Book Reviews

We are enjoying the book reviews some children are sharing this week. They have made good use of notes and props as well as all those poetry competition skills like using expression, gestures and projecting their voices. Tau ke!

Proud, Proud, Proud!

That is how I felt today. I hope you all did too - you should have. You walked to the hall this morning like true leaders. As an audience you were respectful and celebratory. Sammie, Isobel and Makenzie were all wonderful performers who represented our class so well. We felt particularly proud of you three.

That Sammie came first and Isobel came second was the icing on the cake - and so well deserved!
Tau ke!

We Have Sprung into September!

Yay for Spring!
Tomorrow we are having the poetry competition. Please remember...

You will feel nervous tomorrow and it will be hard to say your poem slowly and clearly.

That's Not a Good Idea!

Today we enjoyed a production of Mo Willems' book That is NOT a Good Idea!

The presenters used great expressions and gestures to enhance the story. Hmm - does that remind you of anything else we've talked about recently - possibly your poems for the poetry competition?

Fish Fun

You each created a fish (or other water creature) using collage and used water colours to make a scene to present your fish on. These are up on the wall in Room 17. Before they went up on the wall Ms Neale helped you all use the app Puppet Pals to make a short movie. I have compressed these movies into three compilation tapes.


Next time we use this app we'll write scripts and plan the action too. It is a lot of fun.

Treasures Indeed

We are really enjoying finding out about the different things families treasure and the reasons they do. If you'd like to look at those things again and tell your family what you have learned check out the new page up above.
