Oral Language

In Room 1 we do a variety of Oral Language activities during the week including sharing news, Mystery Bag (open ended questions), Maori Language, buzz groups, donut speeches, and listening activities. We focus on making sure we are speaking clearly and being good listeners. We discussed exactly what a good listener and a good speaker does.
