Star of the week, week eight.

Well done, Zach, you are our star this week for your super learning to date. You have not been in Room One very long,yet already you are mastering your sight words quickly and are reading happily, loving your books.

Week six in busy Room One!

Rocco acting 'teacher' and using the 'pointy stick' as we all sing 'ai'

This week has been a little different from others in that Mrs Savill had a day off sick on Monday and Tuesday was  a CRT (classroom release time) for her, meaning an opportunity to assess a number of the class ready for reports and learning journals. As a result there are fewer photos than usual so apologies for that but I hope you can enjoy reading about our week!

Ka Pai, Zach, a full sticker chart!

This looks like a week of eating actually - with j as one of our letters we made jelly!
Smelt it, looked at it, tasted and ate it then wrote about our senses and jelly - do come and visit our classroom to read our writing about jelly!

Amy has completed her first writing goal sheet already, using her sounds, finger spaces, full stop at the end of a sentence and she canals find the words she needs for her writing on her word card! Wow, go Amy!

Senior cross country was on Friday afternoon - we got to watch the girls racing!

Oops eating again - learning about 'half ' - what better way then through sharing a slice of bread equally with a friend?

Eating our jelly before writing.

Mmm, half a slice of bread! Two halves make a whole and both Rasharna and Rocco ate a whole slice eventually.
