Over the last four weeks pupils in Year 7 have been busy writing and practising speeches for the Year 7 Public Speaking competition. The theme this year was ‘Our World’. The final featured 17 fantastic speeches from pupils who had each interpreted the theme in their own unique way. The final was extremely impressive and Mr Turner, Isla and Leela had a challenging job judging the speeches for their content and delivery. In the end the judges were blown away by Esme’s passionate speech on biodiversity (1st place), Rose’s emotive take on the theme (2nd place), Albert’s confident delivery (3rd place) and Cara’s extensive knowledge of ocean acidification (4th place). Well done to all involved in this exciting competition.
