Well, it has definitely been a while since my last update! It is now week 9.

What has happened in the meantime? Easter certainly did, and the kids wrote letters to the Easter Bunny as part of our letter writing for written language. The short week after Easter I did a lot of running records (reading tests) on the children, both individual and whole class, and so they were fantastic doing their independent work. They wrote letters, did reading, and kept themselves quietly busy.

We read another Book Awards book at the library on Friday and it seemed to go down quite well. There have been a few overdue notices go home recently, so please remember to bring those overdue books back.

I know that I was slack in giving out reading on Friday, but with the short week and everything else, it sort of didn't happen. Then today I think I had the most kids I've ever had NOT turn up with a book bag. The reading is all set for the week, so I hope to see more book bags tomorrow as people bounce back from their weekend.

Topic is going... slowly. We didn't get a chance to do much last week, so we're going to do a bit of a catch up this week and hopefully get some good headway on it. Tomorrow the kids are going to find out that they'll need to present their topic findings in poster form to show the class! We'll see how they take it. :-)

So for now, ciao!
