News Telling

This term, we have been improving our listening and speaking skills by telling news in our Kagan teams each Friday. Each week there is an exciting new topic for us to think about at home and then share with our friends.

Here are the topics (for those of you who may not have had a chance to see our window). Please encourage your child to have planned and practiced their news prior to Friday, to ensure they feel confident presenting to their peers.

WEEK	TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION
1	Literacy- Holiday recount. What was the most enjoyable thing that you did in the holidays? You  might like to bring a photo, a ticket, a map etc.
2	Literacy- Procedure. Bring in something you have made it at home. What did you need to make it? What steps did you take? Are you happy with the result?
