Speech Assembly 2020

This year with COVID-19 our school speech assembly wasn't able to take place as we would have liked, so rather than canceling it we postponed it until it was safe to hold this event altogether.

All children wrote speeches as part of our Term 3 learning and these were outstanding.  Quinn and Kaden were the children selected from Team Maunga Iti, and Amelia, Hannah, Tommy, and Sadie were selected from Team Maunga, to share their persuasive writing/speech making.

Here are their speeches, as they were great examples of what Year 1 and 2 students can strive to achieve.  (These will automatically play below so keep watching).

Stories about Leaves

Here are a few leaf stories that have been captured on iPads.  Well done boys for your fantastic writing today.  It's wonderful to see how clever you are at sounding out your words to share the ideas you have in your head.

Writing our versions of 'Baby Shark'

This week as part of writing our children turned one of their favorite songs into a new version.  Here are 2 that we shared with our assembly.   First the children listened to different versions of 'baby shark' and then had little chats about how they could change it.  We have cleaning up version to santa versions to dinosaur and kiwi version.  It was fantastic.  

Lets just say our writing on this day was not particularly quiet, but the children were very focused on their own versions, singing them away to themselves as they wrote.  

Afterwards the some children had time to record their versions in garage band using a backing track Mrs G had already made up for them.  Then this was used in iMovie to record their version.  One group even used the green room to record their version.

Well done to you all.   Writing songs is a great reason to write, and it is so fun too.
