Panmure Library

One Friday we were invited to the Panmure Library to see the one and only Stig Wemyss (the voice of Andy Griffins books)  We gt to the library, and everyone was excited to see the famous Stig. In the library we saw all his books and CD's Stig came out and he hooked us in with his humor. Stig had prizes to give out after we did some of his challenges. He was also telling us about this new app that had all his books on it, and it's called Borrow Box. So if you want to check out his book go check out Borrow Box. We had a lot of fun with Stig and would like to say a huge thank you to the librarians for providing and supporting this event.

Today I have been finishing off my reading tasks. Our reading tasks were based on a true story which is called The Sons Of Ma'afu. I have did all my tasks except this last one. The last task was drawing a sketch note of the story. As you can see I have re telled the story in my own way of understanding by drawing it. 

Cross Country

Yesterday afternoon the whole school had Cross Country. We all had Cross Country across the road at Dunkirk. We all have been working hard and have been training hard for this event. We crossed over and the first ones to start off were there Year 1/2's and they enjoyed them selves. The day got bad and it started to rain but we manged to get through the whole thing. The year 7/8 girls were next. They started off really good and made their way to their 2 lap. After all the laps, Cecillia came 1st, Paige 2nd and Silivia 3rd. In the year 7 girls Mia came 1st, Mishaan 2nd and Nazella came 3rd place. Everyone showed sportsmanship and team work while doing the cross country. Would like to say a huge thank you to Mr O for organizing this event and taking us across.

Read Theory

Today in reading we have been doing Read Theory. When we do Read Theory, we do for every 20 minutes. In this activity, I was learning how to understand the text, thinking about what the question was asking me to do, and looking back at the passage to find more information to answer my questions. My reading group has also been using comprehension cards to help us understand if we are stuck with a question.
