Buddy Reading

As this week has been all about brilliant books, we met our buddies to snuggle up and read. It was wonderful to see our buddies and enjoy a warm cup of hot chocolate and and share a marshmallow whilst reading stories to each other.

Target Achieved

A big well done to Khanh Nhu and Billy who have achieved their first targets and will be thinking about their new targets now.

Brilliant Books

"Swap old stories for new adventure "

What ?   A book swap . A book swap is an exchange of books. It's a nice way to refresh your collection and give a second life to unwanted books.On collection day, for each book brought to school, a token will be given. Children, parents, teachers, staff members will be able to use their token in exchange for books on the swap day. 

When ? The swap will happen on Thursday October 8th, but before that date, we need some help from parents to collect the books, give the tokens, sort out the books and finally run the stalls on the event day.

How can I help ? 

1    Donate books, but remember they have to be in good condition; damaged books will be refused. All kind of books, even in foreign languages (Korean, French, German, Vietnamese etc...), for kids, for adults etc.. 

      Help to sort and categorise the donated books.

      Run the stalls on the day of exchange in the foyer.

So please consider signing up to contribute to the school community. If you drop/pick up your child from school, come a bit earlier and receive the books and give the tokens in exchange. On the swap day, come earlier, help set up the "swap library" and help run the exchange. It will take place during school hours. 

Please sign up online : http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0d4dafaa29a4ff2-book or in the foyer on the Parents Info board. 

Thank you for your time and help. We hope to see a lot of books and parents at this event to share the love of reading :) 

How am I going to get better?

How am I going to write better is a question that I want all children in 4T to be able to answer. We will all be working towards our targets and I would like to say a really big well done to Po who achieved his first writing target this week. Keep working towards your targets 4T and we will all be better writers. 

Can you use speech marks write writing these arguments?

 Use your video from yesterday's lesson to write down a conversation. Remember to use lots of synonyms for said and include all your speech marks.

Targets Achieved!

The children in 4T have now had time to think about how they are going to improve this year and what they need to do to improve in their writing. Well done to Quoc Vinh, Iris, Quynh An, Risa and Vani who have all already met one writing target and will be thinking about their new ones soon. 

Adventure Story Writing

We had great fun listening to Mr Mike reading Sir Charlie Stinky Socks and the Really Big Adventure. Great to hear lots of fantastic predictions and comments about the book.

We discussed the structure of the story and will be looking at this in more detail next week.
