Reciprocal Reading

This week we are beginning reciprocal reading. This reading programme is currently being used in the Kahurangi Pod and it allows students to manage their own learning. Students work in small groups to read and have a role to teach other group members a comprehension strategy. Thanks to students from the Kahurangi Pod for helping us to get reciprocal reading up and running!








Writing Sharing Time

We have been learning to describe this term for writing. Here are some photos of our students sharing their descriptions about animals. Please feel free to come in and read them for yourself :)
