New UOI - How we organise ourselves?

We have begun a new unit of inquiry called ' How we organise ourselves' We are inquiring into How our school is organised? Who works at our school? and How is our school similar and different to other schools?

International Mother Tongue Day

Last week we celebrated International Mother Tongue Day. Jessica Tan and Sebastian Howell's mums came in to the class to read a story in their mother tongue.

Jessica's mum Laura read 3 stories in mandarin. Laura comes from Singapore and was taught mandarin and english at school.

Sebastian's mum Natsimma comes from Thailand. She read us a story about a crocodile in thai and english. It was a great story.

Thank you for coming in to our class and sharing your language with us.

This is a picture of Laura Tan reading to our class.
