Google Meet #1 - Room 2 - 9am start!!!!!
It would be great to catch up with everyone and share our Karakia and Pepeha together and to hear what everyone did yesterday. I will also give you a quick run down of what is on the site and answer any questions you have.
How it works;
Find a suitable place to set up your device. (A quiet spot where you will be able to hear and focus on each other).
Just before 9am (between 8.55-9am) click the link below.

Speeches
Last Monday we started working on our 'at school' speeches, which you will now need to write at home. We brainstormed possible topics, and you all chose a topic and started your research or planning.
Over the next couple of days, you could continue with these. I know for some of you your planning is at school in your writing book, so if you want to start a new speech then that is okay.
Please feel free to email your speeches to me if you would like me to give you any feedback.
