One of the really very interesting events which we have in our school is competitions “Poetry by heart”
Poetry By Heart is a competition designed to encourage pupils to learn and to recite poems by heart. Not in an arm-waving, props-supported thespian extravaganza, but as the outward and audible manifestation of an inwardly-understood and enjoyed poem.
Each pupil is challenged to memorise and recite two poems.
In competition took part pupils of 3-9 forms. Stecenko Oksana pupil of the 9th form is the new Poetry By Heart Champion for 2016.
Oksana has recited with passion and intelligence and we were delighted to present her with the Poetry By Heart trophy for 2016.
Second place was awarded to Anna Olhovska pupil of the same form and third place went to Veber Denis pupil of the 7th form..
The principal of school ,who was presided at competition said:
“I am delighted to support Poetry by Heart. By encouraging children to enjoy literature, we are not just building their imagination but helping to boost their writing and vocabulary skills too, giving them the foundation they need to get on in life. Competitions like this will also help develop confidence and character in young people. I want to congratulate the finalists and everyone who took part, they should all be very proud of their achievements.”
