A Handwriting Competition was organised on 14 August at Walnut School, Shivane and Fursungi. Students from Std 1 to 8 got a chance to exhibit their mastery over their handwriting skills. They competed against their own standards and were put into two categories – cursive and manuscript.
Our students had been gearing up for this competition for quite some time…and finally, the day arrived! Students entered into their classrooms, raring to go with freshly sharpened pencils and brand new writing material. The sheets were distributed, the clock struck and the students were off…They began to neatly and patiently copy down each line, word by word. So engrossed were they that a peaceful silence enveloped the entire school.
One key difference between their usual writing routine and the competition was the ‘time’ factor. It was not an ‘exam’ in a conventional sense; so they could take their time. And that they did!
They were careful with each letter and checked and re-checked every line that they copied. The final bell rang, and the papers were collected.
Now, all eyes were set on the results. Their exceptional handwriting skills made it incredibly hard to judge. And, after much deliberation, here are our final pen-champs!
