Confidence, poise, impressions, gestures, laughter, butterflies in stomach are abundance on this memorable day for children at our kindergarten.
Today is the day children are looking forward to or 'dreaded'. They can show off their skills acquired after one month of gruelling daily practice at home and at kindergarten - Telling a story or recite a poem!
Our children are given a task to choose a story or a poem each, one month ago. They then need to read, understand, memorise and to present them on stage. First they did the presentation at the kindergarten, then on 8th August 2014, they perform the presentation of stage in front of many audiences.
It is a gragatuan task for introvert children. The extroverts have no qualms of showing off their skilful display, but the introverts needed a lot of encouragemnt, cajoling and at times pushing.
The most important objective of all is for them to enjoy the day performing on stage. I consider all of them winners because of their ability to overcome all odds an to perform on stage, even those who are only 4 years old.
I hope through this activity, the 6-year-olds will have the confidence to embark on a Primary school journey confidently. I hope this activity can instill in them a passion for literature from young and to continue having passion for English, which is not a first language or a mother tongue for almost all of them. I hope the 4-year-olds will love English even more and will be able to speak English more confidently. Lastly I hope the children have made a discovery that if they put in their best, they will be able to overcome all odds.
Do enjoy the pictorial journey of of Storytelling and Poem Recitation trip.
