P7T had a brilliant morning participating at the Portadown Speech Festival at the Town Hall. Pupils were excited this morning to take part, and compete. They did not disappoint. The P7s were excellent- in their behaviour, attitude and conduct. I was a very proud teacher this morning because I thought the children rose to the occasion expertly and I was very happy with their efforts. The first poem performed was “Wouldn’t it be funny, if you didn’t have a nose” by Roger McGough, and the second was “Please, Mrs Butler” by Allen Ahlberg. Pupils spoke with great clarity, enthusiasm and tone - I was absolutely delighted with how they got on. Even though, we did not win the UTU cup, I thought all pupils were winners. Their proud faces displaying their silver medals made it all worth while. All pupils thoroughly enjoyed their morning - a great and memorable experience for all involved. A very happy teacher today!
