Room 5 Party Political Broadcasts

We have looked intensively at the language used in political campaigns in Room 5, leading up to the NZ election. The students have created their own parties to campaign and created advertisements one might find on TV. Enjoy the simple, effective, and sometimes slightly worrying ideas for change in our country…

Irish Debate (Last week)

The girls took out a very tight debate win in the Room 5 Irish debate last week.

Well done ladies on expressing their affirmative point of view.





Happy Birthday Caitlin!

Here are the first efforts. The rest are to come soon!
