Kindergarten Oral Presentations Term 3

Dear Parents / Carers, Kindergarten students are being encouraged to plan their Term 3 oral presentations so that they can present their news confidently to the class. Delivering news is excellent practise for the Public Speaking Competition which all students will participate in during week 8. The oral presentations (news) are important because they encourage speaking and listening behaviours, develop effective questioning techniques and provide opportunities for peer, self and teacher evaluations. Please assist your child by helping them plan news items from the list below each week. Ask your child to think about ways of speaking and listening effectively. For example, speaking clearly, presenting confidently and using eye contact and appropriate gestures. When your child unpacks their bag at school, their news will go in the news box. Please do not send precious or expensive items to school – we are very careful with news items but cannot be responsible for breakages or loss. Students present the following tasks on their news day each week. News presentations should be 1 to 2 minutes long. It will be beneficial to practise at home with an adult. Week Beginning Topic 1 July 20 Holiday Recount – very short - Describe 1 activity or event you enjoyed in

the holidays.

2 July 27 Healthy meal Plan a healthy meal and include some of your favourite foods. It might be breakfast, lunch or dinner. You could decorate a paper plate with pictures of the food included in your meal. You will need to describe your meal, talk about why it is good for you and tell the class why you like it.

Please use these prompts to help your child order their news.
