This week saw the finals of the Junior School Morison Verse Competition.
Mr Fernandez, Head of English in the Senior School, came along to judge the competition. He gave the girls feedback, remarking on how they performed with incredible eloquence and poise. The girls chose all different types of poems: some short and snappy; some humorous; some lengthy with many stanzas to learn. All poems were impressive in their own right, and were beautifully learnt off-by-heart.
Please see below the list of the winners.
| Year Group | Winner | Poem |
| Reception | Isabel | Halfway Down |
| Year 1 | Charlotte M | Bobby’s Bubblegum |
| Year 2 | Sienna | I Saw My Teacher |
| Year 3 | Megumi | Daddy Fell in the Pond |
| Year 4 | Paula | I wandered lonely as a cloud |
| Year 5 | Sofia L-W | Macavity |
| Year 6 | Lita | The Last Ship |
The winners went on to represent the Junior School and perform in front of Senior School girls in the Senior competition. This impressed them all, and Mrs Elphinstone particularly remarked on their brilliant recitations.
