On Monday 11 July, fourteen nervous and very excited students from Y4 to Y6 lined up to deliver their speeches to their peers. They were Jamie Dawson, Elizabeth Ellison, Kenjia Campbell, Rory Trebes, Grace Ngataua, Isabella Royal, Taimainia Hinds, Alif Nurrokhman, Eva Collins, Elijah Collins, Keera Follows, Jake Teacy, Paige Luff and Holly McCleery.
Each speech was a persuasive piece of writing and therefore the students were willing to persuasive their audience with their point of view. They were also ready to persuade the judges.The fourteen students had already delivered their speech to their class and had been chosen by their classmates.
Thank you to the judges, Belinda Wallace, Barbara Boyd and Jan Wright for volunteering their time and completing the very difficult task of choosing three winners from a collection of very worthy speeches. Two of the winners will go on to compete in the Thames Coromandel speech competitions later next term.
The winners were: 1st: Alif Nurrokhman, 2nd: Rory Trebes Highly Recommended: Grace Ngataua and Eva Collins.
