Kim Na Ye, third-year pupil, and Min Ye Hung and Choe Yon Ju, fourth-year pupils of the primary course of Kumsong Middle School No. 1, were awarded the "Our Classroom" Literature Prize at the 38th national schoolchildren’s "Our Classroom" Literature Prize contest in February.
Kim Na Ye said that her nursery rhyme “Full marks” reflects her mind.
Na Ye, who has unusually loved flowers since her kindergarten days, said that she compared herself to beautiful flowers as she has learned without any envy, receiving fine school uniform, Sonamu-brand satchel and school things. She said that she depicted in her poem her mind to study harder and get full marks for every subject under the guidance of the kind-hearted teachers so as to become a doctor and pride of the country.
Her mother Ri Hyon Sun said, “I was pleased to see her boast about the diploma and medal of the "Our Classroom" Literature Prize. I never imagined that my family would produce a winner of the literature prize. I feel happy to read her poems.” She then expressed her thanks to the teachers of the school for discovering and developing the bud of her creative talent.
“Na Ye is outstanding in observation and imagination. In the course of writing happenings in her diary, telling about the books she read, studying nature and doing literary exercise, her faculty of imagination and expression improved,” said Kang Il Ok, Na Ye’s class teacher.
Min Ye Hung composed the nursery rhyme “Tears”, which reflects the excitement all the children of the country gave vent to out of gratitude to the fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un for going to the flood-hit areas in the rainy wind in July last year to save all the flood victims and providing the children from the areas with new school uniforms, school things and wonderful “classrooms” so that they could continue to study in Pyongyang.
Choe Yon Ju said in her nursery rhyme “With my mind too” that the scrap iron she collects is not large but it represents her patriotism.
Jon Yong Ok, section chief of the school, said that the students study at school in the morning and develop their talents according to their aptitudes at the extracurricular groups of the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren’s Palace in the afternoon.
Many talented students of the school, including Na Ye, Ye Hung and Yon Ju, are the children of ordinary workers, office workers and military men.
