On Monday's we do buddy reading with the children in Mrs O'Donnell's and Miss Little's class. First we listen to our buddy read their story. Then we choose a picture book from the box and we read to our buddy.
We are learning how to make the reading interesting by asking our buddy some questions either about t
he story or about the pictures. Asking questions is sometimes hard because it is hard to think of a question.We like buddy reading because it makes us feel important when we read to the little kids.
On Wednesday we participated in World Maths Day. Lots of children from lots of countries used the internet to answer maths questions. First we had to create our character by choosing a hair type, what shape and colour eyes we wanted, what clothes we wanted to wear, etc.
When you signed in, you competed against people from all over the world. We had to answer as many questions as we could in one minute. There was a b
ar on the screen that moved across if you got the questions right and you could see if you were beating the other people.Most of us were really good. We had an hour each to see how many questions we could answer. The World Maths Day was trying to get 5 000 000 answers. We don't know if they made it but we helped.
It was fun and it was good for our maths.

Hi Room 5,
