Visit to the Fire Station


On Tuesday Panmure Bridge School walked up to the Mt Wellington Fire Station. When we first arrived there, we asked questions. We learnt that if you call an ambulance there is a fair chance a fire truck might show up before an ambulance, but that is okay because they are first responders and know what to do. We then went outside look what things a fire truck has. They explained to us that when people are stuck in vehicles, the firemen cut/destroy the vehicle to get the person out. One thing that I learnt was that you should always have fire alarms in you house.

Fire Station Summary

I have created a DLO explaining how the fire service helps our community with my group: Tai, Sa Kae, Calvin and Ma'ata. The first thing we did write down 20 important words then choose 6 from the 20 words.

My Explanation

How Children Learn at School

Have you ever wondered how children learn? In this explanation we are explaining; how children listen and watch, how children agree and disagree with each other and how children have their own opinion and questions.

Children listen and watch their friends to learn. Firstly children (watch) look at their friend for an example. Secondly they listen, for an example from the teacher or friends.

Children have an opinion and also ask questions. When it’s reading children have a opinion of their book that they are reading. Sometimes when reading a book they have questions about it.

Children give feedback and feedforward to each other, they also talk to each other this is a learning conversation. Feedback and feedforward is one of the main things that children learn to do in reading a writing.

Children learn in many different ways. The point of this explanation was to give examples of the learning that children do.

For this task we were working in partners to write an explanation. Some of the great feedback and feed forward they were; Very clear message and use a bit more punctuation. I really enjoyed this task and revisiting a structure of a explanation.

Using Screencatify



Last week LS2 got to learn about how to create a screen cast with Mrs Grant. We firstly made our scripts and made sure we had all our tabs that are needed open. Next we clicked on the screencastify extension and clicked record. I had to make voice really clear and easy to hear. I think the screencastify extension is really easy to use.

Our third game was against Glen Innes this was a really close game but they won 12 -10. I thought this game was really awesome I was running on the side line and no one got me. Our last game was against Tamaki Primary. As soon as the game started the scored a try. During the whole game we started to give up, I think that this day was really awesome because we all were trying our best.

I can't wait to take part in the Summer Learning Journey. I would like to say thank you to Rachel and her team for blogging with us during the holidays.

Tech


Today at tech, most of the year 8's have started to paint our designs. Before we were up to do that, we had to draw our design, then laser cut the design. I really like that everyone has finished their design and are up to painting. Next week most of us are up to doing our second coat of paint. I think that this will be really fun.
