Solo talks

This month we have been busy preparing for our class solo talks. We discussed oral presentation features including a loud and clear voice, eye contact, a clear introduction and relevant information. We also discussed the features of a good audience including good listening skills and being able to ask questions.

Some solo talk topics covered pets and animals, favourite footballers/teams, special family members, countries, history and more.

All the solo talks were well presented using flash cards, posters, Google slides, photographs and pictures and were enjoyed by all.

Rainforest Layers

We have been learning to identify the layers of the rainforest. Just like a cake, the rainforest has different layers. These layers include: forest floor, understory, canopy, and emergent. We worked in groups to choose a layer of the rainforest to focus on. We used the internet and books to research information about the layer, what it looks like and what plants and animals can be found there. We recorded our research on a poster and presented this to the rest of the class. 🌳🐾🐍
