Here are the poems and texts for this year's Oral Proficiency Contest.

Year 1

The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl

I'm going to fill my hungry empty tummy

With something yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy!

The sort of things that I'm going to eat

Have fingers, toe-nails, arms and legs and feet.

Year 2

The Giraffe, the Pelly and Me by Roald Dahl

We use water and soap

Plus some kindness and hope,

But we never use water, not we.

Who needs ladders at all

When you're thirty feet tall?

Not Giraffe and not Pelly! Not me!

Year 3

The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl

I always happens when I get crossed, when I see red...

Then I get very, very hot all over...

Then the tip of the forefinger of my right hand begins to tingle most terribly...

And suddenly a sort of flash comes out of me!

Year 4

George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl

A mixture tough, a mixture strong.

And then, heigh-ho, and down it goes,

A nice big spoonful (hold your nose)

Just gulp it down and have no fear.

How do you like it, granny dear?

Will she go pop? Will she explode?

Will she go flying down the road?
