JJ received a Duffy Award for his ability to recognise, identify and explain what a contraction is. 

Tino pai, JJ! 👏

Word Endings

 

We have been learning how to read and say different word endings. During the Orange's reading session, we picked out words from our book and circled the endings. The children read the whole word and sounded the ending out to the group. Ka Pai Luke, Hine, Eva and Oshin! 

Home Learning: Luke's Reading

As part of his follow-up guided reading activity today, Luke had to record himself reading his Sunshine Classics ebook, When Itchy Witchy Sneezes. Listen to how well he speaks clearly. His Mum is in the background giving him some encouragement. Well done Mum.

Ka Pai to Princess and JJ 👏

Princess and JJ received a Duffy Award for reading very well this week. Both are very good readers.
Princess is good at thinking about what she reads to answer questions correctly.
JJ is good at using his phonics to help him read difficult words.
Well done!

Duffy Award

Zayden is our first Room 5 Duffy Award student.  This week he learnt to use his pointing finger to point to every word and to use the pictures to help him read. 
Ka pai!

Where is Mrs Golder? by Farhan

Today Mrs Golder is probably sick with a cold. She is probably at the doctor's and she has some medicine for a sore throat. I miss Mrs Golder very much.

Where is Mrs Golder? by Jonathan

I think she is at home in bed sleeping with her blanket. When Mrs Golder wakes up she will have medicine.

Harvesting The Snow Peas by Leroy

We harvested the snow peas with the scissors. We cut the stem off the plant. We opened the snow pea pods. We ate the peas.
