Mrs. Kolenberg was reading her tweets one day and a teacher mentioned an ‘author’s chair’ as being a way to encourage children to write during Work On Writing time.
So she bought a VERY special chair that people can sit on only when they have shown that they are an author and have done some fantastic writing.
The chair is almost magical and makes you continue to do really great writing. We can’t wait to be the next ‘author’ to sit on the chair!
We had a Junior Primary Assembly today. We thought it would be fun to show some of our learning using the CAFE strategies. One of the strategies we have been looking at is ‘flip the sound’. This song helped us to remember what sounds the vowels make and therefore how we could use them in our reading.
It was a fun way to learn them!

Today rooms 3 and 4 talked together about picking books that are a good fit. Mrs. K and Miss C brought along some footwear and they talked about them having a specific purpose and that they needed to fit to be worn successfully.
It’s the same when we read. We need to make sure the books we read are suitable for us and that we know the words and understand what we are reading.
Here is a sign that will help your child to remember to choose the perfect book!
