This week we are continuing to work on our speeches ready for presentations in Week 9.
There are three different purposes of a speech;
To inform - this could be about something you have learnt about, something you are passionate about or something you are interested in. An informative speech is designed to improve the knowledge of the audience in your chosen topic
To persuade - you might like to persuade those in the audience to agree with your point of view in a chosen topic. This could be anything you feel strongly about on a local, national or global issue that impacts us
To entertain - your speech could be targeted at entertaining your audience, either through humour or with an interesting topic
Length of Speech -
Year 3 and Year 4 - two minutes
Year 5 and Year 6 - three minutes
Last week, you should have completed the draft of your speech. This week, we are working on refining you speech and ensuring it has a wide range of interesting descriptive language and that your speech is easy to understand and listen to. You also need to begin practicing your speech to check that you fit in the time limits. By the end of the week, you should be practicing your speech in front of a mirror or someone from your family.
The marking criteria falls under four categories:
Appearance - includes general grooming and stance (do you look neat and tidy and are you able to stand up straight)
Presentation - general delivery of the speech (good eye contact, use of appropriate gestures, facial expression)
Voice - includes voice control, intonation, fluency, clear annunciation
Content - interest level, audience appeal, age related information and creativity

This week's KLA Activity of the Day theme is Engineering! You are all going to become engineers this week by creating some Lego creations!
You will need any Lego pieces you have in your house, or some blocks if you don't have any Lego. You could also choose to engineer your daily challenges in any materials you have around the house - cardboard boxes, paper, plastic containers - whatever you can find!
Today's challenge is to build a bridge. You might like to research different types of bridge structures for some ideas. Once done, see how much weight your bridge can hold!
Upload any pictures you have of your creation to the Google Doc.
