Inter-Class Competition
The Inter-Class Competitions (ICC) for July brought together students from Grade 1 to Grade 4, along with Nursery and Kindergarten classes, for a day dedicated to reading, recitation, art, and self-expression. Held on 31st July 2026, the event gave young learners a platform to showcase skills they have been building all year.
ICC July was structured to suit different stages of development. Students from Grade 1 to Grade 4 took part in reading, recitation, family introduction, drawing, and pick-and-speak activities, each chosen to strengthen a different skill, from public speaking confidence to quick thinking under a time limit. Meanwhile, the youngest learners had competitions designed specifically around their developmental stage.
Nursery and Junior KG students took part in a Colouring Competition, while Senior KG students were given a slightly more advanced Drawing and Colouring Competition. These formats matched each age group’s current abilities, ensuring every child could participate confidently rather than feeling out of their depth.
Teachers observed high levels of enthusiasm throughout the event, with children filling their pages with vibrant colours and original ideas rather than copying from a reference. For many young children, this was an early experience of working independently on a creative task from start to finish, under gentle guidance rather than direct instruction.
Competitions at this age are rarely about winning. They matter because they give children low-pressure opportunities to try, to be seen, and to feel proud of something they made themselves. Reading and recitation activities build language and memory skills, while drawing and colouring activities support concentration and hand-eye coordination skills that carry directly into early literacy and numeracy.
Teachers across grades noted how differently each age group approached the same idea of “showing what you know.” Younger children leaned on colour and imagination, while older students layered in structure and expression through reading and recitation a reminder of just how much growth happens between Nursery and Grade 4.
