This Term, Miss B has set the students the
challenge of reading 20 stories. With the addition of some new release books to
our classroom library, it has been pleasing to see the students devouring
books! We have been learning about different genres and the students have been
enjoying the opportunities to do a book talk on a book they have just
completed. For a great example of a book talk, visit this YouTube channel:
Here are some snaps of the students in Room
14 being ‘caught’ reading!
Also very exciting is the upcoming Poetry
Recital. Learning poetry is lots of fun and there are so many great poems out
there! Next week, the students will be presenting a poem of their choice for
the class to enjoy. Two class finalists will then be selected to participate in
the Year Level Final. Just a reminder that the poem needs to be presented in an
expressive, engaging way and be under 2 minutes long. Below is the timetable
for presentations:

In writing, we have been revising the
persuasive text structure and looking at ways to explain our ideas in more
depth. The students have been doing team brainstorming to map out how simple
ideas could be extended. The topic last week “Which School Subject is Most
Important?” led to some great
discussion.
We have also been revising the grammatical
components of an effective sentence and working on our letter formations and
presentation standard.
