Room 24 Our Buddy Class








Wow we are so lucky to have Room 24 as our buddy class. They have wonderful children who are budding experts at ICT today they came to show us lots of programmes we can use on the school's apple MAC computers. We had so much fun exploring programmes like Kidpix and photo booth. Miss Scadden called us a bunch of giggling girties because all she could hear was us laughing!!! We hope Room 24 can come and join us every Friday so we can become experts too!

Reading




We have been very busy learning to read. There are lots of opportunities in class to get involved in reading and reading activities. The children participate in guided reading with the teacher 4 times a week. During reading time the children who are not reading with the teacher have a wide range of activities to choose from that promote early reading skills. Some of these activities include buddy reading, reading in the library corner, reading games that promote letters and sounds, big books and poems, and whiteboards and pens with word cards. Miss Scadden is very pleased at how well the children are doing!!
