Inferring Teaching Session




Congratulations to the team who taught Room 5 about inferring. You went the extra mile and wrote excellent comments on the learners work. Well done! You really know your strategy well.

Summarising




After presenting our movies we decided to go one step further! Each Movie Making Group is also taking a lesson in Mrs Beaumont's class teaching their Reading Strategy. Jack, Jarod and Rosie were first off and (according to Mrs Beaumont) did a fantastic job. Teachers in the making. Well done!
