Literacy

This week we will be learning two more important reading strategies to help us sound out words more accuratley when we are decoding text. 

Lips the Fish

Chunky Monkey

We practiced using these strategies during reading and marking places where we had done so with sticky notes to share with our peers later.

Writing Simple Sentences:

This week we are looking at What is a Sentence? How do we know? What parts make up a sentence? We will be identifying parts of a sentence and writing our own.

We then practiced writing our own. We will continue working on identifying and writing complete sentences and soon strething our sentences so that they become more interesting!

Safety Week!

Yesterday we had our first practice Fire Drill of the year. We were out of the building in 1 minute and 50 seconds. We practiced the 3 S's of a Fire Drill: Safe, Silent and Serious.

Today we had a practice lockdown. We praticed where to sit in the room and how to be quiet and patient for the whole time. 

Tomorrow we will practice our Evacuation walk to William D Pratt.

Thursday we will be talking about road safety and pedestrian cross walk procedures. 

It is important to practice these skills so that we are prepared in any situation.
