Accenture trip June 2018

• Write a paragraph to describe your trip to Accenture today.

Today 10KHm and 10RMcn had the opportunity to spend the day at Accenture and got to experience many things.
We got to experience what it's like to do coding, we also got to see what it's like using the virtual reality. We did a quiz
on Kahoot at the end to see what we had learnt during the day.

• Write 2-3 sentences to explain your favourite parts of the day

Overall today was fun and there were a few highlights of today. One of them would be listening/ learning about them.
Also another part of the day that i enjoyed was the game of Kahoot at the end. Although i had been coming last
in the beginning, as we answered the questions i started to get to the top 5. The game ended and i ended up coming
3rd, for that i got a bottle and virtual reality glasses.

Here’s what the parties will do about SCHOOLS!

Party	1	2	3	Comments
A	Increase teacher salaries and introduce performance pay	Open more charter schools	Increase funding for private schools
B	Hold an education hui to develop a 30 year education plan	Replace National Standards with individualised assessment	Place at-risk young people with the army for job training
C	Provide all students with personalised career advice and classes on practical life skills and civics	Provide schools with $150 per student if they do not ask for parental donations	Pay for mobile digital devices for students

F	Fund schools enough for education to be free	Guarantee children the right to be educated at their local school	Make it safer for children to walk and cycle to school
G	Reduce assessment in schools	Stop publishing school results	Improve coordination between the health and education systems for people with special needs
My vote would be for: I strongly disagree that Party A is for Education. Every child, should have to rights to be able to walk to school with a parent or a caregiver. It is also safe for every young child. I also believe that every child should have to rights to attend into an after school programme if it’s their choice. For parent’s who are struggling to get their children into school, It should be free. No paying fee’s once a month/year. It should all be free. Every child shouldn’t enter into danger. Parent’s should be waiting for their children after school so they can take their kids safely home..

Here’s what the parties will do about HOUSING

Party	1	2	3	Comments:
A	Stop the sale of state houses	Build at least 1,000 state houses each year until demand is met	Develop a national strategy for ending homelessness
B	Build 5,200 new social homes in Auckland	Continue to fund community-based housing initiatives to prevent homelessness	Continue to sell state houses to non government housing providers
C	Stop the sale of state houses	Support local councils to provide more pensioner housing	Require councils to have a social housing plan
D	Build 450 more state houses	Stop the sale of state houses	Build 5,000 homes to sell to non-government housing providers
E	Aim to end homelessness by 2020	Establish a Minister for Māori and Pasifika Housing	Build 90,000 houses by 2022 for social housing and private sale
F	Gift state houses to non-government housing providers	Review accommodation support payments	-
G	No policies found
My vote would be for: I strongly agree with party vote E. I strongly believe that the people who are homeless should be staying in a house by 2020. I strongly agree with it because with people who can’t access into anything should always have a roof under their head. People should stop being selfish and think about others. We are all equal and we are made from 1 creator. I simply believe that everyone has the rights to have a roof under their heads. Even if they don’t have the money to buy anything, everyone should be able to do everything and anything. The Government should build houses for those who are living in the streets.

Here’s what the parties will do about HEALTH

Party	1	2	3	Comments
A	Remove GST from milk and fresh fruit and vegetables	Increase funding for clean drinking water projects in isolated Māori communities	Halve power bills for households with rheumatic fever
B	Ban junk food advertising	Require schools to have healthy eating policies	Raise the drinking age to 20
C	Review the accessibility of safe spaces in communities for exercise and play	Review the accessibility of affordable healthy foods	-
D	Make it safer for children to walk and cycle to school	Introduce a warrant of fitness scheme for rental homes	Tax sugary drinks
E	Introduce enforceable quality standards for rental housing	Implement a plan to reduce childhood obesity	Aim to end HIV in New Zealand by 2025
F	Work towards NZ being smokefree by 2025	Continue to implement a plan to reduce childhood obesity	Allow DHBs to fluoridate drinking water
G	Reduce tobacco tax
My vote would be for: I Strongly agree with Party E. The reason why I pick Party E is because I think it would be a good idea to make the rent houses more comfortable and warm for the renters, and it would be good if the houses has good quality, because there would be a chance of people paying it to the full price because of the Quality. I also agree to end HIV in by 2025 because no one would want a disease to catch themselves.

LS2 2016 - By Tiare

Here is a Collage of LS2 2016. The year has been fun as a year 8, and I will remember all the memories of Panmure Bridge School, and look back on everything I did. I achieved one of my goals this term, and it is to build my confidence. I think my confidence will grow more and more when I am at year 9. Throughout the year there has been some up's and down's, but most importantly we got threw it and changed our ways. The thing I liked most about this year was learning important things that most people don't know about, working collaboratively with people I usually don't work with and having fun. This year has been a great year for me and I can't wait to go to college and use the things that I learnt during the years I have been at Panmure Bridge School. 

Straw Rocket Fair Test - By Tiare & Mishaan

On Friday we went to Tamaki College for the hole day. First half we did our normal tech then we had morning tea. After we had morning tea we went into Mr Dunn classroom and he showed us video clips of rockets take off. After we watched the video clips we started by getting the equipment to make the straw rockets and clicked on the video of how to make it. After we made the straws we went outside and there was a measuring tape lied out on the ground so when we blow on the straw the rocket will release and the place it lands it will be marked and put in our results. 

Tahuna Torea - By Juanita & Tiare

Here is a Film about the Tahuna Torea trip that Juanita and I created. For the past few weeks we have been learning about God-wits migrating to New Zealand. God-wits/Kuaka Bird come to New Zealand to have a rest and when the time comes they will migrate to another country. The Kuaka Bird migrates to places because of low food sources/refueling stops. Everyone had lots of fun and learnt interesting stuff about the Kuaka Bird/God-wit. 

Multimodal Reading - By Tiare

 Today we did Reciprocal Reading, about Kuaka Birds/God Wits. What we had to do was, go to the story "The Marathon Bird".  After that we had to pick a leader for the my group, the first group leader was Sebastian. First we had to make a prediction of what's going to happen, next we had to clarify which means we had to ask if there was words we were unsure with, then we had to ask questions about the story. The last thing we had to do was summarize so we had to summarize the story of what happened. Then we would from there we would pick another leader but it would go anticlockwise.
