Junior Camp Week
Well, camp week is nearly at an end and what a fantastic time we've all had. Drama, Music, Dance and Art have kept all the children really busy. Its awesome to see them take a risk and try something a bit different. There's also been loads of bucket filling this week with everyone being really helpful and caring.

Daily 5 - Reading to others
As part of our morning routine in room 1 we have the Daily 5. These are activities that children must complete each day. They choose when they do them and they have till lunchtime to complete them. They include: Reading to self (2 book minimum), Reading to someone else, Listening to reading, word work (independent writing activity) and spelling. When the children aren't working on their Daily 5 they're usually doing some Action Stations or followup work that I've set them. Here are some pictures of Sophie sharing some reading with Katie and Ahleya. The children really enjoy sharing The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas, if you haven't heard it, pop in and I'm sure they'll be several children keen to read it to you.
Ahleya really enjoyed that Sophie…..Good job!
Handwriting Heroes for Term 4
Well done to Akira, Luke and Aoife! Our first handwriting heroes for term 4. They are all working really hard on the formation of their letters and are extremely enthusiastic…..AWESOME JOB!
Position
In maths this term we've been learning about position, using the language of position to describe where an object or person is (in front, in-between, behind, beside etc) and giving directions to a partner, using that language to create a copy of a formation of blocks that were hidden from them. The children have really enjoyed this unit and you can see how well they did giving and following directions.
