Morning Programme 15th April 2016

Well here they go, today's very well prepared Morning Programme speakers

Last day for Term 1 and what a fabulous job today's crew did as they presented their various topics.

So, first 'at the lecturn' today was:

Sophie.  Sophie told us all about herself and her family.  Who knew she has lived in 3 towns?  Dunedin, Clyde and Alexandra.

Second today was:

Hayvin.  Hayvin's current event topic sparked some interesting discussion.  He talked to us about Sea Shepherd which is an organisation who since 1977 has worked to prevent ocean creatures from becoming extinct. Hayvin told us how some of the Sea Shepard fleet and it's crew will be risking their lives by spending the next 6 months in Antartica trying to stop illegal whaling.  We hope they are successful!

Following on was:

Amelia.  Amelia gave us a "book review" of "Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell. She read a page about this beautiful horse with one white hoof and a star on head, which was just enough to hook us in.

Next up was:

Mason.  Mason spoke about a very "famous New Zealander," Sir Edmund Hillary.  Sir Edmund Hillary and  Tenzing Norgay were the first climbers to reach the top of Mt Everest which is the highest mountain in the world.  He loved exploring and taking on difficult challenges.  He even drove a tractor to the South Pole.  Did you know Sir Edmund Hillary was the only living person (at the time) to feature on a bank note?

Finally today was:

Charlotte.  Charlotte told us "how to" feed baby lambs that have been orphaned.  She was very detailed and thorough and gave us a demonstration of the angle we need to hold the bottle, so the lamb can drink.  We all felt we would be able to help out and feed lambs following her instructions.

Well done room 3 on an awesome Term 1 of Morning Programme Presentations.   A big thank you to the parents also for the part you have played in helping your child to be prepared and ready.
