On Thursday 16th September our House Captains and Vice House Captains were chosen. Each potential candidate shared their speech with the children in their house, and they then voted for who they would like to represent them. All members of staff were very impressed with the quality of the candidates speeches.

Spruce

House Captain – Isabelle

“Hi Everyone. My name is Isabelle and I hope that you will vote for me as the captain of Spruce. I am not a perfect pupil (I’ve sometimes had a hard time at school) but I do care about our education and I feel like I’m a real honest example of what Forest View pupils are. We are ambitious, positive, creative, kind and hopeful. The past 18 months have been crazy for us all but we have had the support of our great school, parents and carers and got through it together.

If you vote for me as your captain I would like to give you something back in return. I will make you a promise that I will be there for you. I am a great listener, a good friend and anything I can help you with I will give you my all. I have already started to think about new ideas that will benefit us. We could have a huge suggestion tree where any pupil from any house could write their thoughts or ideas on a leaf and place it on the tree.

This would benefit all house captains and staff as it would be a great place if you didn’t want to speak to someone directly, because sometimes it’s hard to talk. I would love this opportunity and I promise if voted your House Captain to strive and make Spruce House the best!”

Vice House Captain – Amy

“Hello. I’m Amy and I am in Year 6. I’d like to be House Captain because I believe I am an approachable person to come to and I will do my best to help others in any way I can. Also I will listen and take ideas on board.”

Cherry

House Captain – Grace

“My name is Grace and would really like to run for House Captain of Cherry House. Let me tell you a bit about myself first. I am 10 and I am in Year 6. My favourite hobbies are swimming and football. I’m kind, happy and respectful. I use manners when needed and I like making people’s day much better and making them smile. I hope that I become your House Captain as you would get to know me a lot better. I have always been inspired by other House Captains. This is my first and last chance to be House Captain. I will definitely try my hardest to help everyone, whether they are feeling lonely, happy, sad, angry or annoyed. I would love to help others attempt to reach their goals.

I would also like to help our school community even more. I have a great attitude towards our school. During morning break and lunch I will make sure that everyone has someone to play with even if they are not in my house group. I will try my hardest to encourage everyone in my house to get as many house points as possible.

Thank you for listening.”

Vice House Captain – Daisy

“You should vote for me because I like to help people and put a smile on their faces and also do what is best for our house group.”

Redwood

House Captain – Ethan

“Hi. I’m Ethan. You should vote for me because I want Redwood to be the best and get the most house points. So try your best and try to help other students, teachers or just say please and thank you.”

Vice House Captain – Layla

“Hi. My name is Layla. I would love to be your vice captain because I will cheer you on for sports day. I will be a good role model for you and most of all I will cheer you up if you’re feeling down. So please vote for me. Thank you.”

Oak

House Captain – Robbie

“Hi! My name is Robbie. You might remember me from last week but you won’t remember my friend Ted! He thinks that you should vote for him and me because we are not only going to earn lots of house points but we will accept everyone for who they really are! But even if I don’t become captain you can come to me at any time and ask me anything. Thank you everyone for listening and remember with me as your captain we can lead this team to victory!”

Vice House Captain – Holly

“I’m Holly and I think you should vote for me because I want to inspire everyone to do their best. Even though there is young people, they can achieve things and help out as much as we do. I try my best to earn house points for our house. I’m hoping for us to go on a trip and have fun!”

Maple

House Captain – Hallie

“Hi my name is Hallie. I would like to be House Captain or Vice Captain of Maple to help people when they are struggling and when someone is lonely or sad on the yard I would ask them if they want to play with me and my friends. If you want to get house points you just have to help people, hold the door open and do jobs. Do your homework, work hard in your class and read your book at home and at school.”

Vice House Captain – Josey

“Hi! I’m Josey. I like sport and you should vote for me because I will hopefully be a good role model to you and I have helped Maple win a house treat before. I have been with Maple since Reception and want them to win and help people to win a house treat.  Especially for the little ones. Sincerely Josey.”
