Throughout Term 3, every student in Years 1 and 2 chose and recited a poem in front of their class. They were then chosen to go through to the next level which was speaking in front of their Year group. The culmination was today where the students spoke in front of the entire group.
The judges were Mrs Wheeler (Deputy Head of Junior School) and Mrs Pettit (High School English teacher). The judges were looking for oral expression, pace and rhythm and how well they engaged the audience. They were very impressed with the way the children had learnt the poems, the range of poems chosen which certainly developed vocabulary understanding and by the way they recited them.
