Week 7, Term 2

Hi everyone

I hope you all had a relaxing weekend. I had a lovely time in Melbourne with my family and treasured the time spent with my wee granddaughter.

This week Julie is going to help at the Year 7 and 8 camp, so I will be teaching every day.

What's coming up?
We are leading Assembly at 9.00am on Friday with Room 3. Please join us if you are able.

Children need to be preparing poems ready for our Poetry Eisteddfod.  We will be listening to children's poems in Week 9 and selecting some children to perform their poems at the Eisteddfod in Week 10.  Room 7 may choose a nursery rhyme, a favourite poem or one from their poetry book.

The Poetry Marking Schedule

Introduction  5
Say the name of your poem
Say the name of the poet (if you know it)
Say why you chose the poem

Presentation 10
Say your poem with expression
Make eye contact with the audience
Try not to rush
Look like you are enjoying sharing your favourite poem

Preparation 5
Know your poem off by heart
Choose a poem that the audience will like

Voice 5
Use a loud voice so that we can all hear

Please remember to send along a jacket for cold days at Action Stations as well as playtime and lunchtime.

Have a great week,

Sue
