On the
evening of Thursday 4th March three of our Division VI children took
part in a Public Speaking Competition organised by Soroptimist International of
King’s Lynn.The event took place in SpringwoodSchool
with a total of eight teams from six different schools competing.There was a variety of topics from which the
children could choose and our team chose to talk about the importance of sport
in the school curriculum.
Susanna
Hutchinson introduced the team and whetted our appetites for the main speaker,
George Sowerby, who put forward very convincing arguments for the importance of
curricular sport and the need to offer variety for all.Bertie Stocks then wound up the presentation
with a sincere vote of thanks.All of
the children spoke very well, with confidence and clarity and we were delighted
when our team was judged to be the overall winner of the competition.
Congratulations
to Susanna, George and Bertie, who have asked that the £100 prize money be put
towards new team kit, and many thanks to Mrs Hayes for helping the children to
prepare their presentation.
Whoops a Daisy Angel is a nativity play with a difference,
narrated by Sophia and Harry Basset. The play opened with the late arrival of the comical
Whoops a Daisy Angel played by Anna Sowerby, looking very messy and dirty,
whilst all the other angels looked so perfect with their white glittery
costumes. The dancing snowflakes set the wintery Christmas scene with some fantastic dancing and the sheep and the donkey did an excellent job of moving around the stage. When Whoops a Daisy gets to Bethlehem she is greeted by the enthusiastic three wise men George Morrison, Sam Stonebridge and Joseph Reed. Mary, played by Florrie Tyler and Joseph played by George Hipwell
are also waiting for Whoops a Daisy, who manages to deliver the good news of the
birth of the baby Jesus despite all her difficulties.
The children sang some beautiful songs both traditional and
modern accompanied by Mrs Skipper on the piano. The cast spoke and sang clearly and confidently; it was a great performance! I look forward to next year's show as it will be difficult to beat.
