I gave my speech,which seemed well received ( they laughed at all the correct times and fell quiet at the not so happy bits ) and I shook a lot of little hands.
After a bit I switched from handshakes to High Fives… which proved to be more popular – shaking hands isn’t particularly natural for under 10’s, whereas slapping a hand really hard does seem to be.

Beaming little faces are a tonic for pretty much everything, so I had a good time.

Thanks to the school for inviting me.
