Reflecting on Reading

I wonder what the other reading groups can share?

Why do we come to school?

We have been thinking a lot this last week because we are learning how KC can help us with our learning.
Our first question was - "Why do we come to school?"

Once we had decided that we do a lot of learning at school, 

we talked about how we think we learn.

 Next we did some "wondering."

We asked ourselves a question that we want to know the answer to and we wrote it in our writing book.  Here are some of the things we wonder about.

Rosie: 

I wonder...How does a mermaid swim all the way to mermaid school?

Molly:

I wonder how ducks put their heads under the water to catch fish. At the lake I have seen them.

Jasmine:

I wonder if fish go down the waterfall.

Lily:

I wonder what the sunset looks like.

Emily:

I wonder how a hang glider flies and how it starts to fly in the sky.

Chrystal: 

I wonder how this noise gets in my ears. It hurts.

Nisha:

I wonder if Mum bought me an eating treat at the supermarket. I wonder what it might be. I wonder...

Wondering helps us to learn.  We can wonder about something and then try to find out the answer!

Birds

Last week we read a shared book about birds.  The book was non fiction which means the book was true. Some of the birds looked like this. They had been drawn.

Some of the pictures were photos, like this one.

We tried to draw our own pictures of birds.

We liked a video of a dancing bird in the book. 
But is that true? 
Do birds dance?        Well, yes they do!

Week 3 in Room 2

Room 2 are working hard at their learning.

We have started having turns on the computer and we are learning how to log in to Room 2.  We do some work on Funways and next we will learn about Study Ladder.  Some of us have been trying the ipad out for our spelling word practice. We all have to have our ICT agreements signed so that we can use the computers!

We are writing our stories in our books now. Lily and Leighton are sharing their work in these photos.





























We have been learning about words that start with a and we had to match the pictures. It was a bit tricky!  We helped each other to match them correctly.







Last week we started reading a big book about Henry the elephant.
We all had a turn at making a video of our own story. We were learning to remember a story and retell it in our own words!
