Poetry Recital

This week each child in Room 24 presented their poem. I was so impressed by how brave everyone was. Each child needed to think about reading at a good pace, using expression, maybe some actions and to try and look at the audience sometimes. Some children decided not to select a familiar poem from our Poetry Folders but choose their own poem. Some poems were funny and made us laugh. We have two definite finalists Stephanie and Jayan. One child is deciding, so the third person is not definite at this stage. A little step to stand on, a music stand and a bell helped set the scene.

Cubetto

Cubetto is a wooden Robot in the shape of a cube, that the children construct a code for, in order to program it. Children use tiles positioned on a board that instructs the robot to move over and along a mat to numerous interesting destinations. Thanks to Mrs Michael's who assisted the children with using this new mat recently introduced.  

Pink Shirt Day

On Friday May 18th it was Pink Shirt Day. Children were able to wear pink to help celebrate this event that promoted kindness. We watched "Oat the Goat" on You Tube- a powerful and wonderful digital story that encourages kindness which resulted in making new friends.

Picture Find

During our first week we worked with a buddy to find items in a picture. We worked as a team, helping each other. We had to search carefully. It was a fun challenge!
