Lions Club Engages Students On Grammatical Capacity
By Nurudeen Adebayo
Ikorodu Peculiar Lions Club has engaged the students of Ayangburen Junior High School in Ikorodu on their grammatical knowledge of the English Language.
The club did this through its annual Literacy Project tagged ‘Reading Action’, put together to test the students on how to read and write effectively, and to upgrade their mode of articulation in English Language and Literature.
The principal of the school, Mrs. Fatokin Adetoun, and the members of the club were assembled with selected students of the school at the Computer Department, where the programme took place.
Lion Aderenle Adedoyin, who took charge of the programme, explained to the students that their level of composure, use of grammar, and manner of presentation were key to their learning advantage.
“There are ways in which words are broken down into syllables, some words when stressed don’t interpret their identity.
“As students, you must work on your vowels and also do not rush your pronunciation methods,” Adedoyin said.
Essay writing titled ‘My School’ was assigned to the students as classwork, to further test their writing ability for five minutes.
Subsequently, the students were given portions of their English Novels to read, which was also controlled by Adedoyin.
After the basic Reading Action (Literacy) tests, Adedoyin appreciated the efforts made by all participating students, advising them to improve their academic performances.
The President of Ikorodu Peculiar Lions Club, Lion David Akinosho told the students to understand that they are solely responsible for their success or failure in life, implying that despite their respective backgrounds, they can emerge movers and shakers of society in the future.
He asserted that the pupils must make teachers their best friends for them to learn more and prosper intellectually.
The Principal appreciated the club for the support to enhance the intellectual capacity of the students.
She also took part in presenting gift items to participating students afterwards.
Meanwhile, the Club has completed a Zebra crossing project for Shams-el-Deen Secondary School, Ikorodu.
The project is aimed at safeguarding students using the road subway during the school’s morning and afternoon duration.
The Principal of the School, Mrs. Adijat Adedeji appreciated the club, saying the supportive job won a special place in her heart because it prioritises the safety of her pupils.
“I never knew how to make it happen, so it was the stuff of amazement watching the club coming out of the blue to get it done for our children.
“With zebra crossing like this, it will make drivers careful in moving through this axis and keep our students safe as well.
“I cannot thank members of Ikorodu Peculiar Lions Club enough for what they’ve done to aid the school, but I know that my God will bless them tremendously,” she stated.
