Today, I have spoken to the class about preparing their speeches for Head Boy/Girl, should they wish to apply for the role. Although we can no longer gather as a whole school, for the children to deliver their speeches, we will still be doing them, but virtually!
We will be recording each child reading out their speech, for the rest of the school to see, and they will be shown in each class by their teacher. This means the teachers and other children in the school can have their vote, just as they usually would.
As soon as they have written and perfected their speech, I have asked for them to bring it into school, and we will record them reading it. I have , however, said they can record their speech from home, if they want to, as long as they are wearing their school uniform and it is against a plain background. If it is recorded at home, please can you email it to year6@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk.
The deadline for speeches is next Tuesday 23rd September so we must have all speeches recorded by the end of this day. This will then give the other teachers time to show each speech in their classes, gather votes, and we will hopefully be able to appoint our new Head Boy/Girl and Deputy Head Boy/Girl, by the end of next week.
Good luck to all applicants…remember to speak eloquently and confidently and try not to look down at your speech the whole way through-address your audience! Oh and please do not forget to start your speech by introducing yourself!
