Kia ora everyone,
It's hard to believe that it is Week 6 already! Tomorrow, Room 11 are running the Awards Assembly. If you're able to, please do pop along at 9:20 and have a nosey…
Congratulations to Waka and Olivia F who are receiving Principal's Awards this fortnight. A special congratulations to Waka who is this fortnight's Russley Star Student. Have a look at his interview in the office.
While Miss. Biergard has been teaching this week I've been conducting some reading testing. I am very impressed with how everyone's reading is improving! Here's this week's reading spiel:
“Do an extreme reading makeover! The goal of an extreme reading makeover is to change his immediate surroundings at home/school to a new reader friendly space:
* cool reading light
* bean bag
* reading fort
* eBook reading area
*magazine rack
* Lego games
(Getting Boys to Read – Mike McQueen, p35)
Book suggestion
Timmy Failure by Stephan Pastis
Take 11 year-old Timmy Failure - the clueless, comically self-confident CEO of the best detective agency in town, perhaps even the nation. Add his impressively lazy business partner, a very large polar bear named Total. ... and you have a great read!
Have a great weekend everyone!
