Number 10 Tawai Cres

This week our big book was "Number 10 Tawai Cres".

Each week we enjoy a new big book as part of our shared reading programme.  As a class we look at different strategies we can use to help us read the book.  We also spend time talking about the punctuation in the book, we look for high frequency words that we know and work on reading with an interesting voice.

This week we tried copying the style of writing in the big book ourselves and the children came up with all sort of fun things that happen at their house.  We had lots of fun ideas, Dads cooking, little brothers sleeping on the stairs, whanau going to circus and different family members on the computer.

The children also made a letterbox with their street number on it and we have a fun display on the wall of these learnings.
