Swimming in Vardon School pool

For seven weeks we had fun playing games and learning to swim in our school pool. Every afternoon  we swam with Room 6.  By watching each other and copying our friends, we learnt many new skills.    We can float and kick using long arms, we can float on our backs, we can float and kick with flutter boards, we can dive through hoops and we just loved having showers in the pool. What do like like doing in the school pool?

Buddy Class

We are lucky to have Room 12 for our Buddy Class this year.  We are planning to share our learning with them.  Some of our Room 12 buddies came to our classroom and read us picture books.  It is great getting to know these seniors and we often see them in the playground too. Sometimes they play games with us.  Thank you Arazoo, Usman, Latrel, Savannah and Zaeleh for being our Buddies.

Learning the letter sounds

Every week we learn a new letter sound.  So far we have learnt the letter sounds a, t  and  s.  Last Friday we made some yummy toast.  Can you guess which letter sound we were learning?  This week we are learning the letter sound for i  and we have learnt that there are 2 sounds - a short sound for i ( as in  is ) and a long sound ( as in like).  What do you think we might make for the letter sound i ?
