Annual day competitions :2013-2014

Hello All,
Greetings!!!

Annual day competions for the year 2013-2014 was held on 16th & 17th Jan 2014. The students were catogorized as 3 groups. Group-1 with I-III standards, Gorup-2 with IV & V standards and Group-3 with VI - VIII standards. Singing, Drawing, Story telling, Essay writing, Oratorical & Kolam competions were conducted.

The children had utilized their pongal holidays towards the preparation and fully charged to showcase their skillsets. This time the Essay and Oratorical topics were not from their curriculam but on  generic topics to ignite the search or thirst for learning.

The topics for essay writing were:
  • பொருளாதாரம் (Poruladharam)
  • சமுதாய வளர்ச்சியில் மாணவர் பங்கு (Samudaya Valarchiyil Manavar Pangu)
  • பெண்மையை போற்றுவோம் (Penmayai Potruvom)
The topics for oratorical were:
  • எரிசக்தி சேமிப்பு  (Yerisakthi Semipu)
  • நாளைய இந்தியா  (Nallaya India)
  • பசுமை இந்தியா  (Pasumai India)
  • என்னால் முடியம்  (Yennal Mudiyum)
While discussing with the HM, we met few parents and understood that the students had spent lot of time, done hard work to collect data points, discussed with many people on the topics and had also searched in the library. Each essay or Oration was unique and the points were not repeated. It was really very difficult for us to assess and announce the winners.

This time we had participation from the public also. Rajalakshmi & Saravana Babu helped us in the competitions.

Most challenging part was, to come out with winners for Vth standard for the drawing competition. There were 8 participants, each drawing was wonderful that it was difficult to assess and eliminate. At last it was decided to choose all 8 participants as winners.

For Group-3, this time Kolam competition was conducted instead of drawing. This was decided as group event to highlight about teamwork with collaborative effort and co-ordination.  8 teams with 2 participants in each team were nominated. It was a surprise to see 2 teams with boys giving tough competitions to the girls.
