Speech Eisteddfods:
Progress
with speech eisteddfods is varied. I have scheduled up to 40 minutes per day
for speech preparation, practise, writing notes on cards, researching a topic,
and conferencing. Most children are making excellent use of this time, and this
is reflected in the content of their speech and their organisation.
Please
ask your child where they are at with their speech, and ask them to show you
what they have done so far, and to read it out loud to you. I have asked them
to make their speech a home/school team effort, so that their eisteddfod will
be the best that it can be.
WOW Night:
It’s not long now till our WOW
night, where each class will be show-casing their learning. In Room 4 you can
share your child’s bookwork, see projects displayed around the room, discuss
and view their Inquiry investigations, share their artwork, play some maths
games, and much more! We look forward to having you join us.
Have a great week.
