UV Light test with Zally

L.I: To design an inquiry to test predictions on effective UV filters.

This week LS2 has been trialing the electronic sensors for the Kiwrious experiment. Yesterday a few visitors, Suranga, Sonia, Evan, Dawn, and Yvonne from AHL at Auckland university came to our class room to conduct this for our reading/inquiry. This used censors, light, and our devices. The most effective filter the data shows from the green cellphone and paper tissue I tested today was the paper tissue that showed lower UV light index numbers as low as 0.1.

Rythm Interactive's visit to PBS

This week on Tuesday, our school had a visit from Johnny again from Rhythm Interactive. Most of the seniors we're here on their first visit, where the Theme was still the same. Everyone in the hall was given a drum in front of them, and the LS2 especially was helping guide the Juniors through the act. We patted on Djeme's, following/repeating the beat Johnny played. We sang an interesting song as well, which translated to mean "Together we can make a change". This inspiring song, and wonderful play entertained everyone. As a great way to end the visit, Johnny donated 7 drums for the school! It was a fun experience doing this again, and an event everyone took part in, even teachers. Our head leaders, helped express all of our appreciation in a few words in which he greatly loved.

This vs That

L.I: To find out different information and facts about the Olympics.

This week for inquiry, we had to create a DLO showing information and facts about the Olympics and our school PBS. We needed to work in pairs, but I worked in a group of 3 with Farzana and Sakina. We needed to find and write the Olympic motto then the PBS motto, the Olympic creed then the PBS Whakatauki, the Olympic flag then the PBS Logo and lastly the Olympic values and the PBS values. We were able to find out all of the information for each of the questions. The connecting between our school values and Olympic values are how we also have respect, excellence in our values and also friendship is something we all know and follow at school. The connection between the Olympic flag, and our school logo is that they both represent something that has to do with what it is and it's location, like with the Olympic flag, the rings represents different contenets and the PBS logo represents how we are near to the panmure bridge. The connecting with the creed and our school Whakatauki, they both are encouraging and motivating you to do something that has to do with whatever it is. Lastly with Motto's, they both also have something to do with what the things are about like with the strive to achieve motto, they talk about strive to achieve in learning and with the faster, higher, stronger motto they are kind of talking about your capabilities and your skills and how it takes a lot of training.
