Circle Time | Literacy

At school every Wednesday, we do circle time. Today at circle time, we learnt about communication. To be exact, listening. We found out that paying attention and listening to the person when they’re talking is helpful for them to understand that we are listening to them and are interested.

We also learnt the three R’s: Repeat, Reflect and respond , repeat meant that if you are listening you are able to repeat the question or conversation. Reflect means that you can reflect on what you’ve been told. Respond means you can respond nicely or actually respond rather than ignoring them.

School Lunches T3 W2

The new school lunches are way better than they used to be, today it was burritos and they were really nice and I would give them a 9/10.

The lunches on Wednesday was lasagne with warm garlic bread buffet rolls. I would give the Lasagne a 9/10 as well because it was really yum but the garlic bread buffet rolls alone were 10/10.
