Amazing Learning

On Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11.00 until 12.30 we have a range of literacy learning.  Here are some photos of the Absolutely Amazing Room 2 learning skills in reading, writing, spelling and oral language. 

The captions have been written by several students in Room 2.

Tigue, Steven and Briah are doing Handwriting

Rebecca, Kelli and Luke are doing their spelling activity.

Cairo and Aden are designing stuff on the design table.

Zoe is watching Paige and Luke doing the puppet theatre.

Me and Josiah are doing the pocket chart.  (They have put the words in alphabetical order.  They swapped two around to see if you notice.  Can you work out which ones? - Mrs B)

Briah, Mina, Luke and Cairo are playing Charades.  (This is a popular game and great for learning new words - Mrs B)

I am on the computer. (There are many great websites to use, including this one which is www.abcyacom )

This is Room two reading "My Sloppy Tiger Goes to School" with Mrs Knight.

Rebecca and Briah are reading around the room.

Libby is writing around the room.

Rebecca and Briah are reading.

Aden and Josiah are doing a story and reading "The Big Block of Chocolate".

Caitlin and Kelli are reading "Te Tio Bay"  (This is a tricky rhyming book and the girls are doing a great job of reading it as part of small group reading with the teacher - Mrs B)

Paige and Tigue are making words.

Kelli, Luke, Caitlin and Josiah are doing a play.

There are a few other literacy learning centres in Room 2. Make sure you check the blog regularly to see what they are.

Room 2 is working very hard on their literacy and I am very proud of all of them.  Our ABC is on Thursday this week.  It's a special morning tea including rainbow jellies, ABC mini muffins and ... well... I've got to keep something for a surprise!  See you again soon.  - Mrs B

Thanks for helping Room 2 win the competition!!

Hello to all the wonderful friends and family of Room 2.  Thanks to your contribution we have won the Principal's Class Shout of $100.  Yahoo!!!

We already have one idea for how to use it.  At the start of Term two we discussed some different ways we could celebrate awesome behaviour in Room 2.  (Our ABC)  We've had a some great ABC's this term but there was one suggestion that, while it was very popular, would cost a bit of money.  So we put that idea on hold.  We were all very excited when we realised we were getting close and might win.  We have to put our proposal to Ms D first but just to give you a sneak preview into our thoughts, the ABC we have in mind will be especially neat if we have some buckets.  I wonder what Ms D will think of our idea...

During the last 10 days we have been taking a lot of photos of some of the different learning opportunities during our Reading sessions.  Now that Mrs B is feeling a lot better & is back at school, we will be writing captions for the photos next week and posting them on the blog.

Please come back soon and have a look.
