Room 14's Assembly - The Tuckshop Kid Musical

Congratulations to all the students in Room 14 on your excellent assembly on Friday! It was highly entertaining and the audience thoroughly enjoyed it!

Joseph, Nick and Emelia also did a wonderful job of remembering their lines and speaking with expression in their acting roles.

Well done to everyone in Room 14 for remembering the song lyrics, singing enthusiastically and putting on a great show!

The Tuckshop Kid - Script Performance

Room 14 students performed an action-packed and entertaining scene from The Tuckshop Kid for the Year 4, 5, 6 and 7 students on Friday.

Students identified the dialogue (speech of the characters) in a section of the novel, wrote a script in pairs using this dialogue, rehearsed and performed their scene. They considered the different roles, and how the characters would speak, move and interact with other characters.

.

Performing in front of the Year 7s was a bit scary, but students did an excellent job and received some valuable acting experience.

.

Awesome effort Room 14!

Week 5 Awards - MVP & Soccer Stars

Jean has been quietly studious and producing thoughtful, quality work - she is the MVP for Week 5! Fantastic work Jean!

The amazing Yellow Group stole the show again with their organisation and won the Soccer Stars competition - an excellent effort from Joseph, Tiah, Emelia, Nicholas, Liam, Lazar, Steven, James and Jessica S!
