Reading Together Workshop.

READING TOGETHER WORKSHOP

Reading Together is a research-based group programme, developed in New Zealand, which helps parents and caregivers support their children’s reading at home.  It provides additional ways to assist children in becoming better readers and writers.  
It consists of four workshops – each approximately 1 hour.
  
We are currently running a workshop for the parents of Rooms 5 & 6 children. We intend to run the programme twice a year. If you are interested in participating in one of these please contact the school office, or visit Room 5 or 6 to put your name down.


The children loved having their mums at school so that they could read with them.

Cross Country

We had an excellent day for our Cross Country. We had lots of practice over the past few weeks. Everyone ran as fast as they could and enjoyed themselves. Here are a few pictures taken on the day. It was great to see all the family members there to support the children. 



Rockets with Mrs Prattley

Today we made these rockets with Mrs Prattley. It was a lot of fun. We had to follow the directions carefully to make our own rocket and a big one for the classroom.

The Solar System

We are beginning to learn about "The Solar System". Aiva and her dad made this fabulous poster for us to display in the classroom.
