School Cross Country

Yesterday PBS school went across to the Mt Wellington war memorial park and had school cross country. The weather for us was a bit unlucky because it was raining for a bit of the day but we still encouraged the little kids to run. The day was awesome having everyone fight for their life and wanting to come first second or third. At the end of the day everyone had fun and at least tried their best. Thanks to Mr Ogilvie for making this happen and setting out the course

Reading:Main Idea

This week for learning was reading a book called When I grow up and it is about a boy who gets chased by bullies and while he was getting chased by bullies he thinks about what he want to be. When he climbs the tree he says that when he grows up he wants to be a mountaineer because he is good at climbing. When he gets rescued by fire-fighters he says that he wants to be a fire-fighter.

Maths

Today for maths we did subtraction,decimals and addition. We started off with a warm up game hit the button. Then we completed a list of questions from one to thirty and then once we were finished we could log on to Sum-dog and play some maths games. Today I learnt something new and that is how to work out decimals and subtractions questions easier and faster. I got stuck on some of he questions but at the end I worked it out and go them right.

Read-Theory

This year our class has been using a site called Read-Theory and we read for 20 minutes. It helps us understand the story that we are reading. It helps us understand the text it helps us think about what the question is asking us to do it also helps us practice looking back at a text to find information. Read-Theory helps us find key information about the story and go back and answer the question. It has different levels all kinds of people and if you get the questions all right you get points and you move to different levels.

Sketch note DLO

These picture show what our class has been doing for the past week we have learnt a new skill called sketch note. It doesn't have to make sense for other people it just has to make sense for you. Helps you tell a learning story in your own laps. Helps you listen and stay focus. helps you make connections. Instead of writing big long sentences we can draw picture to make it easier for us.
