Hydrartion and Dehydration

This term Panmure Bridge School has been a water only school (we can only have water at school).  LS2 were given a task to create a DLO about what hydration and dehydration is. In this DLO I worked with Charlize, Jessie and Afu.  We have explained what hydration, dehydration is.

Rhythm Interactive

Today we got to do Rhythm Interactive they are a group that tour around New Zealand and other countries. They basically teach us African Drumming. It was really fun because we got to match the beat and sing as well. We also learnt different techniques to drumming. They didn't really speak because they were trying to prove a point, they were trying to prove that actions that are louder than words. I totally agree with this because I also think this as well. I learnt that we can connect beats so it can sound longer.  I would like to say a BIG Thank You to Lucy and Johnny for coming to our school to teach us new techniques about drumming and a HUGE Thank You to Mrs Eeles for asking Rhythm Interactive  to come to our school Thank You so Much for coming.I realy enjoyed myself Thank You.

Reading Challenge

For the past few days for reading we had to work collaboratively as a group to complete the task. First, our teacher told us nothing, instead of saying anything she wrote what she needed to say on her laptop, from there we worked as a group to figure out what to do. We first had to read a big book as a group and write what happened in the story in exact 25 words. Our next task was to fill in the blanks for these 2 other stories, the first one we got was slightly easy but the second one was slightly harder because it used harder words and it had an longer story. As we worked as a group we got the task finished and filled in all the gaps by trying it. We had to follow the instructions and understand the meaning of the story. We were learning to skim and scan so we could find the word that best fitted in the gap. I really enjoyed this task as we had to follow the instruction because it was an different way of doing the activity. Our learning intention was to follow instruction's and making sure we had to read for meaning and understanding.
