Today I asked a group of student to create a presentation that explained to all - What learning happens when we head off to Technology, every second Friday. This is what they can up with in 45 minutes. Not bad, I say.

March of the Penguins.
This week for AVAILLL we are focusing on 'March of the Penguins.'
The lesson WALT: read like we talk.
What a beautiful movie to watch and read. The movie script is enhanced by strong visual images... but what if you can not see the film?... what if your teacher turns off the video link? Can you still see images in your mind?
We need to use F.U.N = Fluency, Understanding, Native Image to help us improve our reading skills. Good readers use the punctuation marks to help them phrase the text better, when they read out aloud, just like the narrator of this movie, Morgan Freeman. If you phrase your reading correctly, then you are able to understand the text. If you understand the text then you are able to visualise what is happening in the reading.
Room 6 was given a script to practice on for 3 days because most students stated in their reading goals; I must practice my reading at home. HMmmmmmm I wonder who is working towards their reading goals? Click on a students blog to see.

Term 4 and Welcome Back!
Well the first week is over and I am packing up and getting ready for the weekend.
We are still focusing on Kia Kaha (Anti Bullying) and making sure we respect and work with anyone and everyone.
This week, students of Room 6 had to video themselves reading an extract from Bridge To Terabithia. Wasn't that a surprise for them. Once they watched themselve a couple of times, they had to briefly analyse how they were reading and then set reading goals for term 4.
Hopefully each student will follow through on their goals, so that they will see improvements in their reading.
To see their reading video and goals, please visit my students' blog.
