Each of our primary classes has an early childhood buddy class. We get together to do activities like reading, origami, a maths challenge or artwork, either weekly or fortnightly. Today it was time to visit our Kinder buddy class.
As it’s Book Week, each of our students chose a book to read to their buddy. It had to be Australian in its content or at least be written by an Australian author.
Once the 2/3s had read to their buddy, they wrote about their narrative and drew a picture together.
There was lots of reading, chatting and sharing going on in the kinder classroom. The students were building relationships, negotiating the task and developing their skills in discussing a text. It seems our next buddy session is already something to look forward to!
