Primary English Elocution : Highlighting Primary Talent

The Primary School conducted the English Elocution Competition for Classes 1 to 4, on 7th October, 2016. This is done annually, in an attempt to promote English speaking skills, in terms of pronunciation, delivery, and voice modulation, and to develop English in its spoken form. This year too, several children gave in their names as participants, which resulted in a keenly contested audition round. The poems selected were varied and very enjoyable.

The competition was divided into 2 categories: one for Classes 1 and 2, and the 2nd round was for Classes 3 and 4. Each House had 2 representatives, in each category. The competition was presented by our Cub Captains, who were confident and well-poised, as they conducted the proceedings of the competition.

The afternoon began with an introduction to the judges, who were teachers from across the school. All the participants performed exceptionally well, winning accolades for their house. The competition gave a lot of encouragement and confidence to the performers and to all the students present there.

On completion of the last speaker, the judges were invited on stage to speak a few words of advice for improvement and of encouragement. The young and gifted orators had won the hearts of the judges, who were overwhelmed by their oratory skills and preparation. This was followed by the announcing of the winners, amidst thunderous applauding. The confidence, expression and talent of the young ones made the event truly memorable.
