Recount byTatiana

Yesterday Monday the 19th of October 2009 Nicole, Alene and Baby Cooper came to visit Room8 students and Mrs Moopanar for Roots of Empathy lesson.

At Roots of Empathy we sang a welcome song called “Hello Baby Cooper”. Then Alene put baby Cooper on the mat. During the session we all just found out that Baby Cooper had achieved a milestone. His milestone was that he grew his first tooth. After that we gave some toys to Baby Cooper to play with. Next we learnt about empathy. Empathy means understanding people’s feelings.

Finally it was time for Baby Cooper to go home. We sang a goodbye song to Baby Cooper and then we shook his foot. Thereafter everyone went home.

Yesterday Nicole came into our class for a Roots of Empathy session. The first thing that she did was set the mat. Then she outside went and waited for Baby Cooper and his mum, Alene. We sang the welcome song when they entered.

Then Alene put Baby Cooper on the mat. Nicole gave a ball to Baby Cooper. Then we sang some nursery rhymes to him. After that Hola gave a book of poems to Baby Cooper.

Finally we sang the goodbye song to him. It was fun to be with Baby Cooper.

Recount of a Roots of Emapthy session by Mara

On Monday the 19 of October 2009, Nicole Alene and Baby Cooper came for a visit to Room 8. They came because we had a Roots of Empathy session. We had to put baby Cooper on the mat and we had to sit in the circle. Alene said that Baby Cooper was getting some teeth and getting heavy. We saw him grabbing toys and trying to crawl.

Then Nicole got her bag and took out her fake doll. She held it and gave it to Baby Cooper smiled and started to dribble. Next we put him back, sang a rhyme to him and gave him a nursery rhymes book. Then Hola had to speak about the book that made last Monday.

Finally we stood in a circle and Alene was holding baby Cooper going around the circle. We sang the good bye song. I had fun.

My Neighbourhood

The things I like about my neighbourhood is the pools, park and the Internet cafe .

I like the swimming pool because they are clean and have fresh air for me to breathe in. I also enjoy the park because it has lots of equipment for me to play on. I really like the internet café because I get to play games on the computer and look at our school blog and other things as well.

From my discussion above you can see the reasons why I really enjoy my neighbourhood.

June's neighbourhood

I like my neighbourhood because of the pools, shopping centre and school.

I like the pools because the life guards can teach people how to swim. I like the shopping centre because you can buy food and see many people there. I like school because you can see your friends and learn at school.

The above are some reasons why I like my neighbourhood.

Tatiana's neighbourhood

I like my neighbour hood because of the swimming pools, internet café and the shopping centres.

I like the swimming pools because there is a pool for little kids, one for big kids and one for adults. The pools are also clean. I also like the internet café because you can go on anything you like and its also cheap. The shopping centres are also great because there are all kinds of food and they are all cheap.
