Sandwich Making by Felila

Cheese with Tuna & Apple..YUMMY

On Thursday 30th of August, all the classes went to the hall for sandwich making.

We were all surprised and happy. While we were walking to the hall, I heard lots of people talking about the sandwich making, like some of room 9 and room 11. I knew some of them couldn't wait to make the sandwiches.

When we got there everything was prepared. The tables was prepared and wrapped around with paper. The cheese on every table was looking good.
We all sat down getting ready to make and decorate our sandwiches.

But first we had a prayer to bless the food, then the teachers were going everywhere putting vegetables on the plates, we had fun and we enjoyed making the sandwich. We had cucumbers, cheese, grated carrot, ham, lettuce, buttered bread, and tuna with little apple pieces, also some buns.

That was a delicious meal. Thanks to the sponsors of Pak'n'Save, without them bringing the food, the teachers wouldn't have planned it. As soon as we had our prayer, the kids rushed for the cheese and most of all the ham. Yum-yum. We laughed a lot. 
I made a sandwich with a lot of ham and cheese. I had two sandwiches and one funny bun, which was shaped like an oval.

After that we cleaned the hall, stacked the chairs and cleaned the floor.Finally we went to class, Than went outside to play. The funny part was when a friend of mine, Evelyn was laughing so much that she nearly choked.
Thanks to all the teachers who prepared the hall and to Pak'n'Save  for supplying the food.

We are all looking forward to have another sandwich making.

Feeling a little nervous by Felila

We have been learning to write and present our speeches. We had to persuade the audience to think our way. The Olympics was our theme.

The criteria we had to use to write and present our speech included, an introduction, delivery, content and our conclusion. We also had to:

1) Pose a question.
2) Use powerful words
3) Also appropriate words.

Last week Room 12 down to Room 8 had to present their speech on Olympics. When we finished writing or typing our speech we had to read it and see if it is good. When I heard that we had to read our speeches to the class I felt astonished.
The reasons why we had to read our speech is because we needed to find four winners for our speech competition on Friday 17 of August. It has to be 2 year 6's & 2 year 7's. I was second to read my speech, and I was ready! I kind of felt nervous but did not worry. When I finished my voice was clear and I made good eye contact. I really needed more information and to make it a bit longer because my time was 1.55. Next time I could include more of my own ideas and research my topic more. 
After that, we all read our speeches for the third time and chose a winner. It was Chloe and Enosi
for the year six and Auariki and Tan-Charlie for the year sevens. 
On the Friday 17 of August (the final day) Chloe, Enosi, Auariki and Tan-Charlie had one last chance to practise. 
Finally we have lined up to go in the hall. I knew that some of them were nervous because their voice was shaky. The good news is that Chloe came second and Auariki came fourth. I knew Chloe would come second.
