Summer Learning

Canada 

I chose Canada because I would really like to visit the country because it seems very cultural. I would like to visit the different landmarks in Canada because they look very different to the New Zealand landmarks. I would also like to visit Canada because of the attractive scenic.  

2016 LS2 Collage

This is a collage that Zahra, Zeba and I made showcasing our year at Panmure Bridge School. This reflection is based around LS2's 2016 learning journey. This collage has LS2 students receiving care awards, the Tahuna Torea trip, and working collaboratively. 

Labyrinth

This week, we were focusing on film study on Labyrinth. Labyrinth is a movie that was released on 1986 from David Bowie, a famous singer/song-writer that passed away recently this year (10/1/2016). We focused on the character development, narrative structure, and the clues that were given in Sarah's room. 

Completing my Goals

These were the goals I set up for myself in term three or at the start of term four. This was for my excellence and innovation. I tried so hard to achieve them this whole term, and I finally have. I have recently posted 400 blog posts in total, and have approximately 50 blog posts for this term. I have also presented, I presented the Library trip the librarians of Panmure Bridge school went to. I have also read three novels, this was also a task from my excellence and innovation CARE badge, I made a book review for the three books for proof that I have read them. Next year, I hope I have bigger goals. 

Head Girl Speeches

Thank you for nominating me for such a prestigious role in Panmure Bridge. As you may know, my name is Nazella. Being a leader of Panmure Bridge school has been my goal ever since I saw Fine presenting on stage, I have been nominated for being head girl and believe that I will make a perfect head leader. But what entitles me to this position, you may ask?

I am confident, hard-working and passionate girl ,with an aim to not only drive forward, but to ensure that my fellow peers are driving with me to a journey to greatness. I mean, isn’t that what this school looks towards, ‘striving to achieve?’ More of my qualities important for the role of head leader include determination, an attribute that I have adopted or learned over my many years in Panmure Bridge School. Think about it, you wouldn’t want a leader to perform a poor job and surrender half way there? Would you?

To me, given the title of ‘leader’ does not mean to just be named, no. But to guide people through their learning journey.

Being a leader of Panmure Bridge school means representing our school with a high standard. I am a confident girl that wears our school uniform with pride. As a leader, I will also remember to always fulfil my responsibilities and to look after you, no matter what race, gender, size or age you are! Respecting teachers, visitors, students and the school is my main priority, whether I’m leader or not. This year I have participated in kiwi sport and made sure that everyone was encouraged and that they were doing the right thing. I motivated them so that they never felt discouraged and that they don’t think that they aren’t a worthy player.

Whatever happens, I will always be respectful and follow our CARE values. Being leader is a big opportunity and is a massive deal to me. If I do make the position, I will fulfil all the responsibilities and always have a smile on my face. Please, consider me as your vote, I promise I won’t let you down.

This year I have been nominated for head girl. This week the leader nominations wrote a speech about why they should be in the position of being a student leader in Panmure Bridge school. Today we said our speeches infront of LS2. I was nervous but tried my hardest when it was my turn. All of the eyes of LS2 were looking at me, but I still recited my speech. I mumbled a few times, but tried to focus on the speech. I then remembered that this was my goal for over 1/2 years, so I tried harder and harder to focus and recite the speech more confidently. After all the speeches were done, the student leaders and the year 7's then voted. 

Procedural Writing about Straw Rockets

Last week on Friday, LS2 went to Tamaki College to make paper models and straw models of rockets. We first made straw rockets using two pieces of straw, one thick one thin, sellotape, scissors and rocket fins (paper). I had to write in procedural writing the steps.
