Primary Public Speaking

Tensions were high in Primary once again, as we held our Inter-house Public Speaking Competition.
Grades 1,2& 3 began the afternoon with their Poetry Recitals. Each child was scored on their fluency, accuracy, posture, expression and clarity. The house with the most points was Kasompe, 2nd place Luano with Musenga in 3rd.




Following this Grades 4,5,6,7 presented talks on a variety of topics. The children worked in groups of 3 to plan and present : introduction, main speaker and concluding speaker.

Positions for Grades 4&5 were
1st Musenga – Endangered Animals
2nd Kasompe -The history of chocolate
3nd Luano – Why electronic devices should be allowed in school

Positions for Grades 6 & 7
1st Luano – Home schooling
2nd Kasompe A  –Altering the animal kingdom
3rd Musenga – Moving into Secondary
4th Kasompe B - Mistakes are part of learning



These students were marked on their voice projection and fluency; posture and appearance; gestures and eye contact; language, speech content and timekeeping.
