Our Newbies Learn to Read

We are so proud of all the hard work Room 11 have been putting into their reading.  

Thank you to all the Mummy's, Daddy's, brother's, sister's, grandparent's and 'add-ons' that have been helping us. You are doing a great job. I have noticed a HUGE improvement with everyone remembering their letter sounds and Word Bank words. Ka pai!

I just wanted to share this video I captured today of our two newest class members Indigo and Zoey. This is just their second time EVER reading a story and look at them go!

• Can you see them using the pictures to help them work out a word? 
• Can you see them scanning from left to right? 
• Can you see them pointing to each word as they read it?

So many skills being used at once. 

Super proud. Miharo!

Stu Duval - Author in Residence

It is literacy week at Sunnyhills School and for the past few days we have had author and illustrator Stu Duval in residence.

Yesterday he told us the most AMAZING story and gave us great tips for creating our own cartoon characters using letters.

Here is a video and some pictures from the morning.

Check out his website - you can learn heaps of cool things including how to draw dinosaurs!

Have a go and bring your creations into school to show us!
