Today, we focused identify elements of a quality comment. These elements include a Greeting, an introduction, a positive and specific reply to the Authors blog. Adding a thoughtful or helpful comment can add to our reply. We may not have all of the elements in our comment. One skill we used was to take a screen shot and rotate the annotated labels into place.
Today, we have been creating a comment card for our Families to leave a comment on our blogs. Two skills we learnt today, creating a QR code and inserting a blog link. Helpful tip, start with a specific and positive comment.
We have been learning to make a digital life in google video.
My favourite tool in google videos is transition it makes the slides look more captivating and it has different types of transitions you could use.
when creating a Google video I recommend you use the music audio that you can find in stock and web because it can make your slides more interesting.
Here is a video of LS1 and LS2 performing a siva to a medley of Samoan songs by Wayno. We had lots of fun learning the meanings behind the different actions and lyrics in the song. Thanks to Mrs Anderson for recording our siva.
As part of our Inquiry focus on “Cultures”, LS1 has explored the art and measina of ‘tatau’ in the Samoan culture. We learnt specifically about Samoan malofie – which is mostly to do with the male pe’a, and the female tattoo the malu. LS1 was quite interested in the legend of how the tatau came to be in Samoa today. We analysed and translated the song ‘Pese O Le Tatau’ by Junior Soqeta in poetry, then each chose a line to illustrate for art. Our illustrations were then put together in the movie below. Enjoy!
This term, Panmure Bridge School’s inquiry topic is : Cultures. As part of exploring this topic, we have been talking about migration and how we came to be in New Zealand. If you visit our classroom, you will be able to read the different migration stories of our families. In addition to writing down our stories, Darius decided to interview his mum, who migrated to New Zealand. Here is the film he made for this task :
This week at Panmure Bridge School is Respect Week! LS1 has made a music video to the song ‘Treat Her Like a Lady’ by The Temptations.This song is about showing respect and kindness to others, especially women, by treating them with care. We can take the phrase “treat her like a lady” as a reminder that we should treat everyone with respect, no matter who they are. Respect is about listening, being kind, and showing others that we value them. We hope you enjoy our video and remember to always show respect to those around you.
Amorangi and Valencia have worked hard to present to you : Episode 1 of LS1’s “Read Some Books”!
