Week 5 - SPEECH WEEK

-
What amazing speeches we heard this week and what a hard decision it was choosing x 2 finalists for the Inter-School Speech Competition on Wednesday 29th!  A big thank you for the students of Room 17 who were very professional in their marking of each student and the positive feedback they gave. Our two finalist are: MEGAN WIGGILL AND KATIE LEE.  We're looking forward to hearing from them both in week 6.

STAND UP,  HAND UP,  PAIR UP Room 17 learnt about a new way to help consolidate their learning.  Each child has a question related to something we've learnt during the week or last term.

STUDENT VOICE: - "This helps us remember what we've learnt during the week" - " If I come across the same question again & I didn't know the answer the first time, I do now" - " I learnt about when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed because I'd forgotten" - " My friend helped me to answer what number was one less than 635,000 - 634,999 - " There was only one part of the Statistical Inquiry ...
