Practice, Practice, Practice

There is no other way to get as confident as you need to be for the poetry competition except by practising - especially for an audience. Ask your family to video you and check whether each word is clear and separate from the next. Remember when you are practising to think about...

and not using a sing-song voice.

We will have plenty of opportunity to practise with an audience at school too over the next few weeks. Remember if you look like you're enjoying yourself the audience is more likely to enjoy your poem too.
