Discovery Time

Kids love Discovery Time!

Today we had train sets, lego, barbie dolls, water play, city building, construction, painting, tracing/drawing/chalk drawing and puppet theatre.  What a choice!  We do Discovery Time at 2pm EVERY Friday now....if any parent/aunt/uncle/grandparent/friend of the family wants to come along and help out - just let us know!  All help is greatly appreciated.

After each writing time we always share our fabulous writing.  Usually we read it out to the class, but today we got into little groups and read our stories to them instead.  Room 12 are amazing writers.  All of them are using their word cards to help them find words to write, and for finding the sounds that they can hear in tricky words.  I felt a bit redundant at writing time today and not many of them wanted my help!





Every now and again we complete an activity on paper about one of our basic sight words we are learning to read.  Yesterday's word was 'going'.  I thought Eita and Kaci did a fabulous job with their activity!
