This year's competition was hosted by SK Sulaiman and it was great to see so many friends, colleagues and pupils in the same place. The competition was tough as brave and enthusiastic pupils did their best in public speaking, storytelling, poetry recitation and of course the action song category!
All the hard work that Bentong teachers and pupils had put into the performances was clear to see and they all deserve to be congratulated and their efforts celebrated. As always the action song included fun compositions, colourful costumes and ambitious choreography.
The participating pupils did wonderfully and all the performances were thoroughly enjoyable...it's just a shame that there can only be one winner!
Congratulations must also be given to all the pupils who took part in the public speaking and storytelling. The standard was very high and those who took part spoke with confidence and enthusiasm.
Poetry recitation and composition has been introduced and has left English teachers all over the country scratching their heads as they try and compose original poetry. This year poems were to be based on the themes hope, beauty and freedom.
English teachers rose to the challenge and composed inspiring and authentic poems that incorporated the various required techniques.
So a big round of applause to all those who took part, whether it be behind the scenes or up on the stage. This English event was a great success and it truly promoted the enjoyment and use of English language amongst both teachers and pupils!
