Sound overload

Speeches
This week has seen the students all use their own personal sound instruments, their voices, to present their speeches to the class. We heard speeches on whistling, zoo's, conspiracy theories, football, moreporks and Bali to name just a few. The standard this year was very high and it has been very difficult to choose the class finalists who will compete in the syndicate semi-finals. However the students who will represent Room 13 this year are:

Year 6
Evie Richardson - Phobia's
Sam Woolley - Whistling

Year 5
Zoe Inskeep - Zoo's
Amy Schoenborn - Rabbits

Strike
We were also lucky enough to have Strike come and perform at school. As always they put on an amazingly immersive percussion performance that had the whole school feeling the beat. They used a variety of traditional (drums etc.) and non traditional instruments (fire, fizzy cans) to put together their cacophony of beats. Some students were even lucky enough to be included in the show.
