Speaking,+Reading+and+Writing

We know that READING - WRITING - SPEAKING are very important.

Watch our writing get better week by week!
 * Our teachers remind us that we should **read** at home every day. We have bookbags to put our school readers in. It is fun to share our books at home.
 * We **write** at school every day. At home it is good to do some writing. Maybe make a shopping list with Mum, or copy a recipe for making pikelets. It is fun to design a //Thank You, Get Well// or//Birthday// card.
 * We are also focussing on **speaking** in our class this year. It is not easy speaking in front of people - we need lots of practice. We don't mind if you remind us at home to speak clearly.
 * Poems are fun. It is good to listen to poems and we like to join in - some of us have learnt some poems 'by heart'.

OUR BUTTERFLY WRITING


 * COOL KIDS **

Well, we think we are pretty cool! But we better not get too 'big-headed'. It is good to see what other people can do and how we are all different - but special in our own way. When we work together we can do all sorts of interesting and helpful things. 

We all have good friends in Room 8. And we know it is important to notice who needs a friend. Some of us get lonely sometimes and it is good to have a friend who can cheer us up. When we get annoyed with someone it is important to quickly 'make it up' and become friends again. We all have adults - those big people, who are our close friends. What adult friends do you have? Here are some pictures and writing about FRIENDSHIP.

This is the day of our cross-country running. It was great to run and finish the race.
 * RUNNING IS FUN - AND HARD WORK!! **

We have been learning how to use the programme, **//Pages//**. On **//Pages//** we can change the lettering, put in our own pictures, fix mistakes and a lot more. We use our pendrives to save our work. Here are some of our stories:
