Poetry Recital

This week each child in Room 24 presented their poem. I was so impressed by how brave everyone was. Each child needed to think about reading at a good pace, using expression, maybe some actions and to try and look at the audience sometimes. Some children decided not to select a familiar poem from our Poetry Folders but choose their own poem. Some poems were funny and made us laugh. We have two definite finalists Stephanie and Jayan. One child is deciding, so the third person is not definite at this stage. A little step to stand on, a music stand and a bell helped set the scene.

Chinese New Year

To celebrate the start of Chinese New Year some children in Room 24 wore Traditional costumes and looked gorgeous!

Mrs Dijkstra showed us a video on on You Tube  from Fortune Tales that explained a number of traditions that take place during Chinese New Year.

We also made a red envelope and an origami Dog. Daisy very kindly gave some children an envelope to take home. It was a fun day!
