You have 2 options for this week:

Option 1. Design and build a creation of your choice using products from your recycling bin.

Option 2. Using the SAUCE model and the topic of your choice present an interesting preseentation sharing your questions and inforamtion you have learned.

__**Week 8.**__ ==Some children in Room 1 have taken on Week 7's challenge with great enthusiasm. This week I would like the children to design a mask that can be placed on the wall. It must be made using good publishing presentation. This includes clear strong lines, shading or colours, and patterns that symbolise something important to you. Once you have completed your mask you then need to frame it with some type of border. This mask can again be computer generated but must not include using images.== __**Week 7**__ Hopefully everyone has completed their speeches. Our focus for the next 4 weeks will be creating a mask for the mask parade. For a comprehension task, for this week, it would be helpful if children can look into the history of masks, and discover when they were first worn, or why they were worn. Just to add a bit of spice to the homework - if children could design a book cover with a mask as the cover page and if this could be presented on their wiki. I will talk the children through this during ICT. Programmes that they could use include Tux Paint, and word processing. I'm not sure of their programmes - but am looking into this. Have a great week, and happy designing.
 * Spelling lists need to be completed.**

__**Week 5 and 6:**__ Yes - Speeches. Your task for the next 2 weeks is to prepare your speech for the Nelson Central Speech competition. The 2 lucky senior winners will then represent Nelson Central at Hampden Street on September 17th - so Room 1 the challenge is out there. The Criteria: All students must complete a speech of a minimum of 3 minutes to a max of 5min. Planning sheets, and timelines have been sent home. Pictures, photo's and use of a data projector is encouraged, but must be incorporated within your speech. You choose one from the 3 topics listed below, 1. Get involved 2. I'd like to tell you about ..... 3. Something or someone I admire. Somehow incorporate 'Citizenship is everyone's business' as this is the school wide theme for 2009.

Have fun with this - yes it can appear, or your research can appear on your wiki. I will be looking at the draft copies during week 6 24th-28th August. Sue.
