Term 1 Reading Rockstars

Well done boys.   It didn't take much to win the end of term prize.   I hope you enjoy the books.

Andy Griffiths is great!

The whole class knew there would be a prize for the top readers.  To be a top reader you need to have the highest homework reading score for the term.  

I wonder who will win the Term 2 prize.

Reading ownership

We are learning to take ownership of our learning.  We are using Tellagami to record our reading.
We need to be sensible and not spend lots of time creating a character.  Once we have recorded our reading we will listen to it and assess our work. We will come up with our own two stars and a wish.  Once we feel we have mastered the wish, we can record ourselves again and decide on new two stars and a wish.

You will get to see more of our 'Gami' on the blog.  Here is a sample...
