This week we have been given a task list to do with our partner. We have to complete a task and blog it. We decided to choose the alphabet key because we have many knowledge on this. We had to write author's names or a book title.

Reading Journey

Today we have created a DLO on the books we loved reading during school. We have chosen six books to show our reading journey and a description of why we loved the book. I have chosen : The Very Hungry Caterpillar, I Spy, Tashi, Goosebumps, Captain Underpants and Tom Gates. When I was three my favorite book use to be The Very Hungry Caterpillar. But know my favorite book series is Tom Gates, a comedy and adventure book.

Armistice Day Commemoration

Today Panmure Bridge held a commemoration for Armistice Day since it is on Sunday. Armistice day which is every year on November the 11th to mark and remember the sign between the Allies of World War 1 and when the gun fell silent. We celebrate this to remember those who fought for their country during World War  We were lucky to have a member from the NZ Defense Force. During this commemoration we I read the pray at the start of the commemoration, Tiava and Jeremiah (head boy and head girl) read the oath, and Ms Kirkpatrick (deputy principal) read In Flanders Field. During the commemoration we were silent for a minute to remember the soldiers who died during World War 1. There was also 3 olive tree to represent the past, present, and future. We also played the Last Post which is where we were silent for a minute. After our commemoration we had the member from the NZ defense fore speak to us. I learnt that we he was 19 he went to Afghanistan to help out the citizens of Afghanistan by looking after the schools, kids, and also the roads.

Tech - Graphics

This week for Tech we have finished our charity box. Today Mr Pineda which is our Tech teacher was not here so Mr Mackenzie-Brown ( Reliever )  came and helped us. We have created a charity box to represent what charity we chose.

Bridge Labeling

Today for inquiry we made our own version of the Panmure bridge on a google drawing. We labeled all of the different parts of the bridge and that are used to build the bridge. There are 4 different parts to the bridge that is the bridge deck so people and cars can go across the iron swing opens so the boats can get to the other side, abutment is to hold the iron swing and the piles holds the bridge deck and prevents it from collapsing. 

Spaghetti Bridge Building

For the last two weeks Miss Kirkpatrick Inquiry group has been building bridges out of spaghetti. This was a very fun and creative piece of work we have done this year. We would draw a type of bridge we would like to build with all the correct measurements. We would then be provided with : a packet of spaghetti, rubber bands and tape. We would use all the equipment to construct our bridge. Each spaghetti was around 25 centimeters so it would be difficult, what type of bridge it was and how long or tall it was. Once all the planing was done we would have to make the deck of the bridge. We would use the rubber bands to make the spaghetti stay in bundles of ten. After we have constructed our bridge we would use an S hook to hang bricks to test the stability and strength on the bridge. My groups bridge was able to withstand 6 bricks.

Duffy Assembly

Today it was special Duffy assembly at the hall. The thing that special about were Machel Mulipola came to our school and explaining about his job. The Michel Mulipola is the Samoan but New Zealand comic illustrator. He is not just illustrator he also semi professional gamer and wrestler. He is the comic books and school journey artist and illustrator. There are some Michel Mulipola's books at our school and it called Frogs. One of the thing that he told us was using our face and writing the characters emotion is easier.
