Stage 1 Oracy Showcase
Last term, Stage 1 students took a wonderful journey into the world of poetry, polishing their language skills through the art of recitation. By selecting and practicing poems, our girls learned to use their voices more effectively, controlling volume, adding expression, and experimenting with tone to bring each poem to life. Through this process, they also gained a better sense of rhythm, which in turn will help them become more fluent, confident readers.
Congratulations to all our finalists who were selected from Years 1 and 2 to perform at the Stage 1 Oracy Showcase on Monday, 21 October!
They presented with great confidence in front of an appreciative audience.

Congratulations also to Kindergarten, who performed a choral reading of I Don’t Like Custard by Michael Rosen. They captivated the audience with their enthusiasm and expressive voices, bringing the humour of the poem to life.
Many thanks must also be given to the girls in Year 5 who capably hosted the event, Harriet Hyde, Daisy Grice, Dasha Jolley, Evie Keatinge-Adams, Lulu Holt and Olivia Hung.
Exploring poetry goes beyond simply enjoying words – it also builds essential language skills that set our students on the path to becoming articulate communicators. The Oracy Showcases across the Primary are fast becoming a much-anticipated event for the girls each year.
