On 7 April, 2012, SK Selama was bustling with fun and activities as more than 130 participants from the primary schools in Selama, teachers and parents gathered to participate and witness the events organised for the English Language Carnival in Selama Zone.
It started off with the registration of all participants, teachers and judges. I tried my best to organise this programme well with the co-operation of a team of English teachers, some were experienced, others just new. Every event went on smoothly if not for the PA System which failed to function and needed urgent repairs just before the Action Song Competitition was about to begin. The delay had prolonged the time by an hour which also caused everything to end very late. Hopefully, this matter will be given much thought in future to avoid any unforeseen circumstances .
The Story-Telling Level 2 Competition was held in the school hall and the 13 participants took turns to deliver their prepared stories. A few were of good standard, even my pupil , Nabilah Zulkifli from Yr 6 Gemilang who presented, "Si Tanggang, The Ungrateful Son" but unfortunately she failed to score for her impromptu story. Well,the standard of presentation next year has to be raised. Participants are expected to present longer stories within 6 - 8 minutes, preferably those with good moral values. Much needs to be done by the English teachers.
The 'surau' which has a stage is the perfect place for the Public Speaking Competition . I prefer a hall where the audience can watch clearly the presentation , definitely not a congested room like they usually had it done like in the PKG Selama before. Participants must have the confidence to speak to a bigger crowd but I was quite disappointed with my pupils who didn't turn up in large numbers to witness the carnival acitivities in their own school, what a waste!
I must congratulate all the participants who were brave enough to stand and speak. Hopefully, they are more prepared and for the impromptu speech they need to practise a lot of speaking and giving opinions and points.
The highlight of the day of course was the Action Song Competition by Year 3 pupils. They donned colourful costumes and presented their action songs better that they did last year. SK Selama Action Song performance was spectacular and everyone was entertained. The officer from the LMS Education office told me it was very unique and the theme was meaningful. Well, it definitely was fit for recording for the TV station even, I must say. I was very happy and satisfied, I cried again. Thanks to Pn Siti Khairunnisa, En Awang Mansor, Pn Khananun Hana and Pn Zarinazatul for the excellent work. I chose this special theme, "Healthy Living" as it is so important that the Education Ministry had focused on its programme, "One Pupil One Sport". I hope this team will continue to present the best they can till the national level. Good luck everyone. See you in Perak Tengah District on 19 April for the Perak State Level English Language Carnival. By the way, it became the LMS District Action Song Champ on 14 April, 2012. You did us proud, my darling pupils.
The SK Selama Choral Speaking Team consisting of 33 participants including Murnieyatie the conductress and leader presented wonderfully , " Stop Child Abuse" and won praises from the audience . They became the Champ at the Selama Zone being the sole team to represent the zone. As usual, I had been writing choral speaking scripts for many years sand with definitely I had wanted my school team to win and we managed to be the runner-up for two consecutive years, just beaten by SK Convent Kota. My darling boys and girls, thank you for your best performance which is truly a special farewell gift for me especially. You all have brought SK Selama to success and did us all proud. Next thing is , all the participants who are in Yr 6 Gemilang and will be sitting for the UPSR this year, must study hard and strive hard to achieve As in all subjects, especially in English.
The final results were announced without any errors. Thanks to Mr Choo from SJK ( C ) Sg Terap who helped me in printing the results. Thanks and appreciation to all the judges I appointed who had chosen the deserving representatives for Selama Zone.
The Selama Zone English Carnival was graciously officiated by the Assistant Education Officer for Malay Language, En Rahman . I would like to thank all the committee members of the Selama English Panel and teachers from all the schools who were involved in helping to bring success in the organising of this big event. Special thanks to the lovely headmistress and teachers from SK Selama for helping around and in the preparation of the rooms.
It was the last English Language Carnival that I had organised with my wonderful team of English teachers. As I shift my focus to the Trong Zone, I hope with the years of experience, I would be able to share with the English teachers in the Trong Zone to organise the English Language Carnival there properly.
