Ekya School, BTM Layout recently hosted a spectacular Learning Show at their campus. It was an excellent opportunity for parents to venture into the life of students and teachers at Ekya School and understand its unique learning philosophy.
The goal of this Learning Showcase was to accentuate the students’ work through displays. It was a good platform for the parents to interact with the students, as they demonstrated their school work and provided a deeper understanding of the Ekya Curriculum.
Students across various grades interacted with parents and shed light on scientific experiments, logical reasoning, usage of technology, and exhibited their zeal. Usage of stringed instruments too was observed as a part of the scientific experiments. Parents gave affirmations to the work of students and the Learning Showcase display hosted by Ekya School, BTM Layout.
In addition to academics, co-curricular activities were also displayed. Various clubs at the school such as Debate club, Theater club, Western and Indian Music, etc. demonstrated their work at the Learning Showcase and parents were impressed by such a display of talent.
The patterns of art and painting were exhibited in a neat and cordial manner. The intricate work displayed by both students and the teacher was appreciated by everyone.
The sports corner received special attention from the parents. The co-curricular activities held throughout the year were displayed and it was really eye-catching.

Students from the ‘Editorial Club’ showcased their talent in the ‘Meet the Author’ session held at the school library. Our budding authors narrated their literary works i.e. short stories and poems. It was a great opportunity for the students to present their ideas as well as sharpen their writing skills. During the event, the first time authors unfolded their stories, shared insights on what inspired them to take the first step in their journey of writing. The energy and efforts were very well demonstrated through the narration of stories and are a testimony of their confidence. Each one read a part of their short stories followed by feedback from parents. The affirmations received on the event gave motivation to every individual to achieve greater heights. The students of Grades 5 to 9 organised the Fundraiser event.
