Reading Buddies

We are learning to be good readers by practicing with our reading buddy. When we read to our buddies, we have to sit beside them and read our books carefully. We know that reading is about looking and thinking. We need to listen to our own reading so we can notice if we we make a mistake and then try hard to fix up our mistakes by using some of the strategies that follow: 1: Re read the sentence and get our mouth ready to say the first sound. 2: Read on to the full stop and think about what would make sense in the story. 3: Use the picture to try and find a clue about the word we are not sure of. Look at us with our reading buddies.

Cross Country

It was our first time at cross country and we were very excited but also a bit nervous. We walked all the way to Nayland College and sat in our classes. When it was time for us to run, we got ready and Mr Power explained exactly what we needed to do. He told us to always try our best and to have fun. This is us just as we started our race. It was a lot of fun at cross country. We were very tired in the afternoon but felt very pleased with ourselves. When we got back to school we got to eat some of the yummy pikelets. There was lots of pikelet stations around the school. They were delicious. We loved the M and M pikelets best!
