Speak up!

 









On Thursday we kicked off our new inquiry topic titled 'Speak Up!'  We had a special syndicate assembly where Choi spoke to us entirely in Chinese.  We quickly discovered that whilst we didn't understand the language we could understand what she was saying.  She told us Nursery Rhymes in Chinese and Sally, Jo and Sue acted them out.  We then had to guess which one was being acted out.  

















We discussed that we knew what Choi was saying because:
- She used actions
- She showed us numbers on her fingers
- Of her tone of voice
- The body language she used
- Of the facial expressions she used
- She acted/mimed
- She looked at us when she was talking to us
