Speeches

Food! Names! The everything box! These are some of the brilliant titles and topics that people had for the magnificent speeches. First we had to present our speech to our class and the best five people vs again the next day. Then three people get eliminated and the best two go through to the finals a couple of days later in front not only the 5’s not only the year 6’s but the year 4’s 5’s and 6’s! Over the next couple of days we work with our teacher and get over all the shivering nerves we practise looking up to the audience and emphasis. Then comes the nerve racking final, a lot of amazing speeches and very talented people. Finally the prizegiving. Some very sad moments for some but life-changing moments for others. The claps and cheers always bring a smile on your face. Bring on next year!

Lucy representing Room 4 with her excellent speech on if school would be better without boys. She sure knocked those smelly socks of the audience. Well done Lucy! 

Phenix representing Room 4 with her speech about animal testing. She shared her views on animal testing and made the audience think more about their purchases. Brilliant work Phenix!

A small snippet from Miss Bridgland:

Everyone in Room 4 presented fantastic speeches. There were so many varied topics and the hamburger template we had been practicing was being well used. I was very impressed to see students in Room 4 giving constructive feedback to one another as well as encouraging and congratulating each other. Ke te pai Ruma wha.
