Exploring our local library

 This week we ventured down the hill to visit our local library.  One of the many highlights of the week is our visit to the school library to explore our collection of books. Many of the Autahi learners choose to buddy read throughout the day and even spend part of their lunchbreak in the library.

So it made sense that as the weather was turning to some sunshine that we got out and started exploring our local community and the library is such a good place to start.

 As a class we wrote a letter to our school librarian Kirsten to tell her about the kinds of books we like. Exploring genres that allow us to dial up our strength of Curiosity and learn more about our interests. 

In Maths we collected data about what we were looking for in books and did some sorting of that data into whether it was fiction or non-fiction.

At the library we went looking for all of the different kinds of books we might like and even issued a few for us to enjoy in the classroom. Beth and Carl picked out a few for us to use for our oral narrative in the classroom over the next few weeks. For more about Oral Narratives check out this blog here.

We had such a great time at the Library and we encourage you and your whanau to check out some books together too!
