Pupils in 8JLE spent the day in a Confident Speaking Workshop.  At the start of the day pupils were asked to put themselves on a line of confidence of speaking in public, with the majority of pupils believing the could not stand in front of the class to discuss a controversial issue.  By the end of the school day every pupil stood up and gave a 3 minute speech to the rest of the class without holding any notes to help them.  I am immensely proud of all the pupils for completing this workshop and gaining so much confidence through it.
