Production Update
We are progressing well with our costumes, we are lucky to have Miss Underwood as our classroom assistant, she has been stencilling our orange stripes in her own time and has been a real life saver. Any parent wishing to check days/times for the production we have our very own production blog under class blogs. We are asking children to be at room 16 by 5.30 on production nights as we have faces to paint and costumes to change into. Tickets are available through the school shop, it promises to be an incredible couple of nights!
For the production Room 16 will be dressing as tigers!
We will be painting our t shirts and pants with orange stripes. If you are able to provide an old black t-shirt and either track pants or leggings (again black) it would be much appreciated. Any parents or grandparents who would like to help we will be looking at painting and creating our costumes in week 7 and help with painting would be wonderful. The only other costume we will be needing will be headbands to create our ears, I would be very grateful if anyone has any old headbands we could use.
Term 2 … Oral Language

Speaking clearly and confidently is an important life skill and through our oral presentations supports the process of speaking, listening while making and creating meaning. ‘

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.’ Winston Churchill.
