Semester 2 already!

2013  is as busy as I predicted, hence I'm only now getting back to updating news on the blog....

Kindy have settled very well, with many remembering to borrow each week :-) They love to choose their books, both fiction and fact. Snakes Alive is a very popular title as are books on animals (any kind), cars, trains and planes!
Kindy are developing their listening skills and starting to think more deeply about the stories we share in Library time. They love to tell me what they think will happen next!

Year One and Two are becoming quite proficient at giving their opinion with comments on the Stage One Readers and Thinkers Blog. We are looking at the books that have been short listed for this years Children's book of the year.  The winners will be announced in Book Week, August 17th - 23rd.

Years Three and Four have already done a variety of things and this semester looks equally varied with author studies, narrative writing and looking at growing and changing!

Years five and six have written book reviews and researched an author. Year six have been busy writing a script for an "interview" with their author and will record the "interviews" on their ipads early this term :-) Year 5 and 4/5M will begin researching rainforests this term and are looking forward to using their ipads for research and presenting their learning!

In all we are expecting a very busy term...

Keep on reading :-)
Mrs B
