Buddy Reading

On Thursday Rm. 13 took advantage of the beautiful, spring weather to do some buddy reading outside with Rm. 3.

We had a great time reading to each other and sharing our books. Miss Rooke and Miss Barratt were blown away by each others' talented and enthusiastic readers.

Here are some photos of us enjoying reading together:

Shake, rattle and roll!

In Rm. 13 we've been learning all about natural disasters for our topic. We've been looking at different types of natural disasters, learning the warning signs, finding out what to do to keep safe and checking who we can rely on to keep us safe or help us afterwards.

Last week we used our drama skills to share advice with our classmates on what to do if disaster strikes.

One group shows a family on skiing holiday when the mountain starts to erupt. Another shows a family waking up during an earthquake and finding they've got no power.
One group shows some children at school when a nearby river starts to flood. Another shows a class that gets caught in an unexpected tornado.
One group shows some friends listening to the radio when a tsunami warning is broadcast. Can you work out which group is which and what their advice is?
