Kalpana Madam just wrote in describing the fun at the school on Children's Day. Here is her report:
*****
From 8.45 to 10am all the children were in their classrooms having fun with their respective class teacher. Then they all assembled down and the program started at about 11am.
Debate 4th class topic- Nehru(as november 14th, his b'day is celebrated as childrens day). There were 5 participants.
Debate 5th class topic-polution. there were 6 participants from rainbow plus 3 from other schools.
This was followed by singing and dancing.
After that it was drama.
3rd class did a great show, Lion and the rabbit/ the clever rabbit. It was all a great effort from Gowri and sujatha.They had made animal masks for each animal. The play was simple, with only masks and no other costumes, but it was a very good show.
2nd class also did a great show. The play was 'bottle gourd wedding'.
About 12to 13 kids showed up, each with a vegetable mask. The bride was the bottle gourd, groom was tomato, all other veggies performed a different task. one did cleaning, one did up the brides hair, one did the stage, one did the sweets, one performed the wedding, etc,etc.Children enjoyed it .This was organised by sunitha and divya.

ReplyDeleteAnd the next day: "Greta is having a great time working with the children. She said the children are quick to understand what she wanted from them. I will post the videos on the site and send you the links. She talked to the teachers individually, discussed the lessons and answered their questions. We will record for two more days."
