I enjoyed the speech immensely, and hope others have the chance to hear him talk.
Word Work: This week for word work I have done the usual which is the meaning, a sentence and the origin of the word. This week I have also done eight words for my speech on the slide show for my word work as well. Here is my work:
My Speech: This week I have been working on my speech. I am not going to put my work on but I am going to tell you about it. My Speech is going to be about my trip to Australia. I have almost finished my speech but not quite yet.
Reading: This week for Reading we read a book called Mrs Wilding's Potatoes. My group took turns at reading part of the book and then we wrote some main points about the book on a slide that our teacher made. The book is about how to boys wanted to go to school to see a rugby star but they got held up because Mrs Wilding needed help with compost.
This week we have been doing Olympic based things like Olympic athletes profiles this top one Misha Koudinov, I've learnt facts about him and before this I never knew Misha Koudinov existed before now. In the process of making this google drawing like all the others I needed a background colour, I needed word art and I needed to research to find information about the athletes.
Second Athlete
This is the second athlete profile that I've done. Her name is Eliza McCarteny. She does pole vault which is awesome, imagine doing pole vault yourself
Third Athlete
For the last athlete profile I've done Elizabeth Cui.
She's a diver which is awesome.
I can't wait to learn more about Elizabeth.
Speech
This week also I have done my speech, it's about my dog, and my dogs name is Skyla. I didn't really know what other topic I could have done so I did Skyla.
