Introducing Miss Gray

I finally remembered to take a photo of our lovely Miss Gray!  As you know Miss Gray teaches Room 12 every Wednesday - we are so lucky to have her!

We loved bringing our teddy bears to school!

Miss Gray is in charge of teaching the following:

  • Maths strands, such as, geometry, measurement and statistics.  At the moment Room 12 is learning how to tell the time (especially o'clock times and half-past times).
  • Jolly Phonics and Letter Aerobics (I teach the Yolanda Soryl Phonics programme - so Room 12 get the most of both worlds!).
  • Dance/Drama (Miss Gray uses the DanceWrite programme).
  • Library time (all children can issue 2 books a week).
  • Miss Gray also continues the normal reading and writing programme.


A busy lady!  Therefore, very busy kids!

An aside....have any of you noticed that Room 12 have reading 5 times a week?  
Therefore, on Fridays the children will be coming home with a reading book AND their poem.

What a fun Teddy Bears Picnic we had today!  Thank you to the families who came along and enjoyed a picnic with us.  The sun came out too....we just needed that wind to calm down.
