Room 21
Welcome back to Term 3, which will be a busy term filled with delivering speeches, running cross country, watching performances from performers coming into school and getting ready for camp in Term 4. Hopefully the holidays held some adventure, fun and rest and relaxation for our Rm 21 families.
Literacy Learning
This term our Literacy Learning will be linked to speeches.
Early in the term we will be writing and delivering our speeches to our class. The children will write a speech either to Inform, Entertain or Persuade.
After Speech Writing we will look at writing persuasive pieces.
This will then flow into our Reading, where we will look at Non-Fiction text.
As the term goes on, we will read group novels and look at longer texts.
Inquiry - Visual Arts
This terms Inquiry is based around The Arts.
This will give the children of Room 21 the opportunity to explore an artist or art form.
Room 21 will be aiming to create something using Paper Mache. Through our study of Paper Mache and different artists they will generate what they will create.
