This week we had our Room 16 Poetry recitals. Everyone in Room 16 had to learn and recite an entertaining poem to the class. Our poems were marked by our peers who were looking for good poem choice, expression, voice clarity and body language. In Week 11 our three finalists will compete against the rest of the children in the Tipa team in the Poetry Finals. Good luck everyone!!
