Art/Writing Exhibition, Open day and Jubilee Assembly.

Wow!  What an amazing display of our student's art work and writing there is to view in the hall!
I am so proud of all of the work our class has created over the past few weeks.  It's great to see all of the other class's work too.  Such a variety of art and writing all presented in so many different ways.

I was also really impressed with the cultural groups who shared items with us today at the Jubilee Assembly.  We had students from our class in the Kapa Haka group, Pacifika group and in the Chinese fan dance.  All of them had worked hard to make sure they produced a great performance for our huge audience today!

Thanks also to the parents and family members who visited our classroom during today's open day.  I hope you enjoyed sharing some of the things we do every day.

Speeches.

This term our class prepared speeches at home and shared them with our class.  I was really impressed with the preparation and effort put in to most of these.  It was wonderful to watch everyone confidently get up in front of our class and speak so well.  It was also great to observe the audience being so thoughtful and supportive.  At the end each speech everyone was welcome to contribute their compliments and suggestions.  I was proud of the way you all showed your CARE values and encouraged each other.

Our class voted for the best speeches to go forward as finalists to share our Top 2 speeches with Room 23.  They did the same.  Congratulations to Ethan and William for their well prepared speeches, delivered clearly and confidently.  They both included great information and humour to keep us entertained and informed.  Well done boys!

Preparing for our Torbay School Art and Writing Exhibition in Week 8.

Our class has had a very busy time creating magnificent artworks and writing to share with the school, families and our community during our School's Writing/Art exhibition in Week 8.  This coincides with our school's 60th Jubilee celebrations.   We hope everyone can come along with their families to share and celebrate!

Here are some photos of us preparing work for the exhibition...
