Postcard Predictions

Today we were looking at the reading strategy 'predicting'. The children went around the tables predicting where all of the 'postcards' were from. They had to work as a group and talk about what languages might be spoken in that country, what foods might be eaten, what types of clothing might be worn and what kinds of activities might they do in a place like this. Predicting is an important strategy for readers as it helps them to anticipate what they are reading. It encourages them to become active readers.

We have been doing Statistics in Maths.  The children have all come up with a question that they would like to investigate and are collecting the data they need to create their graphs

Room 8 had a great time on our walk. We saw lots of native trees and birds, such an amazing bush walk.
