Pammy Princess
We were lucky enough to have Pammy Princess spend the afternoon with us today. After she read us a story, we showed her how awesome we are in the pool! Thanks for coming, Pammy.

Maths - comparing
Today we were comparing ourselves - eye colour and height. We discovered the majority of Room 2 children have brown eyes and green was the least common colour. Have a look at the graph we created next time you come into the classroom.
Next - we tried to put ourselves in order from the shortest to the tallest. Do you think we succeeded??
Discovery Time
Discovery Time started last Friday morning. Normally on a Friday morning, Rooms 2 and 3 combine for a big session of Discovery Time. This time, however, we had a small session to get used to the idea. After 2 very busy weeks, I think all of us enjoyed the chance to relax a bit and take charge of our own learning.

Welcome back everyone after a lovely long weekend. It was great to hear that so many of you did exciting things.
Wow - we certainly hit the ground running today. We started our full writing programme in earnest, with EVERYONE writing something about themselves. We'll be drawing some self portraits over the next few days and these pieces of writing will accompany them. Keep a lookout for those.
We also started instructional reading groups - I was so impressed with how quickly everyone picked up the idea of the 'pointing finger'. We need to make sure we point to every word as we read our story, to help make the connection between the written and spoken word.
