Term 1, Week 9

Room 4 Newsletter:  Term 1, Week 9

Scripture Reading Challenge 2017

  • Your scripture reading can be anything you like, eg. a parable, a psalm, a reading from the Gospels.

  • Introduction. This is a time to use the main ideas or theme of the scripture reading to make up a small speech explaining what the reading means to you, in your own words. For example ‘What the story of the Last Supper means to me is ...... ‘

  • The Reading:  The actual scripture, parable, psalm etc.

  • Format for scripture reading on the day: Students will start with their introduction, then  say “This is a reading from eg. Matthew Chapter3, Verses 1 -14 ...” then start the reading. At the end, if it is a gospel reading only say, “The Gospel of the Lord” otherwise they say “The Word of the Lord”.

  • Timetable: On Monday 10th or Tuesday 11th April, class Eisteddfods will be heard. Eisteddfod assembly will be on Thursday 13th April in the church. Names will be in the school newsletter.

  • For students to remember:
-       When reading from the Bible you do not have to look up at your audience all the time
-       Use good expression when you read.
-       Do not read too fast.
-       Pause correctly.
-       You do not have to learn your reading off by heart but you should learn your introduction.
-       Make sure your words and voice are very clear, so that your audience understands.

Room 4 have been reading parables and looking up scripture in class, and they will be supported in the preparation of their eisteddfods in class over the next few weeks. However, extra support can be offered at home to practise and build the children’s confidence with their choice of scripture and putting their introduction onto cards.

*Year 4-5 students should speak for approximately 2 minutes in total.



Have a great week.  Markelle Ward J
