We are very excited to announce that a ‘Virtual Speech Night’ challenge will run again this year.
We are challenging all learners to film themselves giving a short speech on one of the issues surrounding the situation we currently find ourselves in, as a consequence of COVID 19.
Learners will be judged by a small panel of staff and there will be prizes for first place and runner up in each year group. (First place £25 Amazon voucher, runner up £10 Amazon voucher)
Choose from one the following questions to base your speech on:
- Should secondary schools should re-open for all learners, in Wales, before the end of the academic year?
- Do you agree that the British Government has tackled the Coronavirus pandemic correctly?
- Has the Welsh Government approached COVID 19 better than the UK Government
- Lockdown has been positive in many ways, especially in the way communities have pulled together. How far would you agree with this statement?
- Would you agree that lockdown has been beneficial to the environment, across the world.
- New Zealand has made a far better job of tackling the Coronavirus that any other country?
- Has social media made lockdown more bearable for families who have been forced to isolate?
- Is distance learning proving to be a better way for young people to learn?
- Can schools ever return to ‘normal’ even after the pandemic has ended?
- Is social media a positive way of enabling teenagers to keep in touch with friends during lockdown?
- Is lockdown encouraging young people to spend too long gaming?
If you would like to base your speech on a different topic, email Mrs Woosey at [email protected]
