 Taking a rest to enjoy the Choral Speaking presentations.

It was another challenge I had to face and for days I had to make sure to put everything in place as the coordinator for the LMS District English Language Carnival .  Met the organisers for all the competitions namely; the Story-Telling Level 2 Competition, The Public Speaking Competition, The Action Song and The Choral Speaking Competition.  It was announced earlier in the district meeting that the Spelling Knowledge Discovery Competition will be held after these events.  A special meeting would be arranged soon to coordinate the running at zone level.  I was fortunate to be able to meet all the judges to brief them two days beforehand. 

All the competitions were well organised, thanks to the efficient team of English teachers who were in-charged of various committees.  The closing ceremony was officiated by En Erman Tazardin, the Assistant LMS District Education Officer for Languages.  Pn Juriah Bt Abu Bakar, headmistress of SK ( P ) Treacher Methodist and Chairperson for the English Language Carnival had been working hard together to make this programme a success.   I am pleased to be involved and will look forward to working together to make all the English activitiesfor primary schools  in the district run properly this year.

The Action Song performances were very colourful, lively and had improved.  However, I have to remind all the English teachers to follow the rules strictly and never again cover the participants' faces with masks.  How are we going to see their facial expressions? 

SK Selama Choral Speaking team was the first to perform and they did their best but they lost to SK Convent Kota finally to take the second place. Well done kids !  I chose the theme about child abuse so did the convent school.  Great minds think alike!  Both my public speaker and choral speakers had this strong message to send across to the audience.  Help To Prevent & Stop Child Abuse.  Thanks to the wonderful children.  You are great . 


The story-tellers performed well and they need to improve on their impromptu story presentation.  The champ is from SJK ( C ) Hua Lian 3.  Good luck for the State Level Competition on the 26 & 27 April in Teluk Intan. 

The Public Speaking participants did their best too in their prepared speech but when it came to the impromptu speech section, I guessed they were all caught by surprise.  They had to put on their thinking caps to present their speech of the same difficult title.  Well, after all  only the best deserved to win and the judges did a great job by choosing the rightful winner from SK Kg Jambu.  For all the participants who don't speak English at home or use the language frequently, you have a long way to go if you want to be the Champ. 

Well done, SK Selama!  Thanks kids, you've done your best.  Good luck for the coming Spelling Knowledge Discovery Competition.  It might be held in SK Bendang Siam in the Trong Zone and the date has not been fixed yet.
