Good afternoon everyone,

This morning the children entered the classroom into our very first come read with me for 2019! Come read with me is a time for children to explore their reading and parents who have completed their school volunteer pack are welcome to stay and engage in exploring the beautiful literature of books with your child 🙂 We will be starting our Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings with come read with me!

Through come read with me, students started to flow and transition into our play based investigations which saw students flourish as they entered a stage of flow, immersed in their learning by discussing and sharing ideas with peers. The students used their resilience to create and explore their imagination in creating everything from a shop/restaurant, wall, love hearts with hama beads, to recreating the dragon dance, and a magic show.

After lunch R/1MS, R/1EQ and R/1EN engaged in a moment of mindfulness before reflecting on our investigation time through either illustrations or writing, exploring their articulation of what they engaged with in their play time.

To finish up our amazing day of fun filled learning, R/1EN and R/1MC reflected on what it means to have safe hands. Noting what it looks like, sounds like and feels like.

Likewise, R/1EQ and R/1MS finished our day off with prayer, which will happen each afternoon before we dismiss the students. Today’s was very special as it was the first time our classroom assistants led our prayer, the students created their own prayers with the theme of ‘having a good day’.

Alexander –  Dear God, Thank you for letting us have lots of fun. Amen

Eva – Dear God, Thank you God for making everyone. Amen

Wishing everyone a pleasant evening ready for a fun filled day tomorrow 🙂

God Bless
