Generation's morning

What an amazing morning! A huge thank you to all parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and family friends who were involved in making today such a brilliant success.  Room 8 learnt so many things about the past, so wonderful of you all to share your stories with us.

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.

The Room 8 animals

The children were all given an animal name, they had to find their animal partner using only the sound the animal makes. Lots of fun.
