Riveting Robots!

The Lions reading group in Room 6 have practiced a play in their reading lesson and did so well that Room 6 videoed them to share on our blog.

Have a listen to them performing Robot Wars from their school journal for the week! Their expression sounds great - we thought they sounded like great robots!

Lovely Lions Loud Mouths!

Last week the lions reading group were practicing reading with loud clear voices and using expression in a play.

First Jazer recorded them acting out their play, but it was far too quiet and there was too much background noise from the other reading groups, so we needed to do it again when it was quieter.

Have a listen to take two below, which was filmed by Nowar! We think it could be even louder! Could you give them any other tips?

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.
