PBS Blogging Journey

For this activity I had to find out the minimum height for the stratosfear, then give a reason why I think there is a height restriction. There are two modes to the stratosfear: the less extreme (45 degree swing angle) and the very extreme (360 degree swing angle). Here are the height restrictions:

Less Extreme height restriction

130 cm to go on this mode

Very Extreme height restriction

150 cm to go on this mode

I think there is a height restriction because your seat belt might be loose and you could fall off and being able to reach the height restriction could prevent you from hazards similar to that.

PBS Blogging Journey

Did you know if you buy Rainbow's End tickets online they are cheaper? This is my first activity for our PBS Blogging Journey. For this activity I had to locate where Rainbow's End is on Google Maps, how much it costs for a family pass and how much it would cost for my family to go there. I found this activity harder than I thought. I think that because the website they have is hard to use. 

PBS Production 60th

This year is Panmure Bridge's 60th year. There were a lot of items to perform. I was in I See Red and the Pasifika group. I was very nervous on both of the items, especially for I See Red because I was in the front row. I think I performed really well for I See Red but I think I could do better for Pasifika. I am proud to be in this School and be able to celebrate this year by performing in a production. 

Kiwi Can - Activities

Today for Kiwi Can we had different activities. Our energiser was turning something into real life. By that I mean we had an object in the middle and we had to think of things we could do with it, e.g use it as a steering wheel (we had a hula hoop in the middle). Our next activity was tap soccer. We had to tap the ball with our hands and try to get it in the goals. The last activity we did was netball, but there was a twist. We had to make the ball touch the grass before we pass. The game I enjoyed most was tap soccer.

Food Advertisment

This week LS2 has been focusing on advertisements. Our task was to create a poster pointing out the things they include to make us want to buy their product. For example, ice cream brands like Trumpet make their product look bigger. For trumpet they make the boysenberry fill up a quarter of the ice cream, when in reality there is barely any boysenberry.  

Scale drawing

 LS2 has been focusing on the scale drawings  We first had to choose an image that we were going to draw. I chose to do a pirate. Next we had to make a grid on top of the picture. I found drawing the grids the hardest because I am really bad at using rulers. After that we made an enlargement of our Scale Drawing. I enjoyed doing this activity last year and I am glad to do it again this year.

PBS Cross Country

Last week our school went down to Dunkirk park for our school Cross Country. The year seven's and eights had to run five laps. There were two hills that we had to get run up. It really tough, but I managed to complete it. The first three runners make it into the interschool. AJ and Daniel both tied at first place and Te wai placed second/third.
