Students Celebrate Bermuda History
Yesterday [Feb.28] Port Royal Primary School’s first ever History Expo — ‘Beyond Boundaries’ – was opened by legendary Bermudian international footballer Clyde Best.
The purpose of the Expo is to have students learn about persons of significance in Bermuda’s History through research and presentation. The Expo will run until Thursday, March 1, 2012 in the school hall.
The Expo has been organized by the school’s Science/Social Studies Coordinator, Ms. Zonique Swainson and her committee. Students were allowed to submit individual or group projects in one of four categories: Multimedia Documentary (Information presented using technology), Exhibit (Information presented as a three dimensional display), Historical Paper (Written information on the subject) and Performance (Live presentation done in a dramatic fashion).
The committee received over 80 entries for the Expo with all students from primary one to six participating. The morning’s opening ceremony included a piano performance of ‘Hail to Bermuda’ by primary two student Gloria Candiolo, a monologue on Mr. Stanley Burgess presented by Sijay Samuels, and power point presentations on Clyde Best and Bishop Norris Dickenson by Jordyn and Kallan Richardson and Delia Ebbin respectively.
Mr. Best gave concluding remarks and shared his pride in the work students had produced. He also encouraged them to always try their best, set goals for themselves and work toward their goals.
School principal, Mrs. Holly R. Richardson commented, “I am very proud of the effort students have put into preparing for this History Expo. Students have produced fine works, and have been able to use their talents in a variety of ways to share their learning. I look forward to the presentations over the next couple of days, and encourage everyone to support our students in this and other positive events.”
Student presentations will continue on Wednesday and Thursday morning at 8:45 a.m. The public is invited to come and be a part of the opening for the next two days, as well as to view the projects at any time through the school day.
