Bonjour from Bilbies!

Thursday, June 24, 2010











In our library time today we read 'The Chicken Goes to Paris.' We read this book because it has been chosen for Book Week in August. We learnt that the word 'bonjour' means hello! We drew pictures of other places Mr Chicken could visit and stuck him in these places. It was fun! We know this is a fiction book because it is made up and just for fun!
Love

Hello From Koalas!


Today, we've been drawing places for Mr Chicken to visit. Mr Chicken is the main character in the book we read today. The book was called 'Mr Chicken Goes To Paris.' This is one of the books chosen for Book Week and it is a fiction book!
Love

Learning about Fiction...and Dinosaurs!

Thursday, June 17, 2010




I didn't have a chance to write this entry with Early Stage 1 today during their library lesson, because we were just so busy! First, we looked at the books nominated for book of the year for book week 2010. Then, we listened to the story 'Dinosaur in the Park' on the SMARTboard complete with sound effects. This tied in beautifully with their excursion to the dinosaur show yesterday.

We drew parks on paper plates and then coloured in a dinosaur and stuck him on top so that he was in the park just like in the book. The students are learning the term 'fiction' and 'non fiction' and most were able to tell me that this story was a fiction story-made up! Congratulations Bilbies and Koalas. You are a delight! Bilbies are pictured with the finished product! feel free to leave a comment.


Cheers,

What we have done so far...

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Since we have already hit June (and hasn't the time flown?!!), I thought I'd bring you up to date with what has been happening in library lessons so far.

In Term One, students studied a topic called 'Love Your Library' where they became familiar with the layout and we read lots of books and did fun activities based around these books.

In Term Two, we have been studying a topic called 'The Story of Me' where students have been learning about asking questions, where to find the best information (in this case, the answer was from you-their parents and guardians!) and next term, we are moving onto our preparations for Book Week which will be held in August. Students will do activities based on all of the nominated books for younger readers and look at the picture books.

It has been a pleasure to teach Early Stage One and I hope you enjoy following their journey through this medium. We have decided to launch this due to the lack of computers in the library at present whilst we await our great new library as this blog helps to expose the students to technology-one of the skills they pick up in library lessons.

Cheers,
Mrs Ramage :)
