Literary Week 2017

An eventful week from 24th April 2017 to 29th April 2017 came to an end with the children of classes I to V participating in numerous events and activities aimed at testing and enhancing literary skills. The children interacted about several authors and their contribution in different languages, through the week. Interesting activities like book jackets, book marks, puppet- making, story telling, role play, choral recitation, power point presentations, special assemblies and story writing were conducted, class- appropriately.

Students were read excerpts from autobiographies of boxer Mary Kom and School chairman, Mr. Prafull Goradia. To educate about the difference between an autobiography and a biography, excerpts from M.S. Dhonis Biography by Gulu Ezeikel was also read. This was followed by the children being assigned to exercise their imaginations to write the autobiography of a Rs. 100 note!

Movie screening was an important part of the week where the children of each level enjoyed watching classics. Again, class- appropriately, movies like Tinga Tales, How the Tiger got its Stripes, Born Free and the Harry Potter series, to name a few, were screened. The children also celebrated 50 years of Amar Chitra Katha and 20 years of Harry Potter by watching movies and enacting the most famous character in their special assemblies. Author of the fictional mystery story, The Case of the Chinese Mastermind, Ms. Ketaki Karnik was in our midst on 28th April, to interact about her work and inspire the little ones to take up story writing as a hobby.

The senior children of classes VIII, IX and X came forward to narrate value-based stories with dramatisation in junior classes. The story narration session was conducted very effectively by Ms. Sunita Singh.
