Oral Language
A poem has been selected for each child in our class to memorise. They will have their own copy to keep at home and practise.
A group of children will be assigned to each day of the week on which they will recite their own poem to the class. This continues for the rest of the year. Challenges for improvement will be offered so that over time the recitation will gain strength.
During Term Four there will be the opportunity to recite other class member?s poems.
This activity covers, in part, the oral language section of the curriculum. It also assists in developing memory, listening skills, correct pronunciation, self-confidence, sense of rhythm and a deepening appreciation of the richness of our language.
We will begin these on the first day of week 4. Often the first couple of weeks are a little daunting and hesitant. However, I have infinite faith that their efforts over time will create performances to be proud of!
