Term Two
This term we will be integrating The Visual Arts and
Oral Language programme. To facilitate this we are privileged to have
Mr. Stuart Beachen, a Drama Specialist working with Room 16 for Four
Weeks. He has introduced the children to performance skills, such as
Voice projection, Articulation and Clarity of Speech, Body control and
Movement, Importance of facial expressions and the value of Eye
Communication. These wonderful practical skills will be utilised in:
A Court Room Drama, May 14th
Room 16 welcomes you to their school assembly where the children will be presenting a drama about “Rule
Breaking.” The setting is the Court room and witnesses will be called
to testify against people who have broken a school rule, a community
By-law and an Environmental Law of the land . Come and hear the
children practise their voice projection skills (no microphones ) and
see their body and facial expressions.
Poetry
A focus for Written Language will be Poetry.
We are learning to ‘Appreciate Poetry as we listen to, read and write
it.’ Some of our activities will include reading poems aloud, looking
closely at their form and message, and the writing and publishing of
poetry.
Listen to Abbey's poem. We are learning to read with expression. If you would like to hear more from Room 16, go to our Frimley Podbean page.
Speech Contest
Later on in the term the Senior School will be holding a
Speech contest. The finalists from each of the Senior rooms will
compete in the grand final to see who is the top speech maker. You will
be notified of the grand final and invited along
to hear our top speech makers in
action.
The photos of the Room 16 finalists and their topics will be posted after the event.
