English Speech Contest

Today we had the pleasure of watching the Iwate Elementary School English Speech Contest.  There were as many as 40 participants, 6 of whom where from Zenrinkan.  

There were three sections.  The first was for kindergarden and elementary 1st to 3rd grade students and was a short memorization about the changing colours in autumn.  The second section was a longer memorization piece for the older students.  They recited a story many of you may know, "Freddie the Leaf".  Then the third section was free composition.

During the break, the students performed a dance routine to entertain the audience.
Out of the six Zenrinkan students, 3 were awarded prizes, but everyone tried their best and gave wonderful speeches.  Well done to all those who took part!
