Term 3, week 1 and 2 in Room 2...

WOW!! We have a full on term ahead of us this term!!  Some of the exciting events are:  Speeches, Cross country, School Disco, and in Week 6 - the Winter Olympics.

My Time:
Room 2 will have My Time research projects again this term on Wednesday afternoons.  The students will carryover their same topics as last term for this term, weeks 1-5.  Then they have weeks 7-9 to prepare their My Time presentations, with presentations taking place week 9.  (Those students who wish to change topics have 2 weeks to prepare and present their My Time learning presentations, and then they may change topics after that.)

Inquiry:
This terms Inquiry is The Olympic Games, focussing on the controversial issues of The Games.

Speeches:
Week 1's home learning the students are to finalise their speech topic - this is to be discussed and approved by Ms Trow on Friday morning.

Being that we are extra busy this term with practising for upcoming events, the weekly timetable for speech preparations will be:

Week 1:  Choose topic

Week 2:  Time in class to write your speech

Week 3:  Practice your speech - to be 3-4 minutes, on cue cards.  (We will have 1 minute "on the spot" speeches in class to practice speech-making this week).

Week 4:  In class speeches - the best 2 year 7's and 3 year 8's to be chosen by Friday to go through to the school finals in Week 5.

Week 5:  School speech finals.

Week 3 assembly:
This term we are doing a class item at week 3's assembly - we will be doing a dance item, and are busy deciding on a song this week and practising our moves from next week :)

Have a great week everyone :)
