Announcements

All of our Year 6s have been writing motivational speeches to send to the Olympic Get Set competition this week. The winning speeches will be read to our Olympic competitors. We thought all our Year 6s did a great job and all deserve to win. Oliva’s writing below is a great example of how well they have done.

What do you want to be? Do you want to be remembered as the person who kept going, or do you want to be remembered as the first person to give up at the first hurdle? Only you can make that dream you have come true. Only you can get back up when you fall. Only you can make your dreams a reality.

The world is a difficult place to live; you don’t become successful from sitting around. You need to get up, get out there and show the world what you are made of. Don’t be afraid to fail. Learn from your mistakes. He who says he can and he who says he can’t are both usually right. You are amazing no matter what anyone says and you can be the next person who wins a Great Britain gold medal.

Pain is only temporary. It can last a second, a minute. It could last a day or a year, but remember if you quit, it will last a lifetime. Every day we fall, we become stronger, stronger and stronger. Don’t cry because of the pain, do not cry to quit. Cry to keep on going.

Sacrifice what you are for what you will become. Nobody is going to hit you as hard as life will and nobody is going to pull you down. Sight can be replaced by guides, limbs replaced by wheelchairs but everybody has to overcome a challenge; even you. Show the world how amazing you are, how great you are!

Be an inspiration. Be resilient.

Now, what are you going to do?

Writing a speech

Learning focus.

To write an effective speech.

This lesson includes:

three activities

A speech is an informative talk given to an audience.

Watch this video to learn about the key features of writing a powerful speech.

The language used in a speech should be interesting for the listeners.

The acronym A FOREST is an easy way to make sure your language is powerful. It stands for:

Watch this informative speech by Greta Thunberg to get you in the mood for speech writing.

Examples from Greta's speech

You may need paper and a pen or pencil for some of these activities.

Think about these different features of a powerful speech. Can you order them from most to least effective?

Think carefully. If you were listening to a speech, what technique would make the key points stick in your mind?

For example, some people might find that hearing the key message repeated three times will help them to remember it.

Read this article all about the world’s top plastic polluters.

Imagine you are giving a short speech to one of the top plastic polluters. You want to persuade them to use less plastic and make changes more quickly.

Use some of the statistics from the article as well as the techniques in the acronym A FOREST to support your opinion.

Think about:

This is part of a speech by former president of the USA John F. Kennedy about the decision to go to the moon.

Read it out loud and think carefully about where you place expression and emphasis to make it sound as meaningful as you can.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

Excellent collection of resources! Thank you for sharing your hard work.

Great, thank you very much. Terrific examples and analysis.<br /> I think we need to be aware of avoiding verbal diarrhoea, or boring our listeners to death with repetition, though.

Power of Reading Yr 5/6

Year 5/6 have been learning about Shackleton’s journey to the South Pole. They have been writing inspirational speeches for Shackleton to say to his men at the point that they get stuck in the ice. They studied speech writing before they started.

‘Shackleton travels to the South Pole with volunteers he advertised for in the newspaper. The advert made it clear that it would be very dangerous but that if you survived you would be making history. 5000 people applied and he and his 2nd in command, Frank Wilde picked 27 out of the 5000. We have reached the point where they got stuck in the ice only a few hundred yards away from the open sea.’ Joseph

‘To write a good speech of this sort we studied speeches by other people like Joe Biden and films like ‘The Secret Life of Pets.’ We identified certain things speech writers do like repetition, complementing the audience, starting with the bad then go to the good then bad again but always end on the good. I am pleased with the result.’ Joseph

‘The speech writing was fun as well as tricky. I’m the kind of person who wants every word to be perfect but I also had to write quickly and passionately so i couldn’t be too fussy. It was probably good for me and I found I liked this kind of writing- maybe not quite as much as writing stories or poems but it was a really good challenge. Certainly I am pleased with the finished product…I think my speech is inspiring.’ Dolly

Power of Reading uses a range of high quality fiction, non-fiction and poetry and teachers immerse the pupils in experiences that help deepen their understanding of what it is to be a reader and a writer. Before any word is put to the page, the pupils are given a variety of opportunities to talk, draw and explore the text. This ensures that the pupils are fully engrossed in the text and therefore able to write ‘in role’ later on in the sequence. There is an element of surprise to each lesson; keeping the pupils and staff on their toes.

Writing with a purpose is at the heart of every unit. Whether that be a diary or a graphic novel, pupils have the freedom to choose their mode of expression. The Power of Reading approach is immediate and emotive. We’ve yet to find a child who hasn’t enjoyed this approach to the teaching of reading and writing.

Please see here Joseph speech and under it Dolly’s. We think they have produced some stirring stuff here- some very accomplished speech writing.

Please see here Dolly’s speech:-

‘We are tired, we are more than tired, we are drained. We have worked for days, toiling through nights. We are ravenous like beasts and cannot dine on a feast to settle it. The days are long and horridly tiresome- we have so little sleep. I know because I feel it too; I feel the bitter cold, the sleepless nights. These are our worst days, we have lost our hope, our morale is low, every day feels like our last. “It is not fair”, we say. We are stuck and there are 400 yards of endless work to go; 400 yards of bitter tears until final freedom.

So far lads, the journey has been a pleasant one so far. It seemed years ago now when we were in Plymouth with fish and chips and a wonderful old girl called ‘Endurance.’ The Atlantic Ocean was certainly the big blue! A wonderful place, though we lost a few ‘naughty’ ones to the beers! Oh and the delightful lands of Buenos Aires- green fields, blue skies and divine sunsets. South Georgia was… alright, just the weather was depressing like the AWFUL Sandwich Islands. The sea was like dishwater and the sand looked like dandruff. Weddle Sea was hard on poor Endurance, but we’ve come so far, we worked so hard. We can’t just stop! That’s a waste of a journey!

Men, this is your moment! NOW is your time! When I look out at you, I see ingenious scientists, noble warriors; I see heroes. Hurley, you are valuable to our crew, you are, your photos are beautiful and should be cherished. Hudson, you are so modest, yet so brilliant. You have quick, nimble fingers and a comical sense of humour that boosts morale any time of the day. Where would we be without you? (Probably somewhere off of the Spanish Coast!) But how could we forget our wonderful surgeon Alexander Maklin, you work so hard, we all rely on you. That’s only 3 of our amazing crew.

We have lots of time on our hands. Why not use it? We could train the dogs to pull a sledge to make penguin catching easier. While on the topic of dogs, why not dog races? I’m thinking: Wild V Hurley – who will win? But not all fun and games men – we need to defrost the boat, maybe repair it? We need to include everyone, why not some experiments? I’m so happy there is so much to do, though I’m hearbroken we have to set up our winter base here.

Now I can’t say I’m happy but if we say, ‘We can’t do, we won’t be able to.’ We must say, ‘We will go on, it is possible. Make it possible. Giving up is not an option.’ I believe in you. I believe in US. We will go on- it is possible. Say it loud. Make me proud.
