Title: I'm a very proud dad
Post by: 1936ace on August 04, 2014, 05:20:46 AM
Our little zac started Kindy this year and as part of the schooling they do public speaking. Well the little guy has done well. With only mum and dad to help as the audience he had to come up with a topic rehearse it with no prompt cards and present to his class

The little guy has done well, he topped the class before repeating the same at school level. Today he went to the district and competed(hate the word at this age). He was in the top 16 out of just over a thousand little kindergarten kids. After listening to stories about dogs cats holidays and even one about Wales our zac presented his favourite book mr small and he did a great job taking home first
Now he goes and competes against five other little people for the final
Not sure who had the biggest grin nic and I or zac when he heard his name called
A great moment and lucky to be there

Well done Zac, maybe a prospective MP in the making?

I hope not... our esteemed PM has been on TV all day kissin babies...

But having gone through similar performances light years ago in a galaxy far, far away (not the baby kissin' by the way), I understand your pride.

Cheers!  :beers:

Thanks everyone. He only turned 6 last week and to see someone their age stand up on stage under full stage lighting speaking to complete strangers and at a place they have never been to is a big thing. They all did very well

Must be public speaking week at our house as our Lilian is also in the finals for the seniors(high school). She took out the title last year so fingers crossed

I was hopeless as a speaker at school so it must be from their mum😃

It is good to hear young people getting the encouragement they need to succeed.

I hope Zac does well in the final  :claphappy:

cheers John.
