Why is it important to use our PBS CARE value

LI:To write a explanation using TEEL paragraph 

This week we have been revising explanation writing. Next week is our assessment week so we did this collaborative challenge to remind ourselves what is needed when we write explanations. We found it interesting the way the paragraphs all connected at the end and you could see the links between the ideas.

Learning and understanding fractions

 L.I: To learn how to group and split in fractions.

This week is our last session with Mr Fisi’iahi for this term as it was last week. For this week my group and I worked on fractions and played a game called Play tower of hanoi. We also used Multi Link cubes to help us understand fractions and to help us solve the questions. I really enjoyed playing with my partner solving fraction questions. We also played a game called Dicy numbers which got us into parnters. This game was really fun and competitive as we had to see who was the first one to win.  Understanding fractions helps us understand the groups,twice and the double. Double means twice as example 6+6=2 or 6 x 2=12. 

Why is it important to make wise choices?

Why is it important to make wise choices?

Did you know there are 8 million tons of plastic that end up in our ocean every year?

Because of this millions of  sea animals die every year. How would you feel if there was a plastic net tied around your neck and stopping you from breathing,how would you feel if a plastic straw is stuck up your nose,how would you feel if you were swimming in plastic.. How would you feel if you were eating plastic. Do you like fish and chips if you do then there might not be any more fish because they're dying from the plastic and if you want to save them and many more sea animals jest by throwing your our someone's rubbish in the bin and remember if you throw one rabbis in the bin you are saving one sea animal.

Blub:

we had to write a paragraph  that had to do with plastic pollution did u know that we dropped less plastic than last year .did u know last year we dropped 5 trillion pieces of plastic and this year we dropped  5.25 trillion macro and micro pieces of plastic in our ocean.

Inquiry

 LI: To think deeply about a change I would make

I will make every kid in NZ that doesn't have lunch to have lunch the reason i am going to do that is because if .  to make every homeless person to not be homeless anymore. After that I will help people that are struggling with paying the bills and rent. I will make sure adults will get a good amount of money they deserve. I will pay for people that can’t afford school equipment and sport equipment. I will make sure that we will have more Maori and Pasifika teachers to teach the kids about there coulters and other coulters.

Inquiry

 LI: To decide which political party will get your vote by making an informed choice 

This week i decide which political party I would vote for I read a summary of the policies each party wants to introduce should they win the election and the right to form a government to run NZ. Doing this allowed me to make an informed decision.If I was 18 I would vote for Jasinder Ardern because she is going to make sure that every kid that don't have lunch in Nz will have lunch This means if Jasinder Ardern Won the election in my electorate Jenny Salesa would be our member of parliament and Jasinder Ardern would become the Prime Minister.

DARE To Make A Choice

 LI: To learn about making good choices.

Today, we were learning about drugs. A program made by the New Zealand  police called the Dare program, teaches kids about drugs. We learnt about drugs being bad, and the effects it has on our future. We also learnt something new about drug classes, A, B, and C. This was interesting, because we thought most drugs were illegal than legal. But only  about ten drugs were illegal, because of the harm, and effects. The first activity we did was sorting our drugs that we thought were legal, and illegal. Next we sorted them in order from most harmful, to harmful. Our most harmful was cocaine, and our least harmful was Milo. Next worked together in a group on a scenario activity. There were six scenarios, about kids being involved in drugs or beer. For the activity you were to give a punishment for each situation. The one we found most interesting was number five. Two Seventeen year olds were drinking at a bar. We thought that this was wrong, because you have to be eighteen and over to drink. They are also drinking at a bar, which meant that someone must have given them the alcohol. So we all agreed, and decided that the kids would have a warning, and the owner of the bar (the person who gave them the alcohol) will lose their job, get a fine of $1000, and lose their license. This is a good enough punishment, because the owner should be asking for an id, and should only be selling to people eighteen and over. Lastly we went into partners, and talked about questions that had to do with what we learnt, and about things that surprised us. One thing to remember is that you are the most important person in your world.

Tech/Science with Mrs Sharma

 LI:To identify the different types and uses of plastic.

This week for tech the year 7s at Panmure Bridge School  learned about the different types of plastics. We also learned about Plastic, material, wood, paper and metal which helps us understand more about  plastics. We also played an activity that will give us more information on plastic. The activity we played was about looking around the class and trying to look for the different materials that we could see. The most interesting fact that I learnt was that every year 17 billion rubbish gets thrown away in the ocean.
