Reading to Self

Today, Room 16 looked at the importance of 'Reading to Self' and we spent some quiet time reading to ourselves. We explored the ways in which we can Read to Self and read for enjoyment. For me personally, reading is about being able to escape reality and lose myself in a book.

Room 16 are aiming to become competent independent readers who can carry out sustained silent reading. Hopefully by the end of the term, we will be able to last longer and longer reading to self.

After our silent reading session, we were very lucky to have Ezra, the Apple of our Eye, to share and read us one of his most cherished books "A Color of His Own" by Leo Lionni. 

Fantastic story and fantastic Mr. Ezra :) Thank you!

Room 16's Assembly Item with Room 28

Today for assembly, Room 16 and Room 28 shared a few items with the school. 

Room 16 were busy during the week assembling their "thinking hats" and reasoning behind which thinking hat best reflected their personalities. Room 28 painted some trees to show the falling of the autumn leaves, along with a beautiful song and choreographed actions that they shared during assembly.

We were all very lucky to hear Nicole play us a piece on the keyboard. Nicole you are so talented and special, thank you for your beautiful piano piece!

Lucky last, I was able to lead Room 16 in the Korean Strawberry Counting game. Well done everyone!  There was such great concentration and focus, you did a great job :) 

Well done Room 16 and Room 28! We are so proud of you!!
