Junior School Poetry Recital
We are so proud of all our littlest learners, who conquered their nerves to present poems to their classes. Speaking in front of groups is a life skill that we all need – there are many adults that are nervous to speak in assembly etc, or even in front of family gatherings. Having their voice heard is a gift we can give our children. Thank you to the teachers for the way you support our students to achieve this. Well done to our super judges Mrs Adamson, Mrs Young & Mrs Spittal. And massive congratulations to the following students who presented at our finals in front of a large audience today:
- Year 0: 1st Seb M, 2nd Chloe M, 3rd Livi S, Highly Commended: Beau R & Nua M
- Year 1: 1st Baxter T, 2nd Heidi S, 3rd Kira A-J, Highly Commended: Florence H, Kase W, Teakin T
- Year 2: 1st Mieke VDM, 2nd Scarlett VB, 3rd Isla W, Highly Commended: Eli H, Ruby H, Meg VDM
- Year 3: 1st Daniel M, 2nd = Jakob P & Ruby E, Highly Commended: Kalo T, Maggie H
The Top 3 Place Getters will all present their poems again at the Senior Speech Finals next Tuesday to show the whole school.
