Brochure

LI: to create a collaborative brochure that tells others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp.

Over the last week, the students in LS2 have challenged themselves while participating in archery, high ropes, kayaking, raft building, camp cooking, pancake race and team building/orienteering.

Our group worked together to create a brochure that gives information and shows readers why Kokako Lodge is an amazing area to go camping.

We talked about the cabins, catering and the activities. The cabins are spacious and can hold up to 12 or 14 people per cabin. There is a large kitchen in the Kokako Lodge area and you can choose whether you would like to self-cater or receive food from caterers. 

I found this activity enjoyable because it required us to work as a team.

Camp Collage

LI: to create a collage of your camp highlights.

This week, we have been celebrating our camp. I created a collage which shows my time at camp. 

During camp, the teachers took photos of us doing our activities. I used the photos that I thought were the best and showed my highlights and added them to the collage. I thought about the size of the images and left no blank spaces.

I used a photo of our class at the Hunua waterfall in the middle to show who went as well as where our camp took place. The rest of the photos were my camp highlights and the things I enjoyed.

I found this activity pleasuring because I got to see all the types of activities I did and it showed the amount of fun I had during our camp journey.

Five Minutes of Camp

LI: to recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp.

Last week, LS2 went to camp at Kokako Lodge. The 5 minutes snapshot that I have written, shows my personal voice and my perspective of the activity I chose (High Beams). 

I have attempted to paint a picture of what I had done while attempting the activity. I made my 5 minute snapshot more interesting by describing my feelings during the activity. 

I hooked people in with my story by coming up with a good title that makes people want to read more of my story as well as describing the story using my thoughts at the time.

I found this activity fun because I got to write a recount about how I felt during the activity. 

Kokako Infographic

LI: to create an infographic using google draw that tells your audience facts about the kokako.

This week, LS2 has received a set of tasks to complete based around out camp for 2021. 

Using our smart searching skills, we found information about the North Island Kokako bird. A North Island Kokako is usually large and are blue. An interesting fact we have found about the Kokako bird is that they can only fly 100 metres.

To see if the information we have gathered is true and reliable, we linked three different sources that have almost the same information about the Kokakos.

I found this activity enjoyable and interesting because I found out more information about Kokakos. 

Tech Reflection

LI: to improve our cooking skills.

This week we were learning how to cook Saagwala. Saagwala is an indian type of curry which has the option of adding meat or no meat. 

First, in our groups of three, we collected our materials for our cooking. We needed a medium bowl, two knives, two measuring cups, a wooden spoon, a pot, two cutting boards and large spoon. 

After that, we gathered our ingredients. The ingredients were: two tablespoons of oil, one teaspoon of ginger, a small onion, two cloves of garlic, curry powder and masala, half a can of tomatos, salf, yogurt and spinach. 

First, we added the oil and ginger in our pot. I diced the onions and garlic into small cubes. Then we fried the onion, garlic and ginger with the oil on the stove.

Next, we added the powders into our mix and diluted that with half a cup of water to prevent stickiness. After mixing the ingredients together, we added the spinach. We let the spinach shrink and it ended up becoming a paste.

Lastly, we got some sticky rice and topped it off with our curry paste. 

I enjoyed this week's meal and would make it again at home. 

Uniform Etiquettes

LI: to understand the uniform etiquettes.

Uniforms are the pieces of clothing which identify what/who you represent. 

This task was based around understanding the basic uniform rules, what we can wear and what we can't wear. First, Mrs Fisi'iahi explained the uniform etiquette during school. 

After that, we talked to our friends about what we should wear and shouldn't wear as well as the uniform rules. 

Lastly, we used our knowledge to create a Google Presentation that explains what the uniform standards are at PBS. 

Celebrating the Summer Learning Journey

LI: to celebrate our PBS Summer Learning Journey participants. 

The Summer Learning Journey is a program which helps students keep their academic level the same or furthermore; higher, during the holiday period. This helps students to keep up with the knowledge they have learned during their school time. It is fun and offers a great opportunity to improve your knowledge.

The activities that were set for us were from Nano Girl. As a celebration for this accomplishment, we got certificates and some people in our class got prizes. Mrs Grant and Miss Paleti presented the prizes and certificates at our school assembly.

Panmure Bridge School kept up their status as the top blogging school in the country for the sixth time. We all very much enjoyed the activities set for us and keeping our learning going over summer. 

Congratulations Sakshi for being the PBS top blogger, top commenter and the top blogger for the Maniakalani Cluster. This is a very good accomplishment for you!
