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 Reflections

My Reflections for Week 5
By Tiah

The most important thing I learned this week is making our bookapillar and having book week.

The most interesting thing I learned this week is doing our performance for the year seven's.

I still want to find out more about books and children's favourite books.

My Reflections for Week 5
By Jessica S

The most important thing I learned was the Tuckshop Kid performance because it taught us to have expression in our reading and make it seem real.

The most interesting thing I learned was building our land yachts, we got to hot glue gun things and try different types of wheels. It was heaps of fun.

I still want to find out more about James Stirling and different explorers and the end of the Tuckshop Kid story.

My Reflections for Week 4

This week we got to do a painting about an animal called the Wagyl. The Wagyl is a colourful snake in the Dreamtime story. The pictures that we are painting are quite good.

This week on Tuesday we got to watch a movie called Around the Twist, the movie was Next Time Around. The movie Around the Twist was very funny.
