Reading eggs


Reading eggs, is an online program that can help you get better at Spelling, Grammar and Comprehension.

When I first started using reading eggs i didn’t have a clue what to do, but now.... I like reading eggs because it is really fun and helps you learn. Reading eggs has helped me alot with my comprehension, I didn’t know what comprehension was, but I do now.

At the start of the term Mr Barks showed us a new website and it was in fact reading eggs. To be honest I didn’t know what comprehension was until I started using reading eggs.  Have you ever had a favourite online program?, cause I have its reading eggs.

If I could choose between study ladder and Reading eggs, I would probably end up choosing Reading eggs.

Thanks To Cael for reading my work.

Australia

Guess what? , I’m going to Australia.

Well I guess I have to go. My Dad has found a job over in Australia, which in is fact Truck Driving. I want to go and I don’t want to go. The reason I don’t want to go is because I really don’t want to leave my friends. I kind of  want to go because I can meet all sorts of different people.

OBVIOUSLY, I’m going to miss my friends, my family, and my school.  I’ve been at Pt England School for about....... 6 years now.  I’m leaving in September, and I want to make the most of my time here.  

I’m going to miss this SCHOOL.

Xtramaths.




Xtramaths is an online program that helps everyone and anyone, get better at your basic maths skills.

When I first started using xtramaths, I found it really difficult. The reason I found it difficult is because I didn’t know my basic maths; mainly addition and subtraction. I think it took me about 3 weeks JUST to get through the first basic step, addition. I don’t know how long it took me to get through subtraction, but I managed to finish.


After completing addition and subtraction, now I was moving towards multiplication and division. I was on multiplication which took me approximately 5 days. Then it was on to division. Division, for me it was really hard and I knew it was the opposite of multiplication which made it a bit easier to understand.

I am really focused on xtramaths. I have passed xtramaths in 2 stages, 3 seconds, and 2 seconds. I am currently on 1.5 seconds subtraction. I just started today I have about 19 more questions until I can complete this stage. Then I get to move on to multiplication. I can’t wait

I am really looking forward to completing this task and so far I think I have improved a lot.

Beep Test !

I'm not a very fit individual but, the score that I was placed with surprised me.

We were just getting into the beep test, Level 1 … passed that ! Level 2 ….. passed that. But when it came to Level 3 my breathing started to increase, more and more every time I pushed myself.

I was trying to keep pace with the others, suddenly they started fading away and it was just Tyla, Eleva and myself, well out of the girls. We passed level 4 and it was time to start level 5. I couldn’t do it, but my legs started to act up, I just couldn’t take it so I dropped out.

After the beep test, I was finally finished, I felt like laying down, But I wanted to hear my results. 5.2 not bad " I said to myself ". 

Thanks to David for reading my work.

GO FOR GOLD !



In Term 3 we are learning about the Olympics.

The last Olympics were held in Beijing China which was in 2008.  At least one colour from the olympic rings are known to appear in each country's flag. The five interlocking rings represent the five out of seven continents; Both North and South America, Africa, Oceania, Europe and Asia.  


Term 3 has kicked off to a great start. Immersion Assembly was put together by Mr Jacobsen and the teachers. Team 1 through to team 5 had the opportunity to show us what they thought the olympics were all about. There were movies presentations and also Items.

The item I best liked was hosted by a team . I really liked team 5’s item because it was really funny and really educating. The reason I liked team 5’s item was because they didn’t just include really important bits, they put in funny bits On the other hand I also liked team 1’s movie because, they got to get up close and personal with real athletes that had also competed in the olympics.

I would like to give a big THANKS! to all the teachers that put together all the movies, they really inspired me to learn more about the olympics.

Thank you Ramona for proof reading my work
