Reading Enthusiasm!

It has been so exciting to hear the enthusiastic buzz of readers researching and scheming using the new National Library books this week. The first project you voted in was the candle holder one.

For this you will need a glass jar. Small jars are the most suitable for this project. They will need to have the labels removed from them. It doesn't matter if you don't still have the lid.

All of these jars would be suitable.

The jar candle holder project will take place next Friday so you have a bit of time to find a jar!

Congratulations Tahnul!

Tahnul's guess of the 24th July for hitting 6000 page views on the blog was the closest. Keep watching and learning Room 17!

Hoki Mai Jules!

It was exciting to get an email from Jules yesterday.

It sounds like she's having a lovely time.

Folk Dancing Fun Fair

Today we were asked to be visiting experts to the Year 0/1 team. They are about to begin learning some folk dances and they wanted to see some of the Junior School leaders dancing.

We thought:

• that was exciting exercise
• the little kids learned really quickly
• it was terrific that the little kids taught us the birdie dance at the end
• it was great fun being with the little kids
• it was enjoyable being out in the sunshine
• it was absolutely amazing performing to such a large audience
• they were fantastic to pick up the dance so quickly
• the line dance was a great way to teach the Jiffy Mixer so quickly to so many people
• that performing was the most enjoyable part (well some of us did)
• we were very hot by the end
• it was really fun to choose little buddies to dance with
• it was fantastic fun spending time with the little kids

Thanks for inviting us we can't wait to see your folk dancing later in the term!

Some Lovely Feedback!

Welcome to Term Three!

Yippee! We are all together again. Today we have caught up on each others' news and views of the holidays.
There are a few things we'd like to ask about:

1. Tissues - can we please have some boxes of tissues to help us keep our noses clean this term? Some families have already sent boxes along earlier in the year - thanks for that!
   
2. Headphones - we could use a few more pairs of headphones in Room 17 to use when we're learning from the blogs. If you have a spare set hanging around home we'd really appreciate using them here.
