School Holiday Programme Workshops, April
Join our school holiday programme workshops in April, designed to develop writing confidence with exercises that are engaging and fun. All holiday workshops are different to our weekly classes.
Writing School Speeches
Learning to write and deliver school speeches are an important part of the Year 4-6 school curriculum. Does your child have the skills? We often see our students struggling to think of a topic, get stuck on the research, lack the knowledge to structure a school speech with very little time left to work on the delivery -actually writing a school speech is a number of important skills our students need to master.
At Ten Feet Tall we are on a mission to teach our students HOW to write speeches with less stress and a greater proficiency. We are also going to work on a range of delivery skills daily using fun exercises. Sessions are 60 minutes, online daily.
