Last term we had to make a team captain speech and have an election for team captains. It was very exiting and competitive everyone was very nervous to see who got it. All the school voted. We had a proper voting booth and ballot boxes for the voting slips.

Eco Committee
Last term we did a speech about getting into the Eco Committee since the other class were doing the JRSO. The eco committee is a community and if you do three tasks off their website you can get a green flag. It took about one week to get all our speeches written and typed up. Later on we got to do practice runs on the speeches with Mrs Hutchison. With our reading group we got to assess each other and write a comment on what we could do better. Then we had to do the real deal! We had to say our speeches to Miss Irvine and Mrs Hutchison. They then thought it was too hard to pick so they split us into two groups. I hope we can get a green flag soon!

And the range is the difference between
