Morning Programme
Over the last two weeks we have started Morning Programme. This is to help us improve our listening and speaking skills through a variety of interesting tasks. Some of the topics so far have included My favourite, Show and Tell and teaching the class How to do something. We have had a range of different topics that have been shared. Flynn showed us how to put together a handpiece one week and brought along his favourite dog Tank the next. Tristan shared his favourite book, Esther made a rain gauge that turned into a marble run, Emily taught us a magic trick and so much more was shared. Bree even made a delicious pavlova for everyone to enjoy! We love doing Morning Programme!

Oral Language Programme (the old Morning Programme!)
We have started our Oral Language Programme for this term. Our teachers did not start this programme for us until week five as there was so much going on in the first four weeks of school.
Oral Language Programme is where we have a topic to speak about each week. There are some photos below of Maddie telling us all about herself while Bree told us about a proud moment for her, which was competing in and completing the Weetbix Tryathlon. We are getting much better at speaking in front of audiences as this is our second year doing our Oral Language Programme! It has had a name change because two days a week this programme is presented in the morning and the other two days of the week it is presented in the afternoon!
Maddie telling us all about herself.
Bree sharing about her proud moment which was doing the Weetbix Kiwikids Tryathlon.

Busy Middle Room!
We have had a busy few days in the Middle Room. We have been working really hard on our speeches that we will be presenting next Thursday. Morning Programme this term has helped us a lot with our preparation for our speeches. Having a good pace, loud clear voices and eye contact are a few things we have been focusing on. In the Middle Room we are really great at giving feedback to our classmates about what we have done well and also things we can improve on. Today we had two visitors from the Rotary club who came to present the Year 4 and 5's with dictionaries. They have already proven to be very useful and we are looking forward to improving our dictionary skills.
We have also been busy with the Keeping Ourselves Safe Programme. Constable Rochelle Gordon has visited us several times to help us learn some important lessons. We have talked about different situations we may find ourselves in and how to say no if we are feeling uncomfortable. To help us with this we learnt 3 special rules:
Squawk- Say No! Stop that, I don't like that! Use a strong voice
Walk- Walk away from the situation quickly and staunchly.
Talk- Find an adult you trust to tell them what has happened.
For art we have been focusing on drawing. We first looked at observational drawing and now we have started looking into cartoon drawings. We found that the easiest way to draw our cartoons was to use step by step instructions. That means that we are only adding a small section of our drawings at a time. They are starting to come together nicely.

Morning Programme
Check out some photos from Morning Programme...
We just love doing Morning Programme in the Middle Room. This happens four mornings a week and three or four people are on each day. They have to talk about a certain topic. This term we are doing mini speeches and we have a choice of topics to talk about. Morning Programme is a great oral language programme that allows us to practice all the things you need to do when talking in front of a group of people. We give each other feedback too and we are really good at doing this! Morning Programme is great practice for us too as for writing we are doing speeches this term!
Check out some photos from Morning Programme...

Morning Programme
Children in our class are starting to get more confident at speaking in front of an audience.
Morning programme is a real hit in our class. Everyone is pretty good at presenting their topic each week and we get a real variety of things being talked about for the topics people have. We also get topics presented in a variety of ways including book creator on the iPad, google slides, google docs, posters, paper presentations, iPad apps we use at home and iTrailer. Some people even bring examples of things to school like cupcakes, pets, fudge and we even had a house bus come one day!

Morning Programme
Today we had some very special guests come to the middle room for Georgia's morning programme. She brought her families puppies to visit us and explained how to feed them for her topic on 'how to'. Georgia prepared her talk very well and we learnt lots about feeding puppies. You can certainly tell her families puppies get well fed!
These puppies are pure bred lab crossed with a heading dog (pure collie). They are for sale, contact Sharee at school if you are interested!

Sport's Activator
Today Rory visited us to do hockey skills. We really enjoyed doing hockey and learnt some really important things like you must keep your stick down and you need to dribble and push the ball.
Thanks for coming Rory, we really enjoy your visits.
Here are some photos of us doing hockey with Rory:
