Ladybrand Primêr is baie trots op hul gladde-mond grondslagfase redenaars. Die leerders het hulself weereens op Dinsdag, 5 September, goed van hul taak gekwyt toe die laaste debat van die jaar plaasgevind het.

Learners had the opportunity to choose their own topics this term. All the orators’ speeches were interesting and well prepared. The learners spoke with confidence and enjoyed this experience immensely. These learners are superb orators who could give anyone a run for their money.

Die 3de kwartaal se wenners was soos volg:

Redenaarsaande is altyd ‘n hoogtepunt op die kwartaal se kalender en hierdie een was weereens nie ‘n uitsondering nie.

In die derde kwartaal is ons finale redenaarsgeleentheid en word die algehele wenners aangewys. Die sprekers was van uitstaande gehalte. Almal het hul toesprake deeglik voorberei en ingeoefen. Die toesprake was interessant en leersaam. Beide die gehoor en die sprekers het baie geleer.

The third term is always a special term for our orators. They prepare especially well because we choose the overall winners during this meeting.

We had several entertaining items between speakers and this helps showcase our excellent talented artists.

Verskeie jong kunstenaars van ons skool het hul talente ten toon gestel om die aand nog meer op te helder so het Jacolé Spangenberg op tjello, Eunice Crous op die dwarsfluit, Tian Tian Wang en Renienke van Heerden op die klavier gesorg vir trotse oomblikke.

Die koor was weereens uitstekend en ons wil Mnr. R. Doyle, wat ondanks ‘n blindederm operasie, steeds gesorg het dat die koor die aand op ‘n hoë noot open.

Our choir is always a highlight and this year we really enjoyed Amazing Grace and Shozalozho very much.

Senekal Redenaarsfees
– Zenifer Kriel
Soos gewoonlik was die Senekal Redenaarsfees ‘n … FEES!

Die 2de Augustus was ‘n heerlike sonnige dag toe 44 redenaars half tien die bus bestyg het. Daar is heerlik gekuier en geoefen tot in Senekal.

The Senekal Orators was a good learning experience for the 44 learners who went. The orators were divided into classes with 20 children each and each group then listened and learnt what the other kids had to say.

The Ladybrand Orators (from Grade 4-7) brought back 8 gold, 18 silver and 3 bronze diplomas. The Grade 1-3 orators got 1 gold, 9 silver and 1 bronze diploma.

We are very proud of your hard work.
