Panmure Library: Stig - Afu

Last week on Friday LS2, LS1, and rm 5 went down to Panmure library to see Stig Wemyss. Stig is a voice artist for the Andy Griffiths books, he talked to us about the borrow box app, the borrow box is an app that you can borrow a book and listen to it. Stig was hooking us in with his funny humour, he asked some people to come up, and when they were going up they would get prizes. When he finished doing some activitys he read a book. After that he played one last game called chubby bubby, Latham and I went up. I could only fit 7 marshmallows in my mouth but I won and got a prize. When we finished we got he signature on a little green paper. If you want to know more about him here is the sight - Stig Wemyss

Inquiry: Modern and Ancient Olympics - Afu, Charlize, Nazanin, Viva

Last week and this week we had a new rotation for inquiry, we were with Mrs Naiker for Ancient and Modern Olympics. I created this Google slides with Charlize, Viva and Nazanin. In this google slides it shows prior knowledge, attribute images, Note Taking, Venn diagram, A-Z Modern and Ancient Olympics, Olympic games, and kahoot quiz. My favourite challenge was the A-Z Modern and Ancient Olympics because it was challenging trying to think of some a-z Olympic games, and we could not use the internet. I really enjoyed doing this inquiry because it was fun and challenging.

Reading: Word clines - Afu and Jasmine

Today I created a Google slides with Jasmine about word clines. Word clines is a ladder of words that are for year 1's then it keeps on going and turns into powerful words like for year 8's or year 9's. I enjoyed doing this because it was challenging to change a simple word into a powerful word.

Sketch note

This week for reading we had to do a sketch note about The Sons of Ma'afu. The sons of Ma'afu is a traditional story from Tonga, and it is retold by Feana Tu'akoi. This is a sketch note retold in my own words, and it has pictures and what the pictures are of. I enjoyed doing this sketch note because it took time and I got to put it in my own words. 

Maths

This morning for maths we done a warm up 30 questions and we had to answer them all, we were doing basic fact questions.Then after that we had to do a follow up it was about finding the place value in decimals, We had to answer 14 questions. I found it easy because we were learning about place value in decimals this week. I really enjoy doing maths because it is sometimes easy and sometimes challenging.

Read theory

This term we went on to a new site, it is called read theory. This morning we had to do read 20 on read theory, on the site it has a small text and you have to answer some questions. This helps people read the questions carefully, when you answer all of the questions it will tell you what you need to do better when you answer the questions. If you answer all of them all write you will get points, if you get them all wrong you will go down a level.

Sketch Note - Afu

Last week on Friday Mrs Anderson taught us about sketch notes. Sketch notes are a better way than listing things, its better than writing about 3 paragraphs, it can help you understand the learning, it helps you tell others a learning story by putting it into your own words, and it will make you stay focused and listen. Our topic was questions because we already knew about questions. In the photo is a sketch note about questions, it has the 6 w's (what,when,where,who,why,which), and it has words turned into pictures. I found sketch notes useful because it helps me with my learning and it can help me stay focused.I really enjoyed learning about sketch notes because it can help me in my learning.

Cross Country Training

This term LS1 & LS2 have been doing cross country training with Mr Ogilvie. These are some photos from Monday, we had to warm up before we ran so that we can be warm not cold. We had to pace our self's so that we don't get tired at the end, and we will be able to sprint at the end. We had to do about 5-6-7 laps around the school. I chose to do five laps because it was to tiring to do 6 or 7. I enjoy doing cross country training.
