Our second week at school.



We have had an awesome week this week. 

We read a poem called Puddle Play. Here is us reading our Poem and doing the actions. We made up the actions ourselves. 




 This week we have been practicing our reading by reading to each other. This is a good way for us to become confident readers. At the end of reading, we find someone that is not in our group and we sit down and take turns reading to each other. We have really enjoyed buddy reading.




This weeks Principals award goes to Jorja. She has been a great friend and helper this week. Jorja has been working hard and making sure she is doing the right thing. Well done Jorja. 


We are on Assembly next week. We are excited to show you a few new songs and also what we have been learning in our classroom. Hope you can make it to see our assembly.
