Buddy Reading with a twist!

"I like reading. I read with Ben. He had a puppet to read. I liked it because it was funny"

By Kaatia

Reading: Re-telling in our own words

"We have been learning how to do some recordings on Miss Holland's phone. We were re-telling. It was hard because we wanted to read the stories sometimes but we had to re-tell and I was being determined and my partner too." - Ayamai

What do you think of our re-telling?

Spare plastic bags

Dear Parents,

If you have any spare plastic bags that we could use for the community fair, we would greatly appreciate it!

You can bring them into Hub 1 and give them to Mrs Freddy.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,

Inventors in LH1!

Having read about different ways that scientists 'spy' on animals, we decided we'd like to create our own inventions to keep an eye on animals in the wild...

Using the Glossary and Contents page

We've been learning how (and where) to look for definitions in the non-fictin texts that we read. We've learnt that the glossary is often in the back of non-fiction books and helps us understand the meanings of challenging words.

Today we were set the challenge of reading the book using the contents page - we flicked backwards and forwards to the contents page and read the pages that interested us the most first. We also used the glossary to help us understand difficult words.

We're non-fiction superstars!

'Making my lunch' writing group

In writing this term the learners are split amongst the five teachers, with each group focusing on an area of interest.

There are all sorts of exciting things happening!

The 'making my lunch' group' learners have each written an invitation to their parents and collaborated to write this letter. If your child is in this group, keep an eye on their book bad this afternoon for your invitation to join us in making lunch at school next Monday!
