Buddy Reading

For part of our Book Week celebrations we did some buddy reading with Room 8. It was really cool to hear some of our buddy's read some really challenging books! Thanks Room 8 for coming to visit!

  

Fun Day Friday

On Friday Totara were lucky enough to be invited to the High School to view their science fair.
We also had a busy period after assembly with our buddy class, Room 8. They are doing a country study for the Olympics and we helped them research their questions. Next week we are going to use our trch skills and help them with their presentations.

Maori Language Week

For Maori Language Week we have worked with our buddy class to make Fortune Tellers. The questions are in Te Reo and so are the answers. We used a template to make our first one and then we made our own using our chrome books. 

Buddy Reading With Room 8

This week Room 8 came to Room 17 with their reading books. We created a Google Slide using the text from their reading books and then helped the Room 8 children create a Screencastify of them reading. Here is a perfect example from Cal and Jake.



Here is another cool example from Holly and Aimee.


Great work guys!

Buddy Sharing with Room 8
