BOOK WEEK

Monday, 25 August is our Book Week Dress Up Parade.  This year, each classroom has had to select a book and this will be the students’ theme for dressing up.  Room 22 has chosen The Avengers (a Marvel Comic) which ties in beautifully to our studies at Leeming Senior High School. We all love a superhero after all! Start thinking about costumes now! Perhaps you may even come as the very superhero you are creating? It should be interesting to see what you all come as. Room 22 – Avengers Assemble!

SPEAK UP

As a finalist in the Speak Up awards in our class, I was invited to speak along with Amos, Mikayla & Bianca in front of the year 5s, 6s, and 7s at the school trials for the Annual Speak up Award. It was a difficult thing to do and I was extremely nervous, but I managed to excel and get myself picked for the Interschool trials that were to be held in Week 2. There would be 12 speakers, all from different schools, and three would be chosen to advance to the next round. There were four from our school ready to face this gruelling task, including two from our Room- Aliyah, Amos, Nazdana, & I.

The trial was held on the 30^th of August at the South Perth Masonic Hall. We all spoke as fluently and eloquently as we could, emphasising our main points and using gestures to make our point. In fact, when the names of the people advancing to the next round were called, we found out that Aliyah was invited to the next round! Overall, being in the Speak Up final was a rewarding and breathtaking experience that I will never forget.
