Action Songs-2010

Action Song is a jovial way to learn rhythm and the beauty of language. 'Children's rhymes/action songs are a rare resource of highly creative and energitic forms of language. And they are extremely useful means of developing certain basic language skills.'-Krishna Kumar. Here is a glimpse of such activities at our school. Follow the link.

Mono Acting


In his book ' The Child's Language and The teacher'(NBT) Krishna Kumar writes that children use the language in various ways and some of them are :i)Children often talk about what they are doing at the time they are doing it. ii) Children talk about things to show their knowledge of 'how' a thing happened.
Mono Acting is one of the creative way to express oneself. Here is a link to the photoes where our students performed different roles.

Craft Work


Craft work not only help to facilitate the developing body of the child but is also a very useful tool to develop concentration, minute observation skill and creativity. It also has vocational features but at primary level, we do not choose to focus them. Here is a link to see photoes of our craft work class. We had prepared candles, decorative lamps and dolls.
