Buddies
Why do we do buddy time with grade 1?
"When our buddies don't know a lot we are helping the grade 1s. We can help them read." - SS
"Kids take you as an example because you are older (being a role model)." - Finnley
"To know people better because Ramsay school is a family. We all need to be kind to each other and help people who are new to the school." - Felicia
"They get to know something we know and it's fun for them and for us too." - Viljo
"When we share with them a book we help them." - Jaivivaan
What did you like about reading with buddies?
"We like reading with our buddies because it helps them learn new words and everyone is having fun." Nollan
"I like the part where I helped them be confident and read louder and read some words that she doesn't get," - Aroosha
"Me and my buddy we were having fun reading funny books." - Sayed
"It was really fun and some of the books I hadn't read before, they were very funny." - Milu
What do you still love about picture books?
"They are funny and you can see the picture." - LD
"The art is beautiful and you can see what the author is thinking." - Nollan
"My favourite thing is that they can teach us a lot. I read one of my favourite books, Rainbow Fish, and it brought back good memories." - Felicia
"You can look at the pictures and there are still a good amount of words," - Finnley
"I like how they are hilarious and you can read 5 of them in 10 minutes." - Milu
"It made me feel like I was in grade 1 again and I had the best time ever," - Aroosha
Here are some pics from our September buddy activity where we gathered on the land and showed our appreciation of fall for Orange Shirt Day.
