Incredible Inverterbrates

 L.I: To summarise a text 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary

Invertebrates are animals with no backbone. They vary in size, shape and color. 95 to 99 percent of all animals species on Earth are invertebrates.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For reading (with Mrs Linda) we read the text of Incredible Invertebrates. Invertebrates are animals that have no back bones. Each Invertebrate has different groups. The six main groups are:

• Molluscs
• Arachnids
• Insects
• Crustaceans
• Myriapods
• Annelids

Facts that we found interesting were that Myriapods can grow upto 750 legs. Also earthworms make the better for growing. Lastly fleas are also called minibeasts because their small and they bite several times and cause itchiness. We found this activity interesting and fun because we learnt more facts about invertebrates.

Science Exploration | Science Tech

 L.I: To explore the use of science equipments.

 

For Tech the Year 7's looked over science equipments. Our topic for our science lesson was Science Exploration. Our first task was to look around the lab and look for objects that the lab has but Panmure Bridge school doesn't. Our second task was to list down 20 science equipment. Our final task was to pour 40 metre litres(ml) into a beaker and then pour it into a measuring cylinder. We also used a dropper and dropped 3 metre litres (ml) into the measuring cylinder to make the measurment 43 metre litres (ml). 

Book Week

L.I: To celebrate reading

This week is book week where people celebrate reading. Panmure Bridge school celebrate book week by dressing up as a character in a book. Our teachers talked to us about their favourite books. We all celebrated book week in the assembly. Each class walked up the stage showing off their amazing costumes. After assembly LS2 took room 4 and room 6 and read with them. I found book week very fun because we got to see everyone amazing costumes.

This week is Samoan Language Week - Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa. The theme for 2021 is Poupou le lotoifale. Ola manuia le anofale which means strengthen the posts of your house, for all to thrive. In LS2 we have decided to value the measina of the language by creating a screencastify that teaches others how to use Samoan words and phrases.

My partner and I chose to pay it forward by showing others how to say the months of the year in Samoan. 

I found this challenge quite easy. I found it quite easy because I am Samoan so I have this type of knowledge in my head. I also found it fun because I got to give my own Samoan knowledge to people. 

Stan Walker | Silver Attitude

 L.I: To find a celebrity that had difficulties but is still positive 

For one of my silver attitude activites I created a DLO about a celebrity who faced difficulties but has a positive attitude. The celebrity I chose was Stan Walker. Stan Walker was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2017. A little information about Stan walker, Stan Walker is a singer. He is one of the most popular singers in New Zealand. Stan walker has won 5 New Zealand music award. 

Stan Walker was diagnosed with stomach cancer. The stomach cancer he got was a rare type of stomach cancer. Its called CDH1. CDH1 is a gene mutation. This type of cancer was the reason why 25 family members of the Stan Walker family died. 

I found this activity fun and really interesting. I found the new facts I found about Stan Walker interesting and I had fun researching them. This activity made me know more about his personal life. 

Cinquain Poem

L.I: To write a cinquain poem to describe a sports 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 to use words i've never heard before. The meaning behind some of the words are powerful thats what I liked about my poem. 

My Reading Pathway

L.I: To show my personal journey through 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 because I learn new words which helped me expand my vocabulary. I also like the journey's that the main characters go on.
