Thursday 18 August was the amazing 2016 senior speech finals that went from 9am to 11am. Six awesome amazing thrilling speeches went to the finals from Room 6 and 7, then four speeches went through from Room 5, Henry Lee was sick. The 2016 senior speech finals took place at the library. The year 5/6 students were Max Lowe, Campbell Norton, Henry Claridge, Elizabeth Vierboom, Ashlyn McDowell and Francesca Hickey. The year 7/8 students were James Claridge, Maude Hughes and Ella Deane plus Henry Lee. There were three judges (well hopefully they judged fair) they were Mr Keenan, Mr Gillard and Mrs Norrish. There were only 2 places 1st, 2nd and highly recommended. In the year 5/6 Henry, Ashlyn Francesca and Max got highly commended, 2nd place was Elizabeth and 1st place was Campbell. Highly commended was Ella, 2nd place was James and 1st place was Maude. All the ten awesome amazing thrilling speeches got great feedback.

Narrative

This term we are looking at how to write narratives. Please enjoy Anya's narrative about what teachers get up to after school.

My Teacher is a dog!
Hello. My name is Anya Worthington. I am ten years old. I know classified information:


My Teacher is a dog.
I found out a few weeks ago. I walked into the toilets. Then I saw her. My teacher, Miss Richards, was covered in hair. Then she started shrinking, and before I knew it, she was fully dog. I slowly backed out of the room, then I ran home. I don’t think she saw me, because she has been treating me normally lately.
2 weeks later
Oh my gosh! Teacher dog (That is what I call her) has adopted another Teacher dog! Her name is Miss Wilson! They are pretending that she is a teacher in training from Kentucky! I need to find out what they are doing!
1 week later
It turns out, they are part of a  teacher dog spy agency and are trying to find more people to join them! I need to get out of here! I do NOT want to become a dog!
A few days later
They want me to join them!


I am terrified! They want me to become part of a human dog agency! No! But how can I refuse?
1 hour later
Mr Keenan, our principal, approached me today. He took me into a secret underground room. He said that he knew about the teacher dog agency. They were evil. He wanted me to join his good agency, and help to defeat the teacher dog agency. I would also become a shape-shifter, because all members of the agency have a unique superpower. I WILL DEFEAT THE TEACHER DOGS!Image result for teacher dog
1 month later
The teacher dogs have been defeated!It was a long battle that took days to complete, but we did it, and I have powers! The teacher dogs have been defeated! No-one will be harmed by them again!

Thank you for reading. From Anya .

Art portrait

Today we made portraits. To do this we took our photo, next we cut it in half so our nose was in half and we glued it into an A4 white paper. We then started sketching the missing half of the face. This was the first step.
