Hi All

Just a reminder it is a Library visit this Friday so children will need their library cards.

Sharing some photos from Friday's Morning Programme.

We were treated to an origami lesson and some exciting holiday tales.

It was fantastic thanks Aurelia and Finn!! 

Your children would have bought home some origami paper and instructions to complete their origami - lots of us got stuck at the end and decided some extra help from home would be useful😀

With Ukelale on a Friday now we are running a little behind in our presentations.
We still have Tamai and Jedi from the Year 4 group to present.
Below I am posting the new timetable for Morning Programme.
Just a reminder that the children are able to choose from the choice of topics as to what they would like to present.
Next Morning Programme is Friday 23 March and we have presenting Tane, Jack McLean and Claire

Room 3 Morning Programme 2018

Morning programme will be part of our Oral Language programme each Friday.  The children will present twice a year and can choose from the below topics.  There is a table below showing when your child is presenting.  As part of our Diary use this year I will also get the children to record in their diary if they are on Morning Programme that week.

The purpose is to practise speaking and listening skills and to question others to gain more information, or to clarify information.

Morning programme topics will need to be prepared at home prior to the presentation date.  They can be prepared on a piece of A4 paper, so that once they have been presented they can be glued in a class book as a record.  As this is oral language and not simply a reading task, it is a good idea to practise speaking clearly with a suitable volume and making the presentation interesting (this may include showing items, photos/pictures, or demonstrating).

Topic	Description
About Me	Prepare a short talk about yourself.  This may include your full name, where and when you were born, places you have lived, information about you and your family, pets, likes, dislikes, hobbies . . .
Book Review	Choose a favourite book. Tell the class the title, author, illustrator, suitable age level, what the story is about and why you enjoyed it.  Show a favourite picture or read a favourite paragraph.
How to . . .	Choose something you know how to do and describe it to the class in a logical order or numbered steps e.g. a favourite recipe, an experiment, instructions to make or do something . . .
Our Place	Select a place in New Zealand.  Be able to pinpoint it on a map of NZ.  Find at least 5 facts about it. This might include where it is, (which island) population, attractions etc . . .
Current Events	Present news in your own words from the newspaper, television, internet or radio.  You need to be able to understand what the news is about so that you can keep the audience interested.
Famous Person	Choose someone who is famous either in NZ or in another country.  Find out what they are famous for and some interesting facts about them.
