ATIONS, By Shel Silverstein

The Tigers reading group looked at the poem ATIONS, by Shel Silverstein.  They used the ipad to take pictures of each of the ation words.  Once they were happy with their pictures they used imovie to put them in the right order and record themselves reading the poem.  Here is the finished movie.

Reading up a storm

Kalo has been doing a lot of reading lately, and she has been remembering to record it on her reading log.  Great work Kalo!

Marshal's Reading Log

As part of the daily five the children have to read to themselves each day.  They keep a record of what they have read on a reading log.  Here is Marshals reading log from week one, we are learning to summarise the important events.

Read to Someone

As part of the daily five program we have been learning how to read to a buddy.  Our buddy listens to us read and summarises what they heard.  We then ask each other questions to check our understanding before swapping roles.  Here are some photos of our first buddy reading session.

Buddy Reading with Room 5

We love buddy reading with our buddy class - Room 5. They help us sound out our words and ask us questions to check that we understand what we are reading.

Mr Minton also organised some yummy fruit kebabs for us to try because we are learning all the names of fruits as part of our inquiry learning. 

We had so much fun with Room 5 - we love having them as our buddy class.

Oh, jump in a sack
