Literacy-Retelling- The Scarecrow’s Wedding

Our current topic is about celebrations and festivals. This week we are inquiring about weddings. Students have to read a shared book embedded on their class site and retell the story in their own words in their draft writing books. This a  great way to practise rewindable learning.

 

Term 4 Week 1

Namaste

Room 11 began term 4 with the celebration of Hindi Language Week. Children participated in an opening ceremony of Indian culture and language by lighting a lamp. Children dressed in cultural clothes. Watched a live streaming on the history, language and culture of India.  Everyone celebrated with food, bollywood dancing and Indian sweets. It was amazing event.

Commonwealth Games Room 11 Australia

Kia Orana
Room 11 is having a double celebration this week. Students are celebrating Cook Island Language Week and the Opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. We are representing Australia. Students had to research facts about Australia by searching for facts online and watching You Tube videos. Among many facts discovered and recorded in their writing books, we figured out that green and gold are colours that represent Australia and the slouch hat is popular. Students watched a video embedded on their class site on how to make a paper slouch hat using green and gold colours. The hats will be worn for the parade.
