LI: to learn business
For the last couple of weeks LS1 has been studying business and enterprise. So LS1 started their own business, and started making frames to sell. They were selling normal sized frames and small frames. They first started off by picking a topic for their frame so it could guide them what the frame would look like. Some kids themes were seasons like Winter and Summer, some were holidays like Christmas. Some even did things like Fathers Day, and also did colour schemes like neon. LS1 did all sorts of things to design the frames. They have done painting, made their own accessories, and have done many more.

Athletics Day
On 22nd of November Panmure Bridge School did Atheltics. Each class was sorted into four groups. The groups were Red, Yellow, Blue and Green. The Yr 6s started with Lilly Pad Gladiator, then they played Rob the nest and tried to get as much balls as possible. We then did long jump and we tried to jump as far as we could. We then played sponge relay, softball throw, hula hoop throws, the egg and spoon challenge, then we played lifesaver and lastly we played frisbee throws. We then had sausage sizzles. Later in the afternoon we had races for Yr 1s -Yr 8s.

Tennis (Wk 4)
LI: to learn tennis
This week LS1 started off by doing rallies. But while they were doing rallies they had to try to control the power they put into the racket when they hit the ball. They then played doubles, which is just normal tennis but there are two people on each side. Then they practised their serving. When they were with their partner they had to be on different sides. So they were in a diagonal position. So they had the racket on their shoulder and the ball on the other hand so when they threw the ball up, they could hit the ball with the racket.

Coffee Shop Game
LI: to learn about business
For Inquiry LS1 were playing a coffee shop game. In the game they were in a coffee business. They had to buy the supply and adjust the recipe of the coffee to get it to taste good. If the coffee was good and the price was good the reputation would go up. It would show a graph showing if their reputation increased or decreased, how many cups they have sold, how much cash they made, and see if they changed the price while we were selling. So the objective of the game was to try to make as much money in 14 days.

Paper Plane Measurements
LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wing span and area on lift
This week Mr Wongs Math Groups tried different model planes and tested their studied the effect of the wingspan and area on lift. There were different plane designs like Zip Flip, Sonice Star, Fire Dart and heaps more. Then there were three main plane models. Which were Glider, Dart, and Stunt. They threw their paper planes ten times. They then had to find the average by adding all the measurements up and dividing it by ten. They then made a graph with a trend-line to see if the wingspan effected the distance flown by the plane.

Character & Setting Description
LI: to identify parts of a narrative
This week Mr Ogilvies Writing Groups were planning a narrative. They started off by coming up with a Male character whose name was Jaerell, and a Female character named Patricia. After they came up with settings which were the future city of Los Angeles, an abandoned farm, and Area 51. They then had to do a Character Description for Jaerell and Patricia. Then a setting description for the future city of Los Angeles, Area 51, and a abandoned farm.

Tennis (Wk 3)
LI: to learn how to serve
LS1 first started off with small rallies. They then later did a warm up to help them with their serving. Then they were with their partner and had to be on different sides. So they were in a diagonal position. They then had to serve the ball to each other diagonally without the racket. They served the ball in a shot put position. So the ball in our hands are on our shoulder and pushing the ball. They then did the serve with the racket. So they had the racket on their shoulder and the ball on the other hand so when they threw the ball up, they could hit the ball with the racket.

Foodprint
LI: to learn business
Today a businesswoman named Michael came in to share her journey on creating her business to LS1 and LS2. Her business is Foodprint which is an app that sells food for half the price, from cafes and bakeries that had to much supply and less demand. Michael started working on her business two years ago and just launched it just under six months ago. She started this because she thought Food waste was a problem. Right now in the world we have 7.5 billion people, and we make food enough to feed 10 billion people. So the leftover food we have people just throw it away. People waste 1.3 billion tonnes of food which decays and turns into methane gas which contributes to climate change. So food waste isn't just wasting food which could be eaten, but is also changing other stuff like climate change.
For example bread is the one of the most wasted food items on earth. New Zealand waste 20 million loaves of bread even though there are only 4.5 million of people in New Zealand. She also shared how she made her logo, name, and a bunch of other things.

Wingspan Data
LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effects of the wingspan and area on lift
Mr Wongs Math Groups made graphs to study the lift to see if the wingspan and distance differs. The type of graph they made was a scatter chart. They first threw their planes and had to measure the distance. They also needed the measurements as data so they can use it in their graph. They also have made some mistakes like how most of the planes distance flown were pretty consistent and maybe one or two were way off. So they might have thrown it too hard or too soft. They also made a paper graph, and drew a trend-line. A trend-line is a line that shows how high or low the results are.

Setting Description
LI: to investigate figurative language
Mr Ogilvies Writing groups have been learning figurative language to help their descriptions more descriptive. Figurative language is saying something to someone but not directly meaning it. Last week they tried to describing a character with different types of figurative language. Simile, Metaphor, Personification, and Hyperbole. This week they described a setting using figurative language. They used the five senses: See, Smell, Taste, Sound, and Feel. We used those to help us describe the settings.

