Drawing workshop sponsored by MMRT3

17 Nov 2016

Our children had a workshop on drawing that was sponsored by MMRT3.

It was a day of fun and learning for the children. It helped focus on their ambitions!

It was also a day for displaying their yoga skills to other school children!

Report by Mr Abdul, Maths teacher and coordinator:

* we came to school at 8.00 am

* All teachers who were alloted duties (Mrs.krithiga,Mrs.nabeela and myself) arrived on time.

* Attendance for the day (grades III to IX) - 86 students.

* They came in full uniform and boarded the two vans sponsored by MMRT3.

* we reached the Risa Banquets Hall (vettuvankenni) at 8.45am. It was our school who reported there first.

                            The program started at 8.55am. The organising committee spoke about "ambition". Then activities started at 9.30am. 

At first they asked students to exhibit their talents to which none of the schools came forward! 

Our  school children did yoga . 

The organising committee were excited and motivated our children very much. 

At 10.30 am the children started drawing.... at first they told them to draw their face in the drawing sheet which they provided. 

Then they asked their taught them how to continue drawing their "ambition". According to their ambition they were asked to develop the picture of their face and with their names on the top. 

After the drawing they gave certificates  . They then gave juice and some simple break fast and we returned (kovalam ) at 1.45pm ..

Thank you 

Warm regards

A visit to the Zoo with KPMG Volunteers :-)

KPMG Volunteers decided to treat our children with a visit to the zoo! :-)

Thank you volunteers of KPMG! You touched our children!

Report by Mrs Augusta, our teacher who accompanied the children to the zoo:

KPMG volunteers, two teachers and the students of  IV and V std went for a trip to see the Vandalur  zoo on 15.10.16[Saturday].KPMG was the sole organizer of this great trip. The children were excited seeing the different animals and birds. They were attracted especially gazing at the Tiger, Cheetah and the Leopards. We saw Monkeys jumping on the trees and they started jumping with them . They saw different variety of Birds. They learnt the habits of  a few animals and also some thing about the migratory birds and their breeding season.

We also saw  few  elephant trumpeting a way.

    Our time schedule was  from 10.00am to 2.30pm.During  their short break they enjoyed their snacks. They did not feel the  heat in spite of the long walks.

It was nice of KPMG to have brought in the snacks for the children. KPGM  sponsored also their tickets for the visit to Vandalur zoo. After visiting most of the cages and enjoying seeing them fatigue started to set in the  students.

The heat started increasing and so we decided to  journey back to school. Mr.Gowtham  was a main person behind the trip. We reached school safely and students were eagerly looking forward for an exciting trip next time for another  wonderful trip soon.

 Thank you

Warm regards
