Also this Week I have been preparing my speech on King Henry 8th and his 6 wives. Just like last year, I am participating in Speech board where I can get a badge and a rating like distinction, merit and a couple others. In the past I have got my speeches rated distinction. I started doing speech board since I was a Year 3, and now I am a Year 6. I am hoping to get distinction this year!!!

Next term I will post my speech on my blog so you can see it!
