Lip Sync - Key Competencies

Today Mr Baylis introduced us to the Key Competencies. We talked about what we think they mean and why we think they are important.

We then decided to see how we are using the key competencies when creating our lip syncs for tomorrow's competition. Here is our mind map.

Weekly Rag - Our thoughts from the classroom

Firstly we need to say sorry for missing out next week - we've been flat out in Room1!! Roughly 12 people from Our class went on Wednesday 9th to the Spragg banner We did really well but not quite good enough to win the banner. We did win the points trophy and 2 others. Our classroom is doing this really cool Lip Sync competition and if they win, their group gets 100 moola each so vote for your favourite. This week we are doing descriptive writing about a girl that has lost her nose. This week we have been learning about common and proper nouns. For theme we have been doing adaptation. On Tuesday we went out for a fun and challenging game of Narley. Today at morning tea there was a great game of cricket . Today at lunch the singers are going to practise. Jacqui & Mason's group are going to practise their lip Sync as well.

From Mason and Jacqui.

Here in Room 1 we pride ourselves on being a team and developing ourselves as learners. As a part of this we do a bit of team/building activities based around the key competencies.

Our challenge this week is to have a lip sync competition. We have put ourselves into groups, chosen our songs and are already practising like mad!! The criteria is:

- You need to mouth the lyrics of the song in the right place.
- Every group member performs together.
- You need entertaining dance moves that are suitable for the music.
- Keep in time with your group.


Mr Baylis will record our performances and put them on here. He will then try to create a poll and we would like you to assess and vote on the best performance.

Today Mason brought some piglets in to show the class. Here he is to tell you about it.

I took some piglets to school one pink and one spotty one and they were very loud. They were KuneKune pigs and they were very little and I did not bring all of them . When they're scared their tails uncurl and when they have a feed there tails curl up . From Mason.

Here are some photos.

I would personally like to say a big congratulations and well done to all of the Room 1 Swimming competitors.
You all tried your best, with great results and continued to show that true Room 1 spirit!!!

Mr Baylis

Here is a fun maths game for you to try. Hope you enjoy
