Reading Buddies

Today we read our books to our reading buddies.  We need to work very hard on our reading so that we get better and better.  We are learning to use good fix up strategies to solve tricky words.  We know that reading is about looking and thinking.  When we come to a tricky word we can do these things.

1. Re-read to help us think about the word.
2. Read on to the full stop and think about what would sound right and look right.
3. Look at the first and last sound and parts of the word we do know and think.
4. Try the word to see if it makes sense.

Variety Show

Junior Variety Show 

Alice in Wonderland

Our Variety Show this year was all about the messages we get from movies and stories.  Our message was that we can all work together and look after each other to find things.

We held our show at Nayland College and we did so much practice so we could shine for the big performance. We had to dance for the audience and we did really well.  We wiggled our tails out so everyone could see and the audience laughed.  We liked that!   

After the show we played some games while we waited for our parents to come.  One game was called sleeping lions and Kaiya and Ayla won a juicie for a prize.  It was a lot of fun.  Mrs Jimmink gave us a lolly pop because we were awesome. 

Eloise said "my ears fell off" but I put them back on and kept on dancing.

Reuben said "I liked wriggling my tail the best."
