In Inquiry LS2 has made slides of how we respect the Treaty of Waitangi and how we feel about it. We respect the Treaty of Waitangi by joining kapa haka and expressing your culture and learning te reo. And another good way to respect the Treaty of Waitangi is to show your culture.

For this task group 2 made a DLO of how to do multiplication. We gave the information of how to do multiplication. This was the information that we gave.

Put the equation in the right formation. (To the right)
Times the 9 to all top number
Add the answers of the times to the bottom.
Add a placeholder when multiplying the 2 due to it being the second number.
Multiply all top numbers and add answers to the bottom.
Add both of the answers and there’s your answer!

Add leftovers to the next top number. Times it normally then add the leftover number. Repeat with any leftovers. (If no more numbers are to the side js add it to the answers.)

Cross out anything that is used or useless.

We are reading the book ‘Diary of Anne Frank’. Mrs Anderson created a Gemini Gem to prompt us to think more deeply about what life would have been like in the annex, what we felt and why we felt that way.

I enjoyed using the Gem because it helped me improve my grammar, and gave me constructive criticism also giving ideas on how to make the words have more feel and emotion towards them at the same time. Gem also helped with my self esteem by giving me compliments on what I did good.

Here is a text I wrote in minutes, the bold words are the words we were required to use.

During the year of 1942 Jewish people in Amsterdam were seen as “not human” so they had to hide from German police officers in a place named an annex to avoid being put in a concentration camp. Some people like Anne Frank used a diary to prove how hard the Germans were making their lives.

The annex (a secret hiding place for the Jewish people) was quiet except for the not very silent creaking wooden planks beneath their feet. The reason they had to hide during World War 2 (1942) was because the Germans persecuted them because of their religion. The annex was pretty basic but had a very unique and complex entry, although inside it was very cramped, but one girl by the name of Anne Frank entered a lot of valuable information into her diary that helped us understand the life these people would’ve been living in an annex.

This week LS2 has been working on our vision board’s, a vision board is a goal you have to work to in order by order. for example this year I wanted to gain more confedince and get more friends. for this to happen I have to ask questions present more work to the class, try make it in to glendowi college and hopefully it will make my confidence go up but next year.

Kia ora, my name is Kendric and this year is my last year at Panmure Bridge School. I’m really excited about what I’m going to learn this year. My hobbies are going out with friends and playing football at school. My goal for this year is to gain more confidence and participate in different activities.

For this year’s Summer Learning Journey LS2 made 3 blogs about the different activity’s about the Summer Learning Journey. For this task we had to make a customized leg for an elephant called Mosha

For this years SUmmer Learning Journey LS2 created facts about centipedes. these questions were just about how much legs they have, how much speieces there are and also some maths questions.

In LS2 we have been making Diorama’s about different moments in time, i have done Titanic because i wanted to know why the titanic hit the iceberg. After we finished the diorama our teacher took a photo of our work and we started blogging, this task took around 2 weeks to finsish and the materials were easy to use.
