A delightful and imaginative moment came with the role-play performance by two Class 6 students, who portrayed the beloved characters Doraemon and Cinderella. With charm and creativity, they brought together fantasy and fun, presenting a short interactive skit that not only entertained but subtly conveyed the value of imagination, friendship, and language in storytelling. Their performance captivated the younger audience and added a joyful, relatable touch to the programme.
