Perfect Prezi!

In Room 6 we have been practicing using the laptops and tablets to use a new online site called Prezi. It allows us to create a moving presentation online to show our ideas. We have mostly been using them independently while Miss Walters is reading with our four reading groups. 

Since we have been learning about instructions in our writing, we have been reading some instructions too! The Giraffes reading group read some instructions in their school journal and gave us step by step instructions in their own words and put them into a prezi!

Have a look at the instructions they wrote after reading the text!

Better Than Before!

A few weeks back the Giraffes were practicing a play from their reading group and we filmed them - they were practicing reading with awesome expression and now they've done another to compare them!

We think they are better than before - what do you think?

Reading Rejiggle

This term our reading has really taken off - we have become more confident using reading strategies and now we can do more than just decode the words!

We can skim to find information, sound out tricky words, use excellent expression, use our prior knowledge to help us understand a text, summarise AND more! Now that we can use so many different skills, we've had a change around in our reading groups. We've kept the same names of the groups (Elephants, Leopards, Lions and Giraffes) but the some of the people and level of reading has changed!

A HUGE well done to everyone who has worked hard, read their book every night at home and practiced at school - you have all improved and become better than before!

Here's a list of the new reading groups :)

Elephants - Level 21 reading Gold - Tyra and Jazer.

Leopards - Level 22 reading Gold- Frank, Anthony, Limiteti and Alicia.

Lions - Level 23 reading Silver - Peni, Guinevere, Agueer, Nowar, Tristan and Kotipi.

Giraffes - Level 25 reading Emerald - Taniela, Riiana, Jessica, Leanah and Dora.
