Production 2017


Last night my school Panmure Bridge had a production because we were celebrating the 60th year since this school has been open which is a very long time. To celebrate each class room had a dance that was from the past to this year. We also had our Pacifica group and Kapa Haka preform.  It was really fun but hard at the same time because we had to run up and down to change customs but we all managed to get on stage at the right time.


The Princess Bride - Shot Types


For the past week, our class was focusing on a film study about "The Princess Bride". We had to choose one of the activities we had completed, to post. This DLO is about  about the movie "The Princess Bride".

Kiwi Can


Today was our last session for kiwi can for term 3. We were split into 4 groups and we played objects. We then went outside and played hand soccer. We had to get the ball to our goal using our hands. We were numbered and when our number was called out we had to run and get the ball to our goal. 

Cross Country


Today we had cross country fun run. We ran 4 laps around our course. This helped us with our endurance because we had practises to help us with our pace and how to run. I think this run was really  hard and challenging because you had to run up a hill quite a few times and it was muddy through the fields. I worked hard to came 2nd for our school and I came 5th for inter school

Two Word Sentences

In writing we had a look at two word sentences, two word sentences are simple sentences. Using the simple sentence we added in FANBOYS which makes it a complex sentence which joins two simple sentences or ideas together with a connective. Using the complex sentence we used AAWWUIBBIS to make it a compound sentence. 

Tamaki Overdrive











Using the Tamaki overdrive we selected a book to read from a wide variety of non-fiction, fiction, mystery and suspense and more.Description about the Wednesday Wars is In this Newbery Honor-winning novel, Gary D. Schmidt offers an unforgettable antihero. The Wednesday Wars is a wonderfully witty and compelling story about a teenage boy's mishaps and adventures over the course of the 1967 to 68 school year in Long Island, New York. Meet Holling Hoodhood, a seventh-grader at Camillo Junior High, who must spend Wednesday afternoons with his teacher, Mrs. Baker, while the rest of the class has religious instruction. Mrs. Baker doesn't like Holling—he's sure of it. Why else would she make him read the plays of William Shakespeare outside class? But everyone has bigger things to worry about, like Vietnam. His father wants Holling and his sister to be on their best behavior: the success of his business depends on it
