The Fantastic Room 7 Readers.

As assessment for reports is currently underway, it is great to see that children are all progressing well. Many children are working towards developing fluency. This is what a fluent reader sounds like:
*Pays attention to punctuation.
*Reads the words smoothly.
*Reads at a 'just right pace'.
*Pays attention to dialogue.
*Emphasises important words.
*Uses his / her own volume to fit the mood.

I hope you find this helpful.

Mother's Day Breakfast

It was great to see lots of Room 7 Mothers at the annual Mother's Day breakfast. There were bacon butties, scones with jam and cream and a prize drawer for three lucky mums who won gorgeous flowers by Succulent. Thank you to all our lovely mums.
