People Power Maths Problem

Today for maths our LI: was, Formula for finding a percentage using a calculator.

 This is an animation Fraidoon and I made about the Winter solstice and how the seasons work. We made this DLO for the Matariki celebration about the seven stars or nine because now they believe that there are 9 sisters. Matariki is around the time of the winter solstice so it is kind of New Zealands winter solstice celebration.

Blackout day at PBS

Today was blackout day so everyone came in either black or red clothing depending on what team they were supporting and to celebrate PBS did a lot of cool things which started at 1:30 this afternoon. First we went inside the hall to sing Tu Tere Mai. After that the kapa haka group did the haka led by AJ and they did a great job. Also we went out to the field and spelt out ALL BLACKS and Mr Wong flew a drone over us and took a photo. last but not least the whole school got into a cricle around the court and we passed a ball around to everyone.
