Congratulations

A big well done to Joe, Grace and Danielle for their superb speech deliveries today. Danielle was our star, taking our first place for 2012. A very entertaining speech that she is not going to put into action in the classroom! Topic: Procrastination, a word that we can all spell now, thanks to Danielle :-)

Mrs Radcliffe, who helped judge the speeches, with the three proud placegetters.

Big Day!

I was so proud of our Room 19ers today. We started the day with our 10 speech finalists each sharing 30 secs of their speech to impress the judges (the rest of the class). We would of have been happy for any of them to represent our class; well done and good luck to Joe, Danielle and Grace. Overall the standard of speeches this year was impressive, lots of great content and confident presentations. Well done everyone.

Next up was House Picnic. The House Captains and their helpers did a superb job of organising games and motivating and directing the younger children.

We finished with the finals of the talent quest - a big afternoon of performance. Well done Sabine, Briana, Grace, Teille and Ruby. You were all gorgeous and your talent shone.

One very proud teacher signing off!

Visitors from Chile

Today we got the chance to chat with students from Chile in our Spanish class. They shared a couple of dances from their country and Grace demonstrated the long poi on our behalf. After that we went outside to ask questions and compare life in our countries. They eat dinner at 10pm!
