News Day - Yay!

Room 12 were very excited to have news circle time today.  We had 5 people share news.  Here they are!

Makylah shared news about her leap pad.  She likes drawing on it.

Mio shared news about the Japanese Dolls Festival on March 3.
On this day they put dolls of princesses and princes on display and pray that all girls will grow healthy and strong.

Sophia shared news about her doll that she got from her grandmother for Christmas.

Oliver shared news about his I Spy Pirate book.  He also got it for a Christmas present!

Xavier shared news about his Hulk toy.  It was one of the presents from Santa!
One of our reading groups had a practice at re-reading their reading books into our Oral Language Phones.  These special phones make our voices seem louder.  Lots of fun!


During the week we have been practicing to write 2 sentence stories - this means there are 2 full stops!  The words we have been focussing on are: I, am, and like.  We made little books to take home.  We are so proud of them!  On Friday afternoon we shared our little books with our Room 5 buddies.

Xavier is sharing his "I am' book with Robert.

Kian is reading his 'I am' book to his buddy, Tawhiri.

Makylah is reading her 'I am' book to her buddy, Caitlyn.

Naai's buddy was away, so he shared his book with Timothy.

Oliver proudly shared his book with Stefan.

Sophia loved sharing her little book with Piper.

Haley loved Mio's little book!

Eita read his little book to Indiana.
 Relationships at school are really important.  
At school these relationships help keep us happy and safe.  
I just HAD TO SHARE this photo of Kian and his buddy Tawhiri - it made my heart melt!

CUTE!

  1. Hi Room 12! We think you all look so happy with your buddies. We have big buddies that we read with stories with at our school too! We love our big buddies because they look after us while we eat our lunch and play with us in the playground. Do you play games with your buddies? From Mrs Graham and Room E6.
