Oral Language

Oral Language

The ability to orally express ideas, thoughts, feelings has been shown to be vitally important in education. For this reason in room 14 we have an oral language focus each term.  Last term the focus was on presenting and listening skills. The students chose from a list of possible topics and presented each week.
This term the students are each being given  a country to find out some information on and then present that information to the rest of the class. To date we have had fantastic presentations on Vietnam, India, Thailand, Egypt and China. As well as learning skills around speaking to others, the students are learning valuable skills around finding information about the world they live in.  A big thank you to the parents who are supporting their children learning in this important way. Below are a couple of photos from the presentations.

Discovery Time

Each week we collaborate with the other classes in the Awa syndicate for a discovery time. This time is where the students get to explore learning they are interested in with a focus around one of the key competencies.  This term the focus is on managing ourselves. our focus this week was on perseverance, sticking with a task even when it is hard. Below are a few photos from this weeks discovery time
