With summer passing by, all of us at Ekya School BTM Layout couldn’t help but notice our beautiful mariposas fluttering back into our garden of school. We indeed missed them the whole summer and were eager, on-our-toes, to greet familiar faces and the to-be familiar faces. The staff of Ekya School BTM Layout were well-prepared to receive our students with welcome boards for each class, shaking hands with kids in the most reassuring manner, and starting the day on a positive note.
The class teachers of the primary classes welcomed the smart, ever-smiling, enthusiastic tiny-tots with flashcards and guided them into their class line in an orderly manner. The middle and senior classes though looked nonchalant initially, developed the interest to listen to the speech of the Vice Principal, Ms. Harbinder Kaur.
The Vice Principal introduced every teaching and non-teaching staff to the students and then provided them with instructions about the culture at Ekya Schools. The classes began at 8:05 AM sharp, as we got to see our young minds eagerly awaiting to feast the knowledge meal! Besides the school being charged with the energy of students, we welcomed the academic year 2018-19 with an optimist vibe.
The week started off with a Dumb-Charades event conducted for Grades 5 to 9 and Listen and Draw event conducted simultaneously for Grades 1 to 4. The children showcased their creative side with acting skills and perceptive quality. To concise, we could see budding artists on a roll!
To sum up the week, Grade 6 to 9 enrolled into various clubs to enhance their skills on creativity, performing arts and visual arts. The stellar club was the photo-maniacs, trapping moments and glimpses in the camera.
How did it feel with the spotlight on him? “It does feel weird but it’s ok.” He does admit that he would like to put it all away now and get on with his life. This student is really not fond of all the attention. His mantra for the students of Grade IX Aditya has just 3 things to say to his juniors.Since the pattern of the exam papers was different this year, it helped to have more practice papers. Using Question banks to solve different questions helped predict the questions for the exams. And our teachers helped by taking us through the additional preparation material. I ensured that the 40 days of study holidays was dedicated to revising the entire syllabus and being prepared for the exams ahead.
