Lights, camera, Class 2!

Throughout this half term, Class 2 have been stepping confidently into the spotlight by taking on the role of presenter during our special mention assemblies. Each young person has had the opportunity to stand before the class and share positive news, celebrating achievements and recognising the successes of others.

In preparation for their presenting role, the young people have been developing important communication skills. They have thought carefully about their body language — standing tall, facing their audience and showing confidence through their posture. They have practised using a clear tone of voice, making sure they speak loudly enough to be heard while maintaining expression and enthusiasm. Reading information accurately has also been a key focus, with young people taking care to pronounce words correctly and present the details clearly.

It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow week by week. Even those who felt a little nervous at first have shown fantastic resilience, rising to the challenge and delivering their announcements with pride. Supporting one another along the way has made the experience even more special, creating a positive and encouraging atmosphere within the class.

Taking on the role of presenter has not only strengthened their speaking and listening skills but has also helped to build self-esteem and independence.

We are incredibly proud of the maturity and professionalism they have shown.

Who knows — perhaps we have some future newsreaders, presenters or public speakers in our midst!
