Kia ora Room 8 Whanau

I would like to share this link with you which shows some great ways to help children with their reading. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2dSw6ZKi0I

When reading at home, the text should be easy and enjoyable to read.  Please remember that the text  has been used as a lesson at school where a lot of new learning was covered. However we all know, from time to time, some texts will give individual challenges. If this does happen using some of the prompts as highlighted in the video clip might be really helpful.

Please watch out for a sight word programme, called Early Words, that will be in your child's book bag over the next few weeks. This is a daily programme so please keep all associated resources in the book bag so they can be used the next day.

Many thanks for all your support when reading at home.

We have a special evening coming up!

Kia Ora to all

Here is Room 8 again. This time we are promoting a special evening - A Welcome Back to School Celebration. We hope to see you with your wonderful children on the night. !

Learning about kindness..

In Room 8, Kindness means sharing, taking turns, saying what we need so others can help us and having gentle hands. Look at our very first video to go on our Blog!

Gardening

We  did some  gardening! First  we dug out all the weeds.
Then  we watered the very, very dry soil.  Then we sowed
some peas. It was hard work  but we all had lots of fun!
And, guess what  we found while we were digging! 8 Feb 2019
