Panmure Library

On Friday room Ls1 and Ls2 went down to the library. We met a enthusiastic man called Stig Wemyss. He is a voice artist and is the narrator for andy griffins books. He really hooked us in because he talked in a loud voice and was a confident speaker. Stig picked out people to do the awesome challenges and if you completed them you earn a prize. He was telling the funniest jokes and questions.  I was chosen and i had to play a game with stig called sausage. Before me there were people going up to try the game and win a prize but they kept laughing and lost. The rules were simple, he would ask me a question and my my answers had to be sausage. No laughing and no grinning. I accepted the challenge continued on. His questions were really hard to not laugh at, but I tried my best not to laugh or grin. I finally  completed the challenge and won the 39 story tree house audio. There were many more challenges and prizes to be won and everyone did them was confident. Every body had a great time at the library and went back to school after he left.

Basketball

On wednesday the year 5, 6, 7 and 8 basketball team went to after school basketball. The year 5 and 6 had their game against St Patrick's and won 10 all. And the year 7 and 8's played Point England black and won 5 to 4.

Cross Country

Today we had cross country. We were sent down to Mount Wellington War Memorial Reserve. Each class have already had their own spot to sit down in. Adidas sponsored our run, so we got inflatable sticks to cheer people on. The year zero's went first and they did 1 lap. Then the year one and two's ran and did 2 laps. The year fours did 2 laps as well. After that, the year five and six went together and had to do 3 laps. And the year seven and eights went at the same time and did 4 laps. We had to run up a hill go back down, run around a field, go up another hill, go back down and do it again. I came First for my cross country run. Thomas came second. And gozan came third. We were all tired after the run and walked back to school to pack up for the end of the day.

Maths

Today for maths, me and my maths group were learning to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of decimals. We had to answer all 11 questions using our own strategy. I learnt a new strategy with decimals and it helps me alot when i'm trying to solve hard decimal questions. Decimals are really helpful in maths and can be really useful when you're trying to count money. 

Read Theory

For 20 minutes each day ls2 does read theory. It is sometimes difficult so we can look back at the story and answer the questions. This helps us to understand the text. We think about what the question is asking us to do. We have grades. We earn new titles and levels depending on the points we earn. My current grade is grade 5. That means that i'm reading paragraphs between 1 to 10.
