Kererū Blog

Wow some more fabulous books shared today in class. We have absolutely loved being introduced to many wonderful books this term. Well done to everyone for sharing your favourite book. Mrs Allen's favourite book has been shared too!

The Kereru hubs are lucky enough to be getting some Turbo touch sessions in on a Monday afternoon.  Kereru 20 braved the rain and the cold for our first experience.  We learnt some great skills and the children loved it, despite the weather!

We had some more wonderful book reports on Friday.  We are so excited each week to see what books the children are going to share with us.   Maggie blew us away with a review on "Zumbarons", a delicious macaroon cookbook!!  We were even treated to a wee taste test, and boy oh boy, they were very yummy! So yummy!!!! Lucky children!! Amelia shared he favourite picture book - "The Tiger Who Came to Tea."  A Mrs Allen and Mrs Hill favourite too!   Stella gave a wonderful review of 'The 26-Storey Treehouse", she really enjoyed this story!

Book Character Day Wow!  What an amazing effort all the students made for Book Character Day.  They all looked fabulous in their costumes.   A special mention to Ethan who won the Year 3/4 best costume in the whole school costume parade. Well done Ethan! A special mention to Ritsuki who  also represented Kererū 19 in the book character parade. Here's a selection of our amazing costumes! Plus of course all the Wallys!!!

We have been so impressed with the confident way the children have been presenting their reports to us.  It has been really interesting learning about the books the children enjoy reading.   Lexie made a beautiful poster on "The Cloud Castle", a Thea Stilton novel. Evan presenting a very interesting book report on 'The World's Worst Teachers' - we certainly don't have any of those at St Albans!!!! Digby shared his love of Harry Potter novels and told us all about "The Philosopher's Stone".

Wow! We have been completely blown away with the wonderful Book Reports the children have been presenting as part of their Oral Language news on a Friday. We have looked at a real mix of books - fiction, non fiction, chapter books, picture books. The way the children have presented them has been really creative - notes and by memory, posters, book creator on the iPad and even their own books about the book. Well done. We love your confidence when speaking in front of an audience!
