Room 14
During Book Week we had whanau visit us in Ruma 14 and see what we do at reading time and to read to us. We sang some literacy songs, wrote our heart words and read some of our favourite books. We showed kotahitanga by making our visitors feel welcomed. We used our kotahitanga by sharing the resources and activities.
Room 6
In Rūma Ono, we have been utilising fluency buddies to extend their reading comprehension and fluency. This week we have been reading a shared text about genetics and inheritance, and learning all about the traits we share with our family members. We start our whole class reading lessons by tracking the words while Whaea Gina reads, then splitting off into fluency buddies to read the text again. Buddy A reads first, then Buddy B reads and is supported by Buddy A as needed. Later in the day, we apply our understanding of the topic by writing about what we have read, in the context of inherited traits in our family. We have shown amazing kotahitanga by working well with our fluency buddies, and whakamana by reading and writing about science, and not giving up when we don’t understand straight away.
