Never Shake a baby

Today in Roots of Empathy we learned to Never Shake a Baby. Tanya showed us why by shaking an egg in a jar. We learned that a baby's brain is like the egg yolk. If you shake it, it gets damaged. By Emma

Today we are focusing on Reading, Summarising and Presenting the story. This is the exact same thing that News Producers do.





Reflections

Mele - I think that my reading has improved because i spoke louder and clearer. I would like work on looking straight at the camera.

Roots of Empathy Baby Visit

We were so excitied to see baby Blake! He taught us so much in just 30 minutes!!!

We learned

• That he makes sounds for words

• He loves his mum

• He was more interested in our beautiful faces than toys

• He was RELAXED when he first met us. This means that his 'First Impressions' TEMPERAMENT is a relaxed one

Week 5 Reflections

Phoenix: I was shy and didn't like talking to the camera and now I like doing webcam stuff. I feel more confident and now I speak louder to the camera.

Michelle: I am getting a little bit good. The first time I couldn't speak because I was too shy and now I'm getting heaps better.

Siaga: When I first talked to the camera I was a little bit scared now I'm feeling good.

Nelson: I felt happy and was excited because i was going to be famous when i first heard about the webcam. When I saw myself i thought that i could improve by looking at the camera and not looking down. Now when i see myself I am looking at the camera and talking to it better.

Tupou: I felt shy at first and now I feel happy that it's finished and I feel cool and popular.

Mrs Jorgensen says: I agree with all of your reflections here! You have made amazing progress in just two weeks. KA PAI! Now that you are confident clear speakers you are ready to work on your expression and delivery of your news stories.

Reflections:

Wiremu and Logan. Our voices were clear. We needed to manage ourselves better so that it made more sense.

Sarah and Julia. We wrote a good story. We need to speak louder.

Mele and Mereana. We think we need to speak louder. It was sad that there were people not listening propery in the background.

Siaga and Emma. Siaga had a good loud voice. We both need to look at the camera.
