Writing about the Variety Sho

Here is what some our class thought about our first Variety Show performance, the matinee.

Jacob: 
In the Variety Show I did good at singing at my parents. Tonight I want to put the microphone down for Todd. I am Venus too.

                                               

Koji:
When I was in the Variety Show I was good at singing loudly in the microphone and maybe I need to work on no elephant feet when i come down and no shouting in the microphone.

Holly:
In the Variety show I was outstanding at singing in the microphone. Tonight I will try to be better at looking at the audience. 

                                                       

Here are some of the other things we wanted to share with you.

Deon:
At the Variety show my family came to watch the solar system song. They said it was amazing.

Cameron:
On the Variety Show I saw my mum. She took some video.

                                                          

Brodie:
In the Variety show my favourite part was spinning the planet. My mum was there.

Variety Show Performance

We are Stars!!!

We have been working hard all term making props and learning our song for the Variety Show.


Did you know that we made our planets? .

On Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evening, we performed our Solar System Song to a huge audience. Some of us were very nervous.

We knew our words. We remembered to smile and we looked at our audience.

Mrs MacBeth is very proud of how hard we worked and how well we did.

If you missed our amazing performances, here is a video of one of our practices. 

Well done Room 9!!!!!

Welcome Miss S

 

My name is Kasia Szparagowska. I am 20 years old and I am in my first year of study at AUT to become a teacher. This is my second placement in Room 9. I will be here until the end of term. 

We have some exciting upcoming events like the Variety Show and Book week as well as working on a variety of art work. 

I am enjoying my time with Room 9 as they are a wonderful class.

Reading in Room 9 and 10

At reading time we work together with room 10. 

We share a big book and our weekly poem in Room 10 to start our reading time. 

Then we split into the two classes. Right now, the Ants, the Butterflies, the Ladybugs and the Bees work in Room 10 with Mrs MacBeth. The Dragonflies, the Grasshoppers, the Snails and the Spiders work in room 10 with Mrs Buchanan. 

Here are some of the things we do to help us with our reading. 

"Read to Self"

This is quiet practice of our reading book and other stories. 

"Listen to Reading"

We listen to stories being read to us. 

"Word Work"

We play games and do activities to help us read and write high frequency words. 

When we are stuck on a word we are learning to:

• Say the sounds in a word
• Read on or back
• Use the picture for clues
• Look for words within words

We are also learning to retell the story.
