On the 21st November 2013, the highly
respected and anticipated annual Year 5 speech final took place. There were 8
finalists, 4 from each of the Year 5 classes, presenting their speeches to our
guest judge, Reverend Ellie.
A couple of weeks before every boy in Year 5
presented their prepared speech on a topic of their choice. The boys voted on
four of their favourite speeches to go through to the semi-finals. Our 8
semi-finalists then presented their speeches to the class again and were filmed
by our professional videographer, Judd Adamson.
A further 4 boys were voted by the boys of 5S to
represent 5S in the Year 5 speech final. These boys were: Caleb Wong, James
McDonnell, William Chandler and Ben Penno. They then joined with the 4
finalists from 5P, to present their speeches again in front of all of the Year
5 and Year 4 students, parents, teachers and Reverend Ellie.
Reverend Ellie had a very hard decision to make,
as all the speeches were top notch, but she eventually awarded James Hoskins (talking
on Valerie Adams) and Thomas Bloomfield (Aztecs) 3rd Equal, Caleb
Wong was 2nd place with an interesting speech on McDonalds and William
Chandler came 1st, combining humour and detail to present us with
some facts on Advertising!
