Corban

Aaliyah

Corban’s parents were able to come to the presentation. Corban wore a hat with a feather in it. He stood up and recited his poem wearing his special hat. The first attempt was very quiet and directed at me. After a little encouragement Corban turned, faced his audience and recited his poem. Wow, what a smile when he had finished – he was so pleased.

You really did a great job Corban!

Aaliyah did very well. She projected her voice so that everybody heard, and her fish prop helped her to focus on her poem. The judges were impressed with the way she kept the rhythm and Aaliyah was chosen as one of three finalists from the class, going through to the junior syndicate poetry competition.

What a champion!

Footnote: Aaliyah placed second overall in the junior syndicate poetry competition. She stood up on stage with her fish and presented her lines clearly and carefully in front of 200 other children.
