ENGLISH CALLIGRAPHY COMPETITION (CLASSES II-V)

"Your handwriting is your self-portrait"- Chuck Palahniuk

Handwriting is a very important skill and a vital exercise for students to develop fine motor skills and confidence. It activates the brain and helps in reading fluency too. Beautiful handwriting makes an impression on the reader. It’s rightly said that our handwriting reflects our personality.

The technological era and the prevailing pandemic has brought about a ‘handwriting crisis’ where most of the students favour keyboard proficiency to handwriting skills. In order to instill the importance of good handwriting and to encourage the students to present the content in a correct manner thereby improving their presentation skills an English Calligraphy Competition was organised for classes 2 to 5 from 12 to 14 April 2021.

Students took part in the competition with great zeal and enthusiasm. Majority of students creatively exhibited their free hand writing through different styles of fonts. The Calligraphy was judged on the basis of writing style, curves, legibility, and correctness of spellings, punctuation, neatness & presentation.

The results are as follows:
