End of year speeches from a teacher should concentrate on the positive of each child.Too often those with academic, sporting, musical or dramatic talents get a mention. Evey child has his or her own talents or skills and you leave them with a sense of self-worth if you mention them particularly. So if a child is helpful, or pleasant or a good listener mention it. If he or she has a smile that lights up a room mention that too. If a child is kind to other children praise him or her. They will not get a degree for such attributes but they are the virutes that will help them later in life. So fill up their bucket of self confidence and tell them why they are marvellous.
