Reading Eggs



This term  Mr Barks has introduced us to a new program called Reading eggs, Reading eggs is an online reading program which takes you through a series of stadium challenges,comprehension stories, and library books. Reading eggs all started with a test that we all had to take which put you into the right level, my level was 5-1 which my friend Andrea got as well but don’t worry we didn’t cheat because now I’m at 5-4 and Andrea is at 5-3.

In Reading eggs you can earn eggs which are like money where you can spend in the mall, you also hit targets which you get from completing a series of books or comprehension stories. In reading eggs there are many different things to do that I haven't quite mentioned yet you have your own apartment a mall and there is a writing press which we haven’t used yet and also we are NOT allowed to use the mall unless we have free time.

The picture above shows the floating island which is the home page where you can access everything  plus see how many eggs you have and how many targets you have hit.Our teacher Mr Barks likes to check up on our work and how much we have been progressing  with our learning.
Each day we have to do one comprehension, one of all the stadium challenges and a minimum 2 books a day.

I think that if our class keeps going with reading eggs we will get better and achieve more in our reading.

Triple Threat Take Two




Triple threat! You maybe thinking, what is that?, or what does it mean? A triple threat is something that has to do with going somewhere, you might be going somewhere and doing more than three things at once you could have a profession in many different subjects.


Now I still haven’t answered the question why am I writing about this a triple threat well heres part one. So, at the beginning of the year my Nan and Grandad moved to Australia and I haven’t seen them in almost a year and they're coming back and this will be my only chance to see them until next year.



As it turns out this is going be a very busy week because it's my best friends birthday! a surprise party and a surprise guest ME...!. My friend Matyla and I have been planning this for a couple of weeks and I am so excited. This would be the first time I’ve seen them both in months which might not sound long in a boys world but for us girls it fell's like eternity.


I called my story a triple threat because I’m doing three things at once, ohh did I also mention it’s a holiday as well but I’ll be the only one NOT at school.

I really hope Brooke has the best birthday ever and my fabulous Nan has a great time home and I'll have a great Holiday.


Stay tuned for a follow up on this story when I come back.
