Writing About the Duffy Assembly

"I got my Duffy book in the Assembly.  Me and Ofili got the box."

"I like the Duffy books.  The Duffy books are cool."


"At Assembly we got a box of Duffy books.  Thank you Dominion Constructors."  Dictated to the teacher by Harmeny

A Special Duffy Assembly

Today we had a special Duffy assembly.  Each class was given a box of books so each child could receive a Duffy Book to take home a book to treasure  thanks to Kevin and Carol of Dominion Constructors who sponsored the books.

Filipo and Ofili are all smiles when they collected our books.

Darren's Robot

Darren built a robot when he was playing with the Duplo before school.  I liked the way he used the blocks to make a head with eyes, a nose and spiky hair, arms and a body.

Kalylah's Duffy Award

Kalylah has been practising her reading each night at home as well as putting lots of effort into her follow up reading activities on her iPad, so she was the winner of Room 16's Duffy Award for week 7 in Term 1.

Lunch Box Heroes

Room 16 had two children's names pulled out of the Lunchbox heroes box this week.  Harmeny was very brave and she went up on the stage to show the pineapple that she chose out of the cupboard.  Aie Sorn was too shy and Filipo was very kind to her and comforted her so she could have her photo taken.

Making iPad Patterns

We have been learning how to use the tools on our iPads.  We have learnt to take photos, duplicate shapes, lasso and cut out a shape and now we can lock the shape down so that it doesn't move.  Here are some of our efforts.

Matching Pairs

Filipo and Ofili had fun matching up the name mittens of all their class buddies and putting them into a long line.
