Literacy Week: Buddy Reading with Room 8

Room 12 had their first buddy session with our buddy class for 2016, Room 8! We introduced ourselves and also talked about the book character that we had dressed up as. Then we read books from our red book boxes and listened to our buddies read their books. WE LOVE HAVING ROOM 8 AS OUR BUDDY CLASS!

Literacy Week- New Zealand Literature: Taniwha by Robyn Kahukiwa

What we did: • Listened to Miss S read the story Taniwha • Asked and answered questions like: What is a taniwha? What does a taniwha look like? What does a taniwha do? Where does a taniwha live? • Went outside and used chalk to draw our own taniwha on the concrete • Used describing words to talk about and write stories about our taniwha

Please feel free to visit our class and read our published stories about our taniwha!
