Jazz Watson, aged 8, Haileybury

After completing all four terms, Jazz delivered this speech at the graduation ceremony:

Firstly, I’d like to thank my parents for giving me a better chance to be a better person by enrolling me in Shine and a great school Secondly, Id like to thank Miss Anderson for teaching me to have: • Self-respect • A nice heart • Giving the bully zero power • To be grateful that other people win • And how to go to a job interview. Thirdly, Id like to thank my peers for making me feel happy. I am going to miss you all. Every time I walk into shine I feel excited because I like to play the games and learn something new My lesson for life is to be myself no matter what and to have a good heart My favourite games are: • Marbles because it’s a game of chance – as long as you do a good roll • Shake hands murder because it helps us with our handshakes and determines a good handshake to a bad one • And noodle fencing because you have to be brave to hit the other person first below the knee. Goodnight and farewell and thank you for listening.
