Smart Searching

Today Mrs Ogilvie from National library came to Panmure Bridge school to talk about smart searching online. She had amazing sites that could help us with our learning and that are for our age range. She talked to us about a site called Epic, this site contains other websites that have information about topics we want to learn about. We then went to a site called Britiannica. This website has information for people in secondary school, primary and intermediate. We also got told about Kids InfoBits, this site is for kids and has information about anything. These sites also contain people reading the text out for you and has different reading levels. It also has images and video clips.

Quick Write

  Today, for writing we were writing a quick narrative with 6 (Max) sentences. We had to be very imaginative and creative. A story starter we used was, 'Once upon a time...' We did this activity to improve our narrative writing, or recapping what we were learning about narrative for next term. 

Quizizz's-Maths

Today for maths we were playing quizizz's. We were learning our multiplication, addition and subtraction the fun way. We had a code to enter to join a certain quiz (Miss Naicker's one that she set). We had almost 20 or 10 seconds to answer each question. We had our ranks, these were based on our the questions we answered. After a while, Mrs Anderson and Miss Naicker joined the race. Mrs Anderson came first. We did this because we were challenging each other, and it's a very fun way to learn your basic facts. 

Panmure Library Visit - Stig

On Friday, we (Room 5, LS1 and LS2) went to the library to listen to Stig Wymess. Stig is a book voice artist who narrates Andy Griffiths books. Stig is incredibly funny. He talked to us about Borrow Box, a digital way to borrow book audios, including Stig's audios. He hooked us in with his humor and all of his actions. Stig also told us how reading a book wanted him to be an actor. When he entered, he Latham and Afu played a game 'Chubby Bubbie' (Chubby Bunny). We had so much fun. He made us laugh so much. Then everyone had a challenge, the people who went up had to say nothing but 'sussage,' without laughing too. After so many people, we finally had a winner, Zahn. The people who went up got prizes like an audio book.

Thinkboard - Decimals

 Here is my thinkboard to a maths problem. We had to make a diagram, a word problem, similar questions that answers to 7.8 and our thinking. I really enjoyed using the thinkboard, it was very fun. Our focus was on adding decimals this week. I really hope we do many more thinkboards in the future. 

Cross Country

Yesterday, a couple of people went to the inter school for cross country. We went to Bailey Road school were we had to compete other schools. It was raining a lot, but we dealt with it. We saw many different schools with lots of skills. There were schools like Point England school and Stone fields. We had our colored bands, this will tell us what age/year group we're from. We had our race a couple of hours later, we were pacing ourselves and kept running although the course was very bumpy. The course was very long and muddy but we all made it out. I loved how everyone cheered us on while running. I think I need to improve on my endurance and stop less.
