The present

Last week we had as our focus caring for others. Room 8 had a present waiting on Monday morning. For the week the students tried to guess what was in the present, wrote about and shared their ideas and hopes.

During discovery time the students made gift boxes for each other and wrote messages of encouragement and support for each other. On Friday we opened the present to discover a further note directing us to find Mrs Sawyer who had waiting  a plate of warm chocolate muffins. Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week, in the last week of term, we are focussing on Dinosaurs. As a part of this we are learning to write our letter d's and b's.  This is an area the students often find hard, remembering which letter is which.  During the week encourage the students at home to write letters d and b.  Words like bed, bad, dab, in which the students write both the b and d can be useful.  

Keep up the reading at home.  Students will be sent home with extra reading books for the holidays as it is important to keep reading even when away from the classroom.

Below are some photos from our discovery time today. The giant footprint is that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.  We wanted to see how many students feet would fit on a T Rex foot.
