We are proud to report that our two readers Adriana Kindt (7a) and Lea Shretah (6c) took first and second place in the UNESCO reading competition on !0 April 2025. Both impressed with their rehearsed text as well as when reading the foreign text with a confident and special presentation.
The theme of the competition was "other worlds". After welcoming all the schools taking part from Berlin, the order of the readers was drawn by lot. The excitement grew and all participants had about 2 minutes to read the prepared text passage from their own book. Lea read an extract from "Warrior Cats" and Adriana read a passage from "Treasure Island". The audience was also able to observe how captivatingly both read aloud.
After a break, another book was presented, from which unpractised passages were read aloud. Here, too, both NMS readers shone with a particularly fluent reading and an emphasis that seemed rehearsed. Lea and Adriana therefore definitely deserved their first two places.
The readers from the other schools also produced some great readings. Many thanks also to the Ernst Reuter School for organising this fantastic event.
