Lorax Play

You will need to watch this space over the next few weeks. Room six are on a mission! They have read the story of "The Lorax", by Dr Suess and are recreating it in a play with room one. Every child in both classes has a part to play and they have been practicing their lines. All the talking parts require the children to practice what they have been learning throughout this term...

-voice projection

-emphasis at certain times

-confidence

-fluency and remembering your lines

-expression in voice

-engagement with the audience and others in the play

Not only does everyone have a talking part, many children in room six have a specific role in making this play possible. The children have been learning about all of the different roles it takes to producer and present a play, from director through to stage hands and costume designers. We even have a videographer who is filming the process to get to the end result- performance day!

Watch is space for developments as the term goes by.

Focused, motivated learners...

"Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success."

-Swami Sivananda

Today we spent sometime talking about what it means to be a motivated, successful learner. We all want to be successful in whatever it is we choose to aim for and we know it begins within ourselves! We need to make sure we allow ourselves and others the opportunity to learn and gain success. At times, what this looks like for some of us is different to others, and that is OK (because everybody learns in different ways)! For a small part of our day this is what learning and success looked like to us, as we each worked on one of our reading tasks...

Jump Rope For Heart

What a terrific day it was on Friday!! We all showed off our skipping talent to our parents and community. We were raising money for the Heart foundation and are pleased with the contribution we made. It was also Daffodil Day in which we were raising money for the Cancer Society and it was great to see all of the spring colours coming out in our mufti outfits!
