Soccer Interschool - C.A.R.E

On wednesday some of the year 3s to 8s participated in the soccer inter school which was at Madills Farm. Panmure Bridge School entered 7 teams into the tournament. I was in the 1st LS2 team which was a team made of me, Oscar, Leon, Vayan, Chris, Lukah and Taua. I was the team captain.

Our first and most intense game was against Stonefields where we unfortunately lost 0 - 1. The second game we played was against Glenbrae which we tied. The third was against Sylvia, this is the game where everything turned around, we won 1 - 0. The fourth game we played was against Panmure District and we beat them 1 - 0. The final game was against LS2’s B team, another game we won, the score was 3 - 1.

This interschool competition was very fun for us as we had a great experience. A special thanks to Mr Ogilvie, Mr Pao and the other helpers.

Toys

LI: To strengthen connections to technology.

We have been learning about technological practice.  This week we have been learning about the 6 processes of Technological Design and how each one is important in the process of designing a product.

We are using the processes of technological practices to  design and build a rubber band- powered rover that can scramble across the floor. I found this interesting and fun because we were able to find the materials needed to make the rovers, and we were able to do it with our friends. 

ASB Getwise

 LI: To make wise choices with your money.

Today part of LS2 took part in a financial advice task, The activity was being held by an ASB worker whos name was Marlon. The activity was a game about travelling to Fiji for a week. We started off with $1800 and we had to make smart financial decisions throughout the trip. We had to consider paying for things like the passport, accomodation, insurance, activities, and food. We also had the option to use a credit card which is basically getting a loan from the bank. 

This getwise session was very interesting because we had to really think about the financial decision we made along the way.

Settings

A setting is the place, time and environment of a story to help a reader make a connection to your narrative you need to use your words in away that helps them form a picture of what you are describing in their mind.

To do this we looked at an image and thought of 10 words that described and showed what we could see. Once we had thought of the adjectives or adverbs we used our smart searching skills to help us find synoymns that made our descriptions clearer.

I found this activity fun because I got to really think about how I would describe what the pictures would show us.
