  • Whiria te tāngata 

    Weave the people together. 

    Kia ora. I hope you have all had a restful and safe term break.  I am sure when we last saw each other it was summer - now it definitely feels like winter is drawing close! This term we are going to be focussing on oral language techniques in English.  We will look at speeches and seminars, TED talks and oral presentations, plays and poetry slams.  We will be using tableaux and freezeframes to explore meaning in texts.
