Yeah, 3rd Place for Action Song Competition!

Our participants with the trainers, teachers and Headmistress

We are proud to acknowledge you that SK Jugra won for the third place in the Action Song Competition, Kuala Langat District. The competition was held on the 5th April 2012 at SK Methodist with 18 participants of schools from all over Kuala Langat. The first place went to SK Bunbum , the school that won the competition for three times in a row. With colourful costumes and coordinated steps, the school had succeeded to grab the judges’ attention to be awarded as the victor for this competition. Second place went to SK Sungai Lang which was also the same second place winner as last year. Perhaps we can beat both of them next year!

The experience
As one of the trainers for this competition together with Miss Izyan Izzaty, I was genuinely proud of my students. We practiced for almost a month, came to school on holidays, skipped a lot of classes and finally our hard work had paid off.

Judging from the length of the lyrics itself, our school I believe had quite a long one as the song was about money problems. I was amazed by the students who were able to memorize the lyrics in less than a week even though a lot of changes were made here and there. The most important area that we emphasized was the pronunciation and delivery of the song. The students had to enunciate, sound and pronounce the words correctly while singing the song. Since 15 marks were allocated for the theme, we decided to choose ‘money trouble’ as the theme for our song. We thought the theme was fresh, relevant, current and appropriate for children as they can learn about money in general.

What to improve?
Pronunciation is always the area that needs to be improved as it is the main objective of the competition; to enable students to develop their English pronunciation. Besides, after a post mortem discussion was conducted, we came to the decision that the steps need to be more synchronized and the costumes have to be more fancy and extravagant.
