As usual we started the day with Jump Jam. We are now being rewarded for extra effort with jump jam certificates which turn into one Plateau School dollar. We are earning dollars to spend on free time every second week. There will be a system where we can purchase the use of equipment for free time. Mrs Roberts looked at the job application forms for bank teller and has appointed 4; Ashleigh, Sam, Clay and Ellie.
After we had jump jam we did the role and took it in turns to tell the class the name in Te Reo of different classroom objects.
We are trying to finish our shared book, so Mrs. Roberts read The Ranger's Apprentice for 20 minutes. Then we continued with our statistical enquiry into what types of games Ruru class most like playing.
After morning tea Mrs. Roberts read some more of the shared book and then read some of How to Cook Children because we are learning to write instructions. We then started writing our recipes for how to cook witches.
Some people's writing were particularly grisly. Josh did a great job of thinking up nasty ingredients such as slime from a dead cat and dog vomit.
Then it was time to get into our reading groups and read our group reading books. Ruru room worked really well during reading time and two groups were paid a dollar each for their efforts.
After lunch it was singing time and then we continued our research into games and finishing off tasks which we had already started.
Before we went home Mrs. Roberts read some more!
