3 August - 9 August

Kia ora. I hope we are all settling into Term 3 and adjusting to the timetable with Wednesday Projects and Focus Friday. We need to ensure we use our timetables slot on Tuesday wisely so you can manage your time carefully to complete your tasks.  This is an important skill to have as you enter the next stage of your education.  This week, we are going to start the process of recording our oral presentations.  If you would like to be considered for the upcoming school speech competition you need to ensure your speech is recorded and uploaded by Tuesday so I am able to view it.  Please let me know if this is you so I can arrange access to the cameras.  We will be continuing the process on Friday.  I will create a schedule for when you and your chosen audience (of 3) will be recording your speeches (30 minute slot should allow  all 4 people to record).  I know there is a temptation to have many 'takes' bu unfortunately we do have a time frame to keep to, and if you were doing your presentations live, starting again is not an option so my advice is a maximum of three attempts and you upload your best!
