Trust Speaking Competition | Overall School Winner
In the last week of Term 5, Mr Dockrell, Mrs Flynn and four members of our School Council had the pleasure of listening to nine children from across Key Stage Two perform their speech for us to determine our overall school winner.
Competition was very tough! All class winners had prepared, rehearsed and spoke with confidence and real passion about their chosen topic. We had speeches ranging from Guinea Pigs to Gymnastics and Wildlife to the Eiffel Tower. We were so impressed but it made our job even more difficult to choose a winner.
A huge well done to all of our class winners for getting this far.
Following deliberation and looking at the criteria set we chose Violet (Maple class) as our overall St Botolph’s winner. Her speech on Gymnastics blew us away whilst maintaining eye contact and holding our interest during her speech. We didn’t inform Violet until our Eucharist Service on Friday and we invited Violet’s parents in as a surprise. Violet’s prize was a selection of books along with some sweets to enjoy whilst reading her favourite books.
Violet and Mrs Pollard are looking forward to joining all of the other school winners from across our Trust and heading up to the Houses of Parliament before performing once more to determine the overall Trust winner.
We’re all very proud of you Violet – what a great achievement!
