On the evening of Thursday 4^th 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 Springwood School 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.
