HAVE YOUE HEARD TH ONE...

LOL! 2016 JOKE BOOK

FOREWORD Speech, language and communication skills are fundamental to developing good literacy and numeracy. Without good communication skills, children will find it harder to make friends and do well at school.

In this book, we have gathered together the entries from the 2016 competition. We hope that you will use it as part of a class or whole-school activity. Hopefully, it will remind you of the fun aspects of communication and the importance of building children’s communication skills and confidence whatever their starting point.

Developing good communication can be fun and to demonstrate this, the Speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists have, for a fourth time, hosted the Northern Ireland Voice Box Awards, a joke-telling competition for school children.

Although there can only be one Voice Box Champion, we wanted to say thank you and well done to all the schools and the speech and language therapists who took up the 2016 Voice Box challenge. We look forward to having you join the competition next year!

This year, thousands of pupils from primary, postprimary and special schools got involved by holding their own mini Voice Box competitions to select a pupil to represent their school. Out of all the entries received, 20 finalists were shortlisted to tell their jokes in front of MLAs and other invited guests in Parliament Buildings Stormont.

Yours sincerely,

Anne Gamble Chair of Voice Box 2016 Judging Panel RCSLT Country Representative
