Wow!  What a day Room 3 had today!  We had a visit from El Grego the magician about cyber-bullying and what a visit it was!  Your children were absolutely memorised watching him do things like make real live birds disappear then reappear, have bunches of flowers appear from 'inside' a cloth and so on.  In fact I'm not going to tell you what else he did ... have your child tell you when you look at the photos together :)

The highlight for us in Room 3 was when Hayley was brought up to help El Grego.  You did such an amazing job Hayley and we are sooo proud of you :)

This last magic trick had us stumped!  As you can see by the photos, El Grego put the beautiful bird into the box and then disassembled the box piece by piece until only the bottom was left.  There was just one problem .... what happened to the bird?????????????????

The older children looking after Room 3 at lunchtime had all sorts of theories ... including that the bird was perched behind him on his back or that it crawled up his sleeve .... what do you think?

Later on during Literacy,  our sound of the day was 'i'.  One of the activities today for the children to choose from as part of their self-directed learning programme, was the play dough.  I just loved all the chatting, making and sounding of the 'i' sound while they were playing.  It was awesome!!!!

Your children are loving being able to choose the activities that they want to do in order to learn and practice their letter sounds, basic words and practice their reading.  The classroom is just humming :)
