Public Speaking We had 8 public speakers who vied for a

position in the upcoming Rostrum Public

Speaking competition.

Kiana spoke about how the world is drowning

in Coca Cola, Temperance told us why

Mondays should be banned, Chris, Taylah,

Mitchell and Josh all wanted to have

superpowers and Alannah decided that if she

could be anyone in the world that she would

like to be herself.

Our school representative next Tuesday

evening is Abbie who argued ‘Why and Why

not Mondays should be banned’.

Congratulations to Abbie and good luck next

week.

If anyone would like to see Abbie give her

speech next week the Rostrum Public

Speaking Competition will take place in our

School Hall at 7:00pm next Tuesday 25th

August 2015.

The Talent show is fast approaching so get

your acts prepared and ready for a fun filled

day with all different kinds of talent to be

displayed. We are so excited and can’t wait for

the action!

This term 3B have been looking at

Aboriginal Dreaming stories and symbols

used in Aboriginal paintings. For our

assembly item we retold the local Dreaming

Story of how the Wombeyan Caves and

Wollondilly River were created by

Gurangatch and Mirrigan. The students

wrote a script and came up with actions for

our actors. The rest of the class interpreted

the story using tapping sticks.
