Today the children of Te Mahuri started to present their Speeches to their classmates. It was fascinating to listen to these children speaking confidently to their classmates. It takes a lot of confidence to stand in front of a group of people and talk to them about a subject you have chosen and poured your heart and soul into creating.
What was equally as impressive was the respect shown to the speakers by their audience. These children truly have mastered the art of supporting their peers to give of their best, of respecting others right to be heard and offering encouragement when it was needed. Tino Pai to mahi Te Mahuri.
You can see what the Te Mahuri children have been learning about in writing by going to this page.
In Cybersmart the class have been working on using Book Creator. They copied and pasted their text from their Workbook into the book creator project. Then they had to record their voices reading their speeches and they videoed themselves saying their speeches.
They have linked their speeches onto their blogs...Check them out!!!
Please leave positive and helpful feedback for the children to read and enjoy. They have worked really hard.
