“e-Summer Camp is a time to reboot and redefine ourselves” – Anonymous
The kindergartners of KG I had their share of fun during the e-Summer Camp of SAI International held from June 1 to 14, 2020. As the fun learning continued the kids tried their hand at clay modelling, making beautiful birds on June 6. After a creative time, it was time to relax with music, learning the song, ‘chotta bacha janke mujhko’. On Monday, students learnt during the best out of Waste session, that a mix of dry leaves, fresh leaves and sand can make amazing birds, including the nocturnal bird owl. They also had a session Origami, where they learnt to make faces of dogs. Children had real fun folding the papers to make interesting faces of dogs.
Simple lines and curves can add up to make beautiful creative art. The kindergartners learnt how to make a face drawing and beautify it with colours, next they had a session on music, learning the song of ‘chidiya rani’ with great sincerity. Next day started with the energetic Zumba, followed by a session on Best out of Waste where kids made ladybirds out of leaves. The participants also leant to make illusion toys, during the session on Science Magic. In the highly interactive session, Resource person, Shri Aurorashmi Mohanty shared about the importance of understanding the practical application of science and mathematics in the making of toys. He explained the science behind some amazing handmade toys.
As the Athenian Philosopher, Plato said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” Music fills us with immense joy. The participants of KG I had a wonderful time singing the song, ‘chu chu karti aye chidiya’. Next they had a session on Master Chef, where SAIoneer Ananya from Class XI guided them to make yummy dishes like, ‘Pasta Alfredo, Oreo Delight, Sikanji and Rainbow sticks.
On the last day of the e-Summer Camp activities, the adorable participants started off with a session on storytelling, where two wonderful stories, one of a little hen who baked a cake and another on the magic porridge, were narrated to them with lovely props and acting. Next they went on to do clay modeling, where the little ones with their tiny hands made the idol of Lord Ganesha with colorful trunks and attires. The following day was a day with the family, where the kids exhibited what they had learnt in the last two weeks.
