October Month Activities

CLASS I & II – CARD MAKING

A greeting card expresses all the human emotions, joy, thanks, sympathy, humor, love and admiration. It allows us to connect on an emotional level with the people who have touched

our lives. We send greeting cards during festivals, birthdays and many other occasions to the

people whom we remember.

With Diwali just round the corner a ‘Diwali Card making’ activity was conducted for the

students of Std. I and II on Saturday 24th Oct 2020

all the four houses participated earnestly and with enthusiasm. This competition motivated the

students to perform and outshine in their creative skills.

Competition teaches children the importance of taking a healthy risk instead of only doing

activities that they are comfortable with.

theme based on a festival to perform. All the videos were shot at the residence of the children

and were then mailed to a student who is good in editing. Coral house Bagged the first place.

CLASS IX – ADVERTISEMENT MAKING

"A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself".

On 21 st October 2020, the students of Std IX participated in an ‘Inter House Advertisement

Competition’ The topic given was something we have all been waiting for, a vaccination for

Covid-19. Time limit allotted to each house was 3-5 minutes. The medium of delivery was in

English and Hindi. All the four houses came up with different innovative ideas related to the

current scenario. There were dialogues, songs, dances and creative ideas of inventing a

COVID vaccine to deal with the pandemic situation.

The whole of the making of Advertisement – script-writing, acting, editing, shooting and

recording was done by the students of Std IX under the guidance of their teachers.

CLASS X – MONO ACTING MAKING

The best acting is instinctive.

It's not intellectual, it's not mechanical, it's instinctive.

Competition motivates and drives people to excel and enables them to learn and understand

their strengths and weaknesses. It also encourages people to come out of their comfort zone

and do something that is not necessarily their strong trait.

Our school recently organized a virtual Inter-house Mono acting competition on ‘Navras’ theme for Grade X on 22 nd October where the efforts and talents of all the four houses were put to test. Each house had to present two acts of two minutes each. As soon as the theme was announced, it sent students into a frenzy and they put in a lot of thought in picking the topic, deciding the storyline, drafting the script and practicing the perfect way to emote. It was

followed by the real fun of shooting the videos that was eventually modified elegantly by the

editing team. All the houses performed brilliantly and every house came up with an extremely

innovative and sensitive topic and made an honest attempt to deliver a meaningful message.
