Well done to everyone who participated in our Athletics day for 2019. There were many exciting events including a sausage sizzle and a 100 metre Sprints in the afternoon. What was your favourite event?

Here are some highlights from our 2019 Athletics Day. Well done to everyone who participated - Ka rawe! What was your favourite event?

Room 4 have been learning tennis skills this term. Our tennis instructor Pete has taught us how to hold our tennis racket and hit the ball over the net. We are also learning how to serve the ball over the net. When you serve you need to hit the ball across the court diagonally. Now that we know lots of the basic skills we will be able to have a rally. A rally is when you hit the ball over the net back and fourth with your partner.

Room 4 wanted to teach Stan walker how to make a delicious healthy homemade meal so he didn't need to order Uber Eats all the time. Eating fast food can get expensive and it isn't as healthy as eating a home cooked meal. Students researched how to make pizza dough and then shared the recipe with the class. Then we invented our own different pizza toppings. Our teacher encouraged us to try some toppings that we'd never tried before like mushrooms, parsley and pineapple. We hope Stan enjoyed seeing how we Learn, Create, and Share here in Room 4, at Panmure Bridge School. See our student blogs for pizza recipe ideas:  Student Blogs Link

Today Room 4 picked up rubbish around our school. We discovered there was a lot of plastic, paper, foil, and cardboard rubbish around the Junior playground and on the field. If we didn't pick it up it might blow out to sea and hurt sea creatures. Our school is also home to birds and insects and rubbish isn't good for them either. We sorted the waste into groups on a graph. The graph showed us that we have way too much foil and plastic rubbish. Sadly the plastic and foil wrappers are coming from us humans. They come from the food in our lunchboxes because the factories wrap all the food in plastic and foil and then we buy it from the supermarket. When we don't put the wrappers in the rubbish it is called littering. What can we do at PBS and at home to help fix this problem?

Room 4 designed and constructed some crazy shoes as part of our Technology Inquiry. We wanted to show them off on the cat walk. Thanks Room 2 for coming along and modelling some of our wacky shoes and being a great audience. Which shoes are your favourite? Where would you wear them?
