Tongue Twister

Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw.

Jelly On A Plate

Today we were working on our performance skills in preparation for our poetry recitals.

We worked in groups to perform a section of Jelly on a Plate. During our performance we included changing the volume, pitch and pace of the poem. We also included silence and solo performances. We added actions to enhance our performance and make it more enjoyable for the audience.

We hope you enjoyed our presentation. Could you spot the different elements that we included?

Technology Challenge

As there were no modules on Friday, Room's 7 and 8 decided to get together for a technology challenge. We had to work in teams of three to create a six piece outfit. We had to include a top, a bottom and a hat and then we could choose 3 more elements in include with our outfits. We had to be creative, original and outfits needed to be modelled by one of our team. We all had heaps of fun. Watch this slideshow to see our creations.

It was a tough decision to choose a winner but here are the top three outfits.
