What's Termites?

In the first chapter of the book, Pim learns about termites as he goes out into the big world with his mother for the first time. He cant believe that aardvarks eat termites, he much prefers his mother milk. Mrs Aardvark assures Pim that he will one day, enjoy termites.

Josh and Neha, started the week off by telling us about termites when they did their orals. The children were fascinated and enjoyed learning about them. 

We are using this book to introduce our classes to nouns, adjectives and verbs. This week we began by learning about what nouns were, and identifying the many nouns in the first chapter. 

We also aim to improve reading fluency and expression by reading a summarized version of each chapter each day in class using a Prezi and a reading sheet for homework. Both Gill and I are so impressed at how wonderfully everyone has been reading this week. 

Tomorrow we have a fun activity planned, and Kwandile ends the week with his termite oral...watch this space!
