The e-Summer Camp of SAI International which is held from June 1 to 14 is indeed rejuvenating, energising and enriching for students and parents as well. The gamut of interesting and interactive activities brings forth an abundance of joy, wisdom and a spirit of positivity in the students.
The participants of Class II are having their own share of fun. The activities commenced with students learning to make a double layer chocolate and orange cake during the Master Chef session. Adding to it, the children got an idea on how to prepare a perfect fruit salad. Then came the time for some songs, where kids got to sing an apt song meant for them, ‘chota bacha janke mujhko’, synchronising it with the tunes of harmonium and rhythmic claps.
On day II, the participants danced to the tunes of a musical symphony of folk music. They had a wonderful time learning traditional steps of various folk dances from South India. Next was the time for drawing scenery with the help of colourful sketch pens, giving the right effects with line paintings, which was an altogether a new experience for the students. On day III kids created a beautiful garden out of paper during their session on Origami. It was adorned with colourful flowers with stems and leaves. Their creativity continued with making masks using chart papers.
Next day, the participants learnt to create clay elephant. Later they had an energetic session on Zumba. They also made hanging photo frame by using ice cream sticks, continuing with a session on folk dance which was highly enjoyed by the participants.

The Resource persons focussed on four aspects of storytelling like voice modulation, facial expression, dialogue and the use of props, guiding the students on how to make storytelling better by using all these elements. Next the children showcased their skills by delivering dialogues from their favourite cartoon serials like Shiva, Oggy and the cockroaches, etc. Some of the kids even delivered dialogues from movies using props while narrating.
