International Poetry Recital

After many hours of practicing, the time came, in assembly this morning, for the children to present their poems in assembly.  As a prelude to International Week, all the poems were themed around animals from the countries or continents the children will be learning about next week.  There was a high standard of performance as we heard about monkeys, tapirs, penguins, kangaroos and the like.  The children tried really hard to perform their poems rather than simply say them; the focus being on clear pronunciation, expression, body language and all round entertainment value.  Everyone who participated in assembly received a certificate.  Many thanks to Mr. Steve, Ms. Heather and Ms. Jenny for coordinating this wonderful event.
