MY EXPERIENCE OF THE SCHOOL CARNIVAL
Excitement was in the air. It was almost time for my first
school carnival. We had worked hard to make this event flawless and memorable
for all. We were making decorations since weeks. We were perfecting our
speeches in our minds continuously. Our
teachers were also working tirelessly making everything better. They were
pouring their heart into making this carnival a huge success. We had
butterflies in our stomachs. I, especially, was a bit petrified as it was my
first time handling a stall. Also, I couldn’t wait to experience this amazing
carnival!
The carnival was divided into two days. The first day was
‘The Fete Fiesta’ followed by ‘The Open House’. The Fete Fiesta would be a lot
of fun as there would be games, rides and delicious food. I reached there with
my parents. I met up with my friends and had a great time. We played games till
our heart’s content and also won a few prizes. The energy there was
electrifying. Most of all, our principal ma’am’s enthusiasm was truly infectious.
While listening to some good music by
our inhouse FM station, we filled our bellies and our hearts.
The very next day was our open house. We reached there early
to make last minute preparations. We got ready with our stalls and now it was
our turn to shine. Our school was a sight for sore eyes. The School Orchestra
played melodious music at the entrance, welcoming everyone to this enchanting
event. Every nook and corner was beautifully decorated with different themes.
Our classroom was no different. The middle of our classroom was decorated in such
a way that it felt as if you are walking on the riverbed and wandering in the
surrounding mountains. Everyone started arriving at around 10:30 a.m. My classmates,
one by one, were taking the visitors on a beautiful journey through the
majestic mountains. It felt like they were weaving a story. Some of us had
stalls on different concepts which we had learned throughout the year. I had a
stall on ‘Similes’. I explained about similes and also played a game related to
that. At first, I was feeling nervous but, after a while, I found my rhythm. A
steady flow of visitors continued throughout the day. We were tired by the end
of the school day but also very satisfied with our accomplishment.
It was a great experience to have. This event surely lessened
my fear of public speaking. What can I say? – I am now feeling as confident
as an eagle in flight.
