Jacob's tooth

At Kapahaka today we had some excitement, so we thought we had better write a letter to the Tooth Fairy. Do you think the Tooth Fairy will like our letter?

Friday 8 April 2011

Dear Tooth Fairy

Today at Kapahaka when we were practising the rakau Jacob banged his top front tooth.

He thought it was just bleeding but his tooth had actually come out.

We looked for the tooth at morning-tea time but it is nowhere to be found.

We are very sorry, please be kind to Jacob.

Love from Room One and Ms Daniels

Reading Poll Results

We trialled running a poll via our blog.
We asked people to vote on "What do good readers do?"
Our overwhelming response was that good readers use lots of strategies (clues) to help them work out words they don't know or to work out meaning.

A good reader can:
1/ Use picture clues
2/ Read-on
3/ Re-read
4/ Sound it out
5/ Use blends and chunks

The closed poll and its results can be found at the very bottom of our blog.
