Thinking Out Loud 2026: Grade 5 Olympians shine as they find their voices

Thinking Out Loud is an English learning project for Grade 5 students, where each student chooses a topic they care about and shares it with an audience. From everyday stories to social issues, every speech becomes an opportunity to express personal perspectives, opinions, and individuality in English. 

Throughout the preparation process, these young speakers continuously refined their ideas, practiced their delivery, learned to own the stage, and confidently conveyed their messages. More than just a speech, it is a journey of developing thinking skills, language ability, and the courage to speak in public. 


At the presentation round, the diversity of topics and styles brought many delightful surprises to the audience. Each speech carried its own unique color, reflecting the growth and confidence of the Olympians along their learning journey.
