Teaching five year olds is such a great, rewarding and fun job....today my lovely Room 10 were very kind to each other and I loved listening to some of the great things they had to say to each other....and love that such young children can teach us all so much.
Here are some of the lovely things I heard today
"I read like a Champion" Imogen
"Ollie, you read like the wind" Ava
"Wow, Max, that is amazing writing" Josh
"I did really great writing today" Rachel
"Mrs Pelham, Jarod just did amazing reading" Tane
"Imogen rubbed my back and made me feel better when I was sad" Rachel
"I love your helicopter Charlotte B" Max
"Lily is such a little star" Ava
"Thank you for helping me cut my helicopter out, you are such a kind friend" Ollie to Charlotte D
"I really like my friends" Kai Ying
Thank you for being you Room 10 children, you are all truly precious and make me smile every day

Spot the teacher!
Yesterday at reading time I asked Ava and Ollie to read together and record themselves on the ipad. I loved listening to this video clip. It shows what a super reader Ollie is and also what a wonderful, caring and encouraging person Ava is.
Have a listen and see if you smile as much as I did.

Rory's very own Picasso
Today Rory brought along a Picasso picture that his parents bought in a special Picasso art museum in Paris. This picture hangs on Rory's bedroom wall. It is similar to A Handful of Flowers that we studied.
Thanks for sharing with us Rory.

Maths Thinking
We have been learning how to make number sentences at maths time.
Today we worked with a partner and took turns at being the teacher.
We used the tens frames to help us write number stories.
We are very good at being able to explain our thinking and we use maths words really well too.
Here are some of us working together.

Charlotte's lovely idea
Today at reading time I was very excited because Charlotte D came to me and asked me to take a photo of her and put it on the blog.
This is what she wanted to say
"I had my penguin and then I had two cardigans, one was Kacie's and one was mine. We had a little basket and we made a snuggly bed for my penguin."
