The Power of Poetry – The Stage 1 Oracy Showcase<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In the Primary School, we recognise that oral language is about so much more than sharing news or delivering a prepared speech. It is about creating rich, engaging opportunities for the girls to communicate, express ideas and build confidence.<\/p>\n

Last term, our Stage 1 girls explored the art of poetry recitation, discovering how voice, volume, rhythm and expression can bring words to life. Through practising and performing their chosen poems, they strengthened their language skills while developing fluency and confidence as readers and speakers.<\/p>\n

Our Finalists in the Stage 1 Oracy Showcase, held this week in The Playhouse, are a wonderful example of this growth in action. They delivered their poetry performances with confidence, expression and clarity, showing great courage in presenting to a large audience. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and love seeing their confidence and performances grow. A special mention must also be given to kindergarten who recited My Shadow <\/em>by Robert Lewis Stenvenson to kick start the event. These early experiences lay the foundations for the wonderful oracy performances that we see as the girls progress through the primary years.<\/p>\n

It certainly was a wonderful culmination of all three Oracy Showcases held this year, and I think I can confidently declare this to be the best Stage 1 Oracy Showcase yet!<\/p>\n

Congratulations to our finalists:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
