Drop Everything and Talk

Each week the students will be participating in ‘Drop everything and Talk’. This is a speaking and listening task that encourages students to share their ideas while developing their presentation and listening skills. Here are a few responses from this week’s Drop Everything and Talk.

Term 2 Week 1 – What is your favourite thing about Easter?

Ella’s Response:

“My favourite thing about Easter is that I had an Easter egg hunt, and my Aunty comes over from Queensland to have breakfast with us.”

 

Asha’s response:

“My favourite thing about Easter is that I get to do an Easter egg hunt. This is more fun than waking up with them in my basket already.”

 

Amber’s response:

“My favourite thing about Easter was finding a surprise gift in my tent. My mum told me to clean it out and when I came back, I found a Unicorn Beanie-boo. It was better than getting chocolate.”

Week 8 – If you had your own motto (for life), what would it be? 

Ataya’s Response:

“My life motto is ‘The ball is in your court’ which means you make your own decisions about how to live your life and you are responsible for your actions. The ball is the decisions or actions, and the court is you.”

 

Drasika’s response:

“My life motto is ‘One hand is for helping yourself and the other one is for helping others’. This means to not be greedy by using two hands for just yourself but using one hand to help someone else.”

 

Suha’s response:

“My motto would be ‘If you believe in yourself you can achieve anything’ which means if you trust yourself and what you can do, you can make anything happen.”

 

Week 6 - ‘What is your biggest dream that you wish would come true?’

 

Drasika: “My biggest dream that I want to come true is to become a famous singer because then I can give lots of autographs and will be really famous for doing something I love.”

 

Jye: “My biggest dream that I want to come true is to have a GT when I’m older because my dad likes old cars, and he says he wants me to have an old car like him. He told me I better start saving up and put some money in the bank”

 

Anjana: “My biggest dream I want to come true is to study really hard in high school so I can go to university because I want to give my parents a good life when they are older. I want to do this as they have given me an amazing life.”
