2011 Speech Festival

I took half day off from school on Thursday. Mummy took me to Chai Wan, where this year's Speech Festival took place. I had been preparing a poem to recite for nearly two months. It was a fun poem:

My appraisal

"All Wet"
by Tony Johnston.

Tommy had a water gun,
He squirted it at Jimmy,
At Jamie George and Jennifer,
and Katie Kim and Timmy.

He squirted Sally on the nose,
he squirted Molly on the toes,
he laughed and thought it lots of fun...
til Sammy got him with a hose.

I didn't win. :-( Mum said I spoke it too quickly; I didn't do any actions. The judge gave me 80 marks; the person who came first got 85 marks.

Prizegiving at school

Today was a special day at school. I was awarded a language prize by my teachers :-) Mummy, Gong-gong and Po-po all came to see me collect my prize. They took loads of pictures with Mum's camera, but now there's no trace of them anywhere. Someone must've deleted them (Mum says it's not her, but she knows who). Humpf!

The school reports came out last week too, and Mummy and Papa said they were very proud of me for getting 17 full marks on my report card (out of 20). They took me to the toy shop, and I got to choose my reward.
