ROOM 21 UPDATE

Here are just a few of the things we have been learning and doing this week:

★ Isabella H shared her exciting news as ABC reporter.  We even looked on the Internet at Candy Land because it sounded so interesting...and yummy.  During news time we learn about:
-talking to an audience in a clear voice that everyone can hear
-the difference between a question and a statement
-asking interesting questions
-answering questions properly
-listening without interrupting
We also get to know each other better and learn about the world around us.

★In Shared Writing we are learning to think of interesting story ideas.  We can do this by using objects from the treasure bag. On Thursday we pulled out a shark, a car without wheels, and a koala bear. We thought of lots of cool stories.  Here are some of our ideas:
The koala was driving along the coast and the shark jumped out and ate the koala and the car.
The car could float on water and the koala and the shark had a race.
The koala was fishing from his boat- car, and caught the shark.

Awesome ideas Room 21.

★We have also been looking at changing sounds in words to make new words, as well as adding sounds like 'ing' to change the meaning of words. We do this in Reading and Writing.

★Assembly was lots of fun with Room 18 performing for us and teaching us a new song.

Neeti got up in front of everyone to receive her certificate.   Tino pai Neeti!

★Please come and read our published stories in the window. We have been working hard on writing, thinking how we can make them even better with our teacher, and then editing and re-writing. Hard work!

Here's to another great week in Room 21. Keep it up kids!

Love, Roald x
