We were delighted to welcome back Jacob Sam La Rose to our Federation for Poetry Week. Following his very successful workshop earlier in the year, Jacob returned to work with the pupils again and build on the oracy and performance work started in the last session.
I really enjoyed the workshop. Jacob showed me how to stand tall, speak confidently and project my voice. Reciting my poem was challenging, but now I don't fear going in front of an audience.

100% of the pupils taking part stated that they were now more confident with their performance and speaking in front of an audience.
100% of the pupils agreed they had a simple checklist of things to watch out when doing public speaking
The children were a delight to work with. Not only did they craft their own ideas into poems, they were so supportive of each other when we rehearsed. It has been a really successful day

Why do we do this?
Oracy skills are incredibly important. If you want to secure that job, deliver a knock out presentation and communicate effectively then you need to be able to speak confidently. Poetry Week is a great place to develop these skills: poems are fun, they use high quality vocabulary and are ideal to perform. We want our pupils to have the very best chance of securing amazing jobs in the future, so these opportunities are invaluable!
