Our dream is that every champ at The Creek Mercury Campus can read and write well enough, to fully and independently participate in society. The aim of Literacy week 2017 is to organise events throughout The Creek to rise awareness for this dream and to start acting on it.
It was a great honour and real pleasure to witness the 2017 Literacy Week from 24th to 29th of July.
It was also great to discover all the banners,posters,displays and preparations that the organizing team put in place for the week- we were all wowed by how much was going on to promote listening,speaking,reading and writing.
The week mainly focused on different types of writing styles, poetry and drama. Each day was exciting with varied activities to build interest towards language amongest the student community.
We were particularly impressed by the enthusiasm, interest and knowledge of pupils that we worked with during the week. They listened well, answered questions intelligently ; showing great imagination and creativity in their ideas when given a task or challenge.
The first day was organised by 5th and 6th graders who shared their knowledge about English history and tested us with their challenging riddles.
The next day, young poets of the school entertained us with their funny and meaningful poems. After their entertaining recitation, the 7th graders expressive idioms tickled our funny ribs.
The 10th graders disguised as different people and presented a monologue, to raise the appreciation of lesser known type of speaking called Declamation.
In closing, we were hugely impressed by the themed performance that the 9th graders beautifully put on-they acted out the famous drama "Villa For Sale" which captured everyone's attention. It was indeed a dynamic presentation.
It is a real credit to the school to have taken on such a mammoth challenge for literacy Week 2017 and to have pulled it off so impressively.
We were Thankful to each and every one for being a part of it.
