Poetry Recital

I am learning to read and recite a poem in front of the audience.

In Year 2, we have been learning many different poems. We had to choose a poem that we liked and had time to practise it in class and at home. 

We had to work on the following:

- Body Language and Eye contact - Standing still and looking at the audience. 

- Fluency - Speaking at a medium pace. 

- Clarity - Making sure we are speaking clearly. 

- Preparation - Knowing my poem when reading it. 

- Volume - Making sure I am talking so that everyone can hear me. 

Conservation and sustainability

We are learning about conservation and sustainability as part of our inquiry this term.

We went to Kelly Tarlton’s aquarium to have a deeper understanding of our inquiry and the focus was on the ocean and the sea creatures. We learned about the problems that cause sea creatures to die or become extinct. We also discussed what we could do to make the ocean a better place for the sea creatures to live.
