Public Speaking and Homework

What a lovely rainy day we had today.  We still did sport but it consisted of a variety of activities in the hall.  Then we practiced 'friends to 14' and played Around the World.  ZS equalled AR record.  The great thing of course is the recall of number facts and attention to number combinations.

After recess and scripture it was time to knuckle down to some very quiet handwriting.  Many of the year 3s are still not forming their letters in the right way and I am spending most of that time with them. The year 4s are heading to pen licences with KM asking for the year 4 teachers to look at her work and decide if she's ready.

This afternoon we watched the first in the "Life in the Undergrowth" DVD's.  Mrs Hughes has the whole collection and a lot of great conversations were had, especially with the giant earth worm that is several metres long!! (Yes metres!!!)

I have just finished next week's homework and all the information for the Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking Competition.  I hope this helps and that the students do a good job.  I can't believe we are already half way through the term.
