Leader Nomination Speech

Today I have presented my head boy speech in front of the year 7 and 8s. I felt super nervous but I carried on saying my speech. When I was up on stage Mr Johnston, Mrs Kirkpatrick and Mrs Anderson were watching. The other speeches were good. In my speech I talk about what I will do if I become leader and how I will be a role model to younger students. If you want to read my speech it is here.

Head boy Speech

Hi my name is Sylis and I am going for head boy for 2017. I think I am the perfect contender for head boy because I think I have got the skills and good interaction skills with kids and adults. The skills I have are helping people who need extra help, Supporting and helping friends in tough times and seeing the positive things in a day even if its going bad. I think that the skills I have will fit the position well. I show these things by helping people when they hurt them self and help prevent a bad thing from happening (E.G Help stop a fight). I want to be head boy because I want to learn new skills about being a leader and be a role model that kids look up too. I can follow the PBS CARE values to be a role model. I am trustworthy at anything, A confident speaker and good at interacting with anyone. I am a bit shy when I speak to people but I think that I will grow out of being shy and maybe that will help me in the future. I am good at talking to people and giving ideas. I am confident talking in assembly every friday and special nights like learning night. I think I am the best pick because I want to take the responsibilities of head boy and I also want to grow my leadership as I grow into a teen. I want to help others that need guidance and I want to be a role model. I am reliable, Trustworthy and I have integrity. I am not the smartest kid but I can be a good leader. If I become head boy I will try to be a good role model, Helper and most important a leader to the school. I will try my best to not to be silly. I am good at helping teachers with jobs. When people need help with work I normally help them to finish. I would like to take the responsibilities of getting my work finished and helping others to finish. I want to take what have learnt in class into the school and the world. I am good at working with anyone in the class when we do group activities and partnering up with people. I will also use our school values of CARE meaning Confidence Attitude Respect Excellence and innovation to help me be a better student of Panmure Bridge School and a good leader. I have currently completed my confidence award and close to finishing my attitude award. The qualities of a leader is helping, being a role model, encouraging others to do good, do jobs without someone asking, being responsible and being reliable.  I think that I have the qualities of being a leader.

This comes to the end of my speech I hope that I have persuaded you enough to vote me head boy of 2017. Thank you for listening to my speech.

Why Games are not good

From Computer games to PSP, Games can come in all shapes and sizes. My name is Sylis and I am going to talk about games.

First of all Games are not healthy and second there is better stuff you can do like getting active and having fun with your family. If you get hooked you will get nowhere in life. Sometimes people chose games over life and I don’t want to be that kind of person, do you?

I like to play games on my PS3 and i'm sure some of you have too. More than 1.2 billion people around the world are playing games. A man once couldn't take his eyes of the screen and he played for 19 consecutive hours without food and drink. He unfortunately died due to this.

Games are not healthy. If you play games too much it will turn into a habit. You will also have no skills in making friends. I’m not saying take games away forever i’m just saying spend time with your family and friends once in awhile.

There is better stuff you can do like improve your social skills and make new friends. It will be a good life if you concentrate on it. It could turn into an addiction when you can’t get off your game for even 5 minutes. Without interactive skills you can end up with no family and friends. Pretend that you have no family and friends, How would you feel?

If it was me I would want to change my ways. I love to play games and I’ll admit it, I play on my computer too much. I think it is dangerous for me. When people play games they sometimes get influenced into doing bad stuff. This can lead to you getting in trouble or even imprisonment. It will effect everyone that you love.

Little kids might get influenced into doing something bad. There are also games that are not good for you. Always read the age restriction to see if you meet the requirements.

Next time you play games think if you are going to be on games all day or going outside to have a bit of fun.

Today I was put in a group and we had to share our speech with our group. We did this because it was going to decide who was going to present there speech in front of the school. This is a rubric that my group filled out. This shows what I need to do better and what I have done good. My topic on my speech is why games are not good. My group chose Thomas and I to present in front of the class.
