Quizizz

Today LS2 was playing Quizizz. Quizizz is a maths website where you have a competition between your class mates. We had to pair up in partners so we could work together. For this website the teachers have to create a quiz and we complete it in an amount of time. We were practicing our times tables. I was practicing my basic facts a swell because I wanted to get faster and faster. For the first round I came 7th as I kept on playing I came 5th and for the last round I improved so much that I cam e3rd. I paired up with Silivia. This is a fun way to practice your times tables, fractions, decimals, timetables and excetra. I learnt how to do some of my 9x because of this game. I really think this can help me with my maths, because I can remember my basic facts and helps me remember all my times tables.

Library Visit

On Friday the senior school from Panmure Bridge School went down to the library to meet a narrator that reads Andy Griffins books. Everyone got hooked in for what he was saying because  he had an funny entrance when he came in. I also got hooked in because he used lots of expression which made us all want to listen. He was talking to us about how he became a narrator and how reading made him become an actor. We played an warm up game which was called sausages. The aim of this game was to say sausages to everything he said. He also told us that we could use the borrow box which is a website where you could borrow books from the local library for free. 

Word Study Challenge

Today I completed a word study challenge. I had to read an article  and find 3 interesting words and write the meaning , a picture to show the words meaning, the interesting word in a sentence, and a synonym. I read 3 article and these were the words I found out. The most interesting word I found out was stench. It means  a very strong unpleasant smell. 

Scavenger Hunt

Today I completed one of the Can Do's. For this Can Do I had to go on a scavenger hunt. First I had to read an artcle and answer the following items above. My favourite one I did was the one I had to write an interesting fact. The artcle I read was called Banana's may be extinct from kiwi kids news. I think it was informing us because it was telling us that banana's may be extinct in 5-10 year. If you want to find out why, go on the kiwi kids news to find out more about it. 

Decimals - Maths

Today for maths we were learning how to recognize decimals and how to order decimals. We were recognizing decimals by using fractions to help us. ( e.g : 0.5 would be 5/10 in a fraction ) We practiced ordering decimals on a online worksheet which we had to read the question and solve it out in our maths book. I was also learning the places for the decimals. I really liked learning about decimals because I was learning something new and it links to fractions which could also help me with fractions.   e.g : 5/10 will be 0.5 as in a decimal because the 5 means 5 tens. 

Read Theory

Today, I went on Read theory as part of my read 20. For this website they give you some short and long stories and we have to answer the question. You can also view what grade you are and how many points you have at the moment. Here are some screenshots of my progress on Read Theory. This website helps you understand the text and helps you answer the questions correctly.  

Sketch - Note

This week we got introduced to sketch note. We did sketch note because it helps us understand the learning because we are writing it in our own words and writing it how we want to. When doing a sketch note, we can use anything including, bullet points, arrows, stick people, block writing, upper case letters mixed with lowercase and many more. For this, you can even use an actual bullet for the bullet points or use stars, circles, triangles, squares or anything. We first tried out sketch note on Monday and did our sketch note about question ( The one in the middle ).  I used picture and words to tell a story about question and why we ask them. Sketch note helps you tell a learning story that helps you understand the facts in your own way instead of writing facts about the subject and no understanding it. My second attempt of sketch note was on Rio De Janeiro .  My other attempt was on Olympic medals.

Cross Country Training

For the past few days LS1 and LS2 have been doing some cross country training to help us prepare for our real cross country coming up next week. Every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday all of us would all get ready and do some stretches before running. Some tips Mr Ogovly  told us was, run at a good pace and then sprint it to the finish line, breath in with your nose and breath our with your mouth open making a "o " shape. The first week we did this we started off with 1 lap and went higher as we got use to running. I think this will help us prepare for the real cross country training.
