Movies at Discovery

This week the children have been preparing for movie time at Discovery. They have been making money, tickets and decorating popcorn bags.

Today The year one classes went to the movies in Room 13. Everyone had to buy an admission ticket, get it clipped as they went into the room, then line up for a bag of popcorn. The children enjoyed sitting in the darkened room watching the movie.

Thanks to Mrs Hurren and Mrs Turner for this lovely learning experience.

Tuesday 5 August

The sun was shining today at Sunflower Club. Today we looked at letters and words and used the magic pen to find things with a's' sound.

Then we listened to a story about Annie Apple. She is clever and can make sounds at the beginning of words like alligator, astronaut and ant. 

We made ants. Can you see our scary faces?

Reading Together Programme

On Wednesday evening we had our second workshop of the Reading Togethe Programme. We started off by enjoying some pizza and Danny from the Upper Hutt Public Library talked about his role. 

Our focus in the workshop was assessing if texts were easy, instructional or too hard. 

The parents and their children had time to read together and put into practice some of the strategies we had talked about in the first workshop.
