MORNING TEA
Today Mrs Donnelly in Room 16 is going to a meeting for the middle block. We will be having the Room 16 learners in our room during this time.
You will each be buddied up with a Room 16 MKid. They will read you a story, then you will choose a text to read them. Then you will continue with our class reading activities and they have a learning activity to complete.
Part way through the block, you will check in with your buddy and see how they are going with their learning activity.
At the end of the block you will check they have finished their mahi, then you will take them and their learning back to their classroom before we go to lunch.
As Room 16 needed support with their activities throughout, these will be moved to Friday's mahi.
Your Reading time mahi!
Once you have finished reading with your buddy...
