Chloe Taylor

Hello my name is Chloe Taylor and I am in room 9 this year.

My teacher is Mrs Karetai and she is always making jokes and

doing wonderful singing(not!)

The subject I enjoy the most is writing(I'm a expert speech maker!)

My favourite colours are baby blue, lime green and hot pink when I grow up I want

to be a singer and actor!

I have many friends such as... Mikaela, Hannah, Kyle, Zoe, Danielle

(she's my pen pall in Australia.)

I do jazz ballet dancing and I am going to enter two competitions, I have

lots of fun doing this because I enjoy performing in front of a large audience.

Some of my many hobbies are rollerblading, dancing, singing & speeches.

My favourite food is fetuchini cabonara with a litttle bit of basil pesto(YUM!!!!)

I have a cute black and white tabby cat called Salem he somehow gets the idea that

my bed is his bed and I wake up with a cat on my feet!

Hope you enjoy your day : )

KORERO TASKS:

The korero tasks will continue as your topic tasks over the next couple of weeks. Think carefully about your topic.

Your talk will be on a topic that you choose, but within one of the three categories:
Did You Know: For this discussion you need to pick a topic and collect information about your topic form any resource. Your "Did You Know!"discussion needs to have an introduction, body with at least three points in it, and a conclusion or summary of what you have told us about.
Hear All About It: For this task you need to keep up with the news events over the week. Select one item of news. The item needs to be introduced when you are presenting it to the class, it needs to be followed up with three pieces of related information and a summary statement given.
Something About Me: For this discussion you need to selcet something that you are willing to share with others about yourself. The discussion needs to be introduced, and have three supporting pieces of information about it, as well as a conclusion.

Each week you will present one topic of discussion. Please ensure you are planned and organised. The presentation needs to be completed in your homework book, but how you present it is up to you. You may use supporting information eg: this is my favourite song, and play it..... then develop the discussion about it.
Your discussion could be a fact you have found in a book you are interested in.....
The options are endless and they are driven by you as you get to choose your topics.

Please remember each discussion needs to be referenced. You need to say where your information came from.
