Stage 1 Oracy Showcase

In the Primary School, we recognise the significance of oral communication. It goes beyond merely conveying information or presenting a rehearsed speech in the classroom; it’s about creating a rich and engaging environment through the way we communicate. Last term, in Stage 1, the girls enriched their language skills by practising the art of reciting a poem.

Reciting poetry may sound a bit formal, but it’s an exciting way to learn and grow. When the girls read and recite poems, they get better at using their voices, controlling the volume, and adding expression to their words. It also helps them to grasp the rhythm in words, which makes for more fluent and confident readers. In fact, diving into the world of poetry is not just about having fun with words; it sets the girls on their way to becoming language experts!

We would like to congratulate the following girls who presented their poem at the Stage 1 Oracy Showcase. In Year 1 we had Stephanie Wang, Lauren Lee, Cynthia Xia, Emily Button-Kwan and Sophie Assaad reciting their poem and in Year 2, Scarlett Scott, Olympia Polyviou, Liyana Joshua, Grace Walsh and Bronte Lusted. A special mention to kindergarten who recited The End by A.A Milne in choral to begin the proceedings.
