One of Our Favourite Reading Books

Today Room 11 took one of their favourite reading books home to share with their families.  Their job was to be the teacher and see if their families could predict what the something very scary was and how they thought the characters would get the scary thing out.

We had a lot of fun trying to guess what  it was and to look for clues while we read the book to tell us if we were right.

We used clues from another book we had read called The Hissing Bush as well as what we knew had scary eyes and made hissing noises.

If your brother, sister, son or daughter is in Room 11 please let us know how good they were at asking questions and helping you to solve the mystery.

You can come and see our Something Scary pictures and stories in class as well.

Reading with the Red Group

'Today the red group read Late for the Race.  They were learning to use the pictures for clues to help them find more information about the story.

Isaac L moved up to the red group and he did a great job of helping us.

Reading with Blue Group

Today Blue group were reading Grandma's vase.  They were using the pictures for clues to help them learn more about the story.  They also needed to use their fingers to point to the words and use Lips the Fish to help with the new words they met.

New Reading Buddies and Books

In the holidays Mrs Nathan bought us some new Hot Wheels and SpongeBob books.

She also bought us some finger puppets for us to use when reading; to help with our pointing.
We can also use them to role play with our friends.

Reading time

Today we worked so hard with our reading and writing that we had some time to practice our letter and word knowledge.

 
 
 
 
 

Awesome readers

Mrs Nathan has been busy testing Room 11 in reading.

Halatoa and Larenz have both been trying really hard and they are now working at level 9 and 8!  They are well on track towards meeting National Standards once they have had one year at school!

Mrs Nathan and Whaea Maeva were so proud of them that we gave them one of our big prizes each.
