Welcome

to Room 16's New Website!

We are very excited to be able to have somewhere to post our ideas and work. We hope that this blog will be able to help us keep in touch with you at home. Please come and have a look at our pages. We will post a new page at the end of every topic so you are able to see what is happening in Room 16. We will also update the blog with up-coming events every Friday. Mrs Roodt will add homework onto the homework page as things come up.

We hope you enjoy our blog. Please have a look around.

Mothers Day

This term in week 3 and 4 we have been learning about our mums. We have read plays that are about mums during reading time to learn how to speak fluently and use expression. We have also written about our mums.

First, we learnt about similes. A simile is when you compare two things using like or as. Then we wrote simile poem for our Mother's Day cards. Here are some of our writing:

Friday Sport

Reading HomeLearning

Here you will find out about HomeLearning Reading

Every night Room 16 Students should be Reading for 20 Mins. Here are some things that

you can do to help your child with their reading:

Reading at home

Talk about their reading

Ask your child what they are reading and talk about their ideas: What is the ‘picture’ they have of particular characters? Are there people like that in your family or whānau? What do they want to find out from the book? What are the important messages? What do they think is going to happen next? What else do they need to know to understand the story or topic?
Talk about books on similar topics. This helps your child to pull together ideas from different places.
Talk about different types of stories that are read or spoken. Newspaper articles, internet sites, whakataukī (proverbs), comics, bible stories, songs, waiata or novels will each have different points you can talk about together. Find a newspaper article you’re both interested in and talk about what it means to each of you.
Help your child to share their thinking. Get them to share opinions and talk about why they think that. Listen, even when you don’t agree with their ideas.

Read together

Find out information together from different places. For example, manuals, dictionaries, the Internet, magazines, television guides, atlases, family tree information, whakapapa.
Play games that involve reading in a fun way.
Encourage your child to read to others.
Younger brothers and sisters, whānau or grandparents are great audiences for practising smooth and interesting reading out loud.
Visit the library regularly. Help your child choose books they’re interested in (about hobbies, interests or who they are and where they come from) or encourage them to get books out that are about what they are studying at school. They may need you to help by reading to them, as well.
Find books of movies or TV programmes. It can help your child to learn different ways to tell the same story if they read the ‘stories’ they have watched.
