6C have been working on improving their fluency by reading plays. Reading plays gives students the opportunity to improve listening skills, adjust and apply different reading rates to match a text and to show feeling in voices to read like the characters. The group below are praactising the play “The Gingerbread Man” and are beginning to add stick puppets and change their voices to match their allocated characters.

6C have also started daily PE.  Students have been paired and allocated a day on which they choose and run an activity for 15 minutes.  Activites that have been played so far are fruit salad, golden child, koabangan (find the hidden object) and soccer. Everyone, leader and participants, are having a great time.

Paper planes were flying around in 6C last week. Students were required to make three planes – to make the first plane, students had a set of instructions to follow, the second plane used the same instructions but students could alter the plane in a small way such as add a weight, alter the wings or dip the nose, while the last plane was a free choice plane. Out of all the designs only one plane made the allocated distance and as you can see from the photo below most planes went everywhere except forward.
