What a fantastic group of brilliant performers! Later, we will show you some of their videoed performances for your reference. We certainly hope that their work inspire more of our boys to take part in many more speech contests to train up their confidence, presentation skills as well as artistic sense!

In this Speech Festival, we also have 30 second places and 24 third places! Clearly, our boys have had so much fun and competence in practising and performing through the Video Submission Mode of the Festival. And we are glad to say that this is our best result among the recent four Speech Festivals!

Thank you for all of you boys joining the event and trying hard for it. And I thank our teachers for heavily involving in the training process for many students. “Speech and Drama”
has been an important subject of the English learning experience in YWPS. Keep up your great work and you know what? Our Speech Gala is around the corner...We will certainly see more inspiring speech acts very soon!

Meanwhile, may I invite all our Speech Festival awardees, present or past, to share with us some tips on how to do well in the Festival? Thanks to you all again!

[13 Apr] Big CONGRATULATIONS to our Drama Team who performed brilliantly for the Drama Festival 2021/22. The Festival was held in the form of an online Reader's Theatre. Our Drama Team had been trained for months for the play "The Frog Prince Continued" and had their live online performance for adjudication on 11 March. And we received the results from the Hong Kong School Drama Festival yesterday. We are thrilled to be awarded as follows:

Award for Outstanding Script -- Mrs Abanty Paul
Award for Outstanding Director -- Mrs Abanty Paul, Ms Peggy Yau, Ms Jackie Cheng, Ms Kei Yip
Award for Outstanding Performer — Yuen Hei Wang Roderick (5A); Lo Kai Tik Anson (6A); Lincoln Du Powell (4E); Choy Tung Lam (6C); Yeung Ching Long Caspian (4B)
Award for Outstanding Audio-visual Effects -- Ying Wa Primary School
Award for Outstanding Cooperation -- Ying Wa Primary School
Adjudicators' Award  -- Ying Wa Primary School

This is our second time winning as many as six awards in the Drama Festival and it is also our second time getting the highest prize, "Adjudicators' Award"! (Refer to our previous Drama Festival achievements here.) In the pre-pandemic days, we would have been invited to perform our play for public as an Adjudicators' Award winner. Now, understandably, this arrangement cannot be made, but we are delighted and excited all the same for our achievements!

Thank you to our drama teachers and drama boys for their hard work to achieve this beautiful feat. We look forward to showing all of you our recorded drama later in our Drama Fiesta 2022! Stay tuned!

He is bringing us some interesting words to broaden your knowledge and ignite your curiosity to the English language. The robot is helping out too in this episode! How cute and powerful it is!

Now, after watching this video, do you have another fun English word that you have come across from your reading experience? And what makes that word intriguing to you? Please put down your thoughts in the comment box and share with us! Have fun with English!