Tennis (Wk 2)
LI: to learn the volley
This week LS1 started learning the volley. They had to use the forehand and backhand grip technique but rather then hitting it after it bounces they hit it on the full. LS1 first started with a partner throwing a ball at us and we had to hit the ball on the full. They then had a rally with our partner but had to go hit it on the full. They also did it a point system.

Supply and Demand
LI: to learn Supply and Demand
LS1 have been continuing on with their Business Studies. They have been learning about Supply and Demand. Supply is how much there is available of the product. If the supplies price increases the company will make or build more of the product for the people. Demand is how much of the product people want. If the price increases, not as much people want it. Our task was to make a slide explaning Supply and Demand. LS1 then played a game which was called "I Supply, You Demand". Basically we were a company and we had to make money by picking an amount of stock and choosing the price of the product.

How to Cybermsmart
How do children use Cybersmarts here at Panmure Bridge School and within the Manaiakalani Cluster as a whole? Watch this tutorial to find out.
LS1 contributes "How to Cybersmart" as one of three submissions to the 2019 Manaiakalani Film Festival.
In 2019 our learners have again been learning about satire. We have taken the famous How to Dad's videos as inspiration for a way to look into our own learning and teaching practises as learners and teachers. We considered our practises to find a simplistic interpretation, then expressed that interpretation in a comedic way.
A small group was asked to research, write, storyboard, and film the movies this year. They had support from Mr Wong who also did much of the editing.

Figurative Character Description
LI: to investigate figurative language
Figurative language is saying something but not actually meaning it, not saying it directly. We've learnt five types of figurative language. Simile is comparing two things by using the words like or as. An example is "He was as fast as a cheetah". Another is Metaphor which is also comparing two things without using like or as. For example "He was a pig at dinner". Next is Personification which is giving human traits to inanimate objects or ideas. Later we learned Hyperbole which is exaggerating to show strong feelings or effect. Another example is "My house is a million miles from here". Understatement is the exact opposite of Hyperbole, it is expression with less strength then expected. For example "I'll be there in a second". We got a bunch of characters and we described them figuratively. We described them by using Similes, Metaphors, Hyperbole, and Personification.
Origami Plane Variables
LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wingspan and area on lift.
For the next couple of weeks Mr Wongs Math groups are studying aerodynamics. We learnt what variables are as well as independent and dependent variables. Our task this week was to create 12 paper/origami planes focusing on one certain design and studying each aspect of the design and which part of the paper planes are important and how they affect launch and flight. A variable is a feature of an object or thing that can change between multiple types of the object/item. An independent variable is unchanged by other variables or will not be changed by other aspects or assets of a variable. A dependent variable is depends on another factor in order to be changed.

Business (Wk 2)
LI: to learn the differences between Goods & Services
Goods is something you buy with your money, that you can hold. For example you buys sneakers, and they give it to you to your hands. Services are something you give money to but you can't really hold it, they do something for you. For example a taxi, you give them money to take you where you want to go. We had a bunch of little papers with company or business logos on them. We had to sort them out however we like. For example the Gucci one would be in the Fashion section, and the KFC one would be in the food section.
Novel Studies
LI: to novel study
For the next couple of weeks Mr Ogilvies reading groups are going to do novel studies. We did novel studies on Roald Dahl books. The Roald Dahl books we could pick were Matilda, The Witches, The Twits, Georges Marvellous Medicine, Danny the champion of the world, Fantastic Mr Fox, and Giraffe the Pelly and me. We are supposed to read the books up to a certain point, then do an activity. There are a bunch of activities for each book like, Character Descriptions, Story Web, Author Study, Comprehension questions and more.

Origami Planes
LI: to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect of wing span and area on lift
This week we started making Origami Planes. There were two types of plane we can make. One was the standard plane and the other one was a different plane. The first one was a bit taller then the second one. We had to pick one of the plane models to study. I picked the second plane model. Our task was to make a diagram show the parts of the origami plane. We also had to measure the parts of the plane. We measured the fuselage length, fuselage width, wingspan, wing area, and wing length.
Business (Wk 1)
LI: to define & describe the terms enterprise and business
Enterprise meaning online is "a project or undertaking, especially a bold or complex one". Which means to agree on a project or some work. Business's meaning online is "a person's regular occupation, profession or trade". Which means a person's job. We first started on with an activity. We had the word Enterprise. We had to guess what the meaning of Enterprise meant in our groups. We did the same thing with the word Business. We then in our groups had to put in our definitions of Enterprise & Business, and put it aside with the real definition. We then had to get a bunch of business's, local, national, and international. We then had to write down what they sell, and their price range.
Tennis (Wk 1)
LI: to learn the forehand and backhand grip technique
For the term our Kiwisport is Tennis. We first started off learning the two grips. The forehand grip technique was putting your dominant hand at the bottom of the racket. The backhand grip technique was two hands holding the racket but the dominant hand is also at the bottom while the weak hand is at the top. To practise these techniques we got balls thrown at us so we could hit the ball while doing the techniques. We then practised them again by doing some rallies with a partner.
