Hi Rea
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to hearing your Rugby Experience speech filled with all those strong words. Remember to try and get the audience interested by using humour or interesting facts or comments. For the reading activity, maybe you could have added the slide so we knew what you had to comment on.
