Last term Rooms 3 and 4 read Charlotte’s Web. We read a chapter and then discussed what had happened and sometimes we drew pictures of what we could see in our mind. This was a perfect way to incorporate ‘Listening to Reading’ into our daily 5.As we were reading we discussed new words and used them as extension words in the Reading Cafe.We also watched a DVD of  Charlotte’s Web at the end of the term and compared the similarities and differences between the movie and the book. 

This term we are going to design our own comics using the Scholastic Charlotte’s Web Site. Hopefully you will see some of them in a future post.

Here is a link to take you to the site so that you can practise at home.

Have fun making a comic and tell us what you thought about making it. Did you also enjoy reading the book?

Last term we worked with Mrs. Langham in the Library as part of our Unit of Inquiry. Our Unit involved working together in groups to plan a learning excursion and then present their ideas to Rooms 3 and 4.

Here we are with our new I-Pads. Most of them belong in the Library and we have one to use in our classroom.

We went to the Library once a week for Resource Based Learning. As a group, we chose some places we’d like to visit. We then researched them for things like distance from school, price and the learning outcomes. We had to work co-operatively with each other in order to make a successful descision.

These photos show you what we did in the Library to prepare for our presentations.

Stay tuned to see the presentations and our voting!
