Sharks guided reading

Today during reading time we were practising reading like we are talking.
First we looked at the different punctuation marks in the book and talked about what we do with our voices when reading.
Then we looked through all the pictures to give us clues about the book.
In this photo you can see the picture of the map, after we read the book once we read it to each other and tried to follow the path on the map.

Starfish guided reading session

Today during guided reading the starfish learnt to read and write the word come.

We can write it on a whiteboard. 

We can make it with magnetic letters.

We can find it in our book.  

Star of the week

Congratulations Mariah on receiving the star of the week award last week for doing some amazing writing! She wrote a sentence all by herself! I am very proud of you Mariah.

Writing in Room 2!

Today we went to the sandpit to make sandcastles. We found out that patting wet sand was the best way to build a big sandcastle. Some of us worked with buddies and some of us worked by ourselves. Look at these pictures and let us know who you think has made the biggest sandcastle.
