NEWS
WOW! Our new 'news' system is working SO well. Yesterday, Manon and Max both shared fantastic news with us. We were really impressed with the confidence they showed in speaking and we talked about what made their 'news' so good.
- They spoke loudly and clearly.
- They were organised - knew their topic!
- They looked at us while they were speaking...made eye contact.
- They use good sentences and some 'sophisticated' language....that means BIG, interesting words. :)
- They didnt um and ahh.
- They had thought about something interesting to share with us...we were 'hooked in.'
Keep it up everyone, I love hearing about things you do when are not at school and it's great to see some amazing ora language skills!
Here's Manon (the next Sarah Walker) and Max sharing their news. Max shared some photos of his trip to Rotorua...we thought it looked like him and his cousin were in a spooky horror movie.
