Poetry Recital - middle school

 Middle School Poetry Recital Finals 2013

In the last week of term 3 the annual middle school poetry recital finals were held in the hall. Our judges were Janet Keen and Mrs Cato. Janet gave a very complimentary review of the competition in her weekly newspaper column. 


The standard was very high this year with all finalists having memorised their poems and many children used expression in their voice and gestures.


Alex Veper and Poppy Martin represented room 6 in the year 3 section and Tom Parry, Joseph Boles and Naina Michael represented room 6 in the year 4 section.








Children from rooms 6, 7, 8, 14 and 15 participated in the recital.


Tom gave it his best using expression and gestures.



Joseph gave an excellent recital but had his poem cut short by early clapping.

Well done to Tom and Joseph for giving it their best and making us proud.

Poppy went the extra mile and included props and a costume as part of her recital.



Alex wrote his own poem for the competition. Here he shows us his participation certificate.


Kate won the year 3 section with a magnificent poetry recital showing public speaking skills of the highest order.
