Reading log complete!

Well done Christine for finishing a full page on your reading log! 

Fireman visit

Last Friday we were lucky enough to have a fire engine and some fire men come and see us at school. We even got a turn to hold the hose. It was so powerful!

 Look at all the protective gear he has to put on to keep him safe in a fire.

 The fireman set up 2 hoses and then turned them on. 

 We got to turn the hose on and off, and twist the nozzle to make the water spray different ways.

We even got to see the canon on the roof of the fire engine. That was so powerful it knocked a branch off a tree!

Stars of the week!

Congratulations Matthias and Fereti! You received the star of week award for making great progress in your reading. Great stuff boys, you should be very proud of yourselves!

Artwork

How we made this artwork:

1- Put pieces of masking tape on a piece of paper.

2- Paint different colours over our paper, trying not to leave any white spaces.

3- Very carefully pull off the masking tape once the paint has dried. 

And there you have it! Here are a few pictures of the ones we did.

WALT point to every word as we read

Today the starfish practised pointing to every word when they read a sentence. Here you can see that they can do it because they have left a finger print. 

Fun Friday in Room 2

On Thursday we wrote about Fun Friday. We have been learning to use the words yesterday, Today and tomorrow in our writing this week. Have a look at our writing about Fun Friday and then some pictures about what we do for Fun Friday in our class.

 Lino worked really hard on his story and kept rereading and editing his work until it was perfect! 

Ocean remembered all his writing goals, and found the words by himself. Look at the cool picture he drew about what he wants to do on Fun Friday. 

Cheldyn was learning to write the word is today. He wrote it all by himself!

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.
