices to do.We are using the ULTRASONIC SENSOR on the front of the robot and we need to sense if soemthing is 10cm in front of it.If soemthing is 10cm or LESS in front of the robot,Ut will move backwards.If soemthing is NOT less than 10cm in front of the robot,it will move forwards (Else). This is all put into a forever block so that the robot constantly senses what is in front of it.

Cinquain Poem

 LI:To write a cinquain poem thats describes a sport star 

We have been learning to write cinquain poems to help us strengthen our connections to description. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun. I enjoyed this activity because I got learn what a cinquain poem was and how to understand the cinquain structure.

 

My Reading Pathway

 LI: To show my personal journey through the books

This week is book week at Panmure Bridge School, which means every class participates in a number of reading activities. One of our activities was to create a reading pathway that shows how my favourite books have changed over time. At the moment I like reading History books because it teaches me the past generations history and their living.

Polyneisan Pathers

 LI: To evaluate (form an opinion) the text and respond to provocation.

A provocation is a meaningful action or speech that strikes strong feelings about lawful and political topics. A provocation is something used with the purpose to make someone feel angry or upset but that is not the purpose of our DLO. Were  the Polynesian Panthers right to Protest against the actions of the Government? 

Polynesian Panthers was a group formed in 1971 by a group of university students and former gang members fighting for the rights of all polynesians that has been affected and scarred by these raids.Dawn Raids are raids that happened at dawn where police officers, government officials, and dog squads would raid the homes of Polynesian families and shine torches in the faces of many people no matter if they were elderly or little children police officers would ask for passports and ID if they were not shown then families who had all right to stay in New Zealand would be deported to there place of birth, this has caused trauma for many Polynesian people due to the traumatizing events that has taken place within their homes. The dawn aids will forever be a shameful stain in NZ. Police officers would also go up to people who looked Pacific Islander and  would ask for passports and identifecations these racial acts were kown as “Blitzes”.We think that the Polynesian Panthers had all right to protest against the wrongful actions of the Government because families were being teared apart and deported and also being traumatized due to the Dawn Raids.
