On Sunday, 5th February, I (Himakshi) attended

the Emirates Litfest Poetry Recital with my two

friends, Zahra and Imogen - it truly was an amazing
experience! We started of the day by a warm
welcome by the judges, but then It was time -
time to recite our poems for a crowd of over
seventy people. I must admit that at first,
butterflies were in our tummies, however, Jumeirah
Primary School performed amazingly! The day was
packed with education, excitement and thrill! We
now wait eagerly to see if any os has been
successful in reaching the final, which will be held
at the festival Centre in March.
