Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes and cooking, it’s about harnessing imagination, empowerment and creativity! Students of Ekya School BTM Layout proved that cooking delicacies is possible without fire as the school hosted its annual Fireless Cooking contest for Grades VII to IX.

Our students prepared lip-smacking items like popcorn bhel, a variety of sandwiches and burgers, paneer wraps, veg rolls, choco lava cake, lemonade, chocolate ladoos, trifle pudding, and proved their versatility in cooking even without fire!
The Pre-primary wing of Ekya Early Years ITPL had organized a Shloka/Prayer Competition for its students. The entire AV room resonated with the blissful chanting of shlokas from the scriptures like Bhagwad Gita, Ganesh Pancharatan, Gayatri Mantram, to name a few. The judges and audience were left spellbound by the marvellous rendition of our little tots. So young to look at but their grit in reciting the shloka was flawless. There were a few surprise elements when some students came up and sang shlokas in melodious tunes, explained the meaning of each verse and entertained their fellow students. The programme culminated amidst great applause and cheering.

Judges thoroughly enjoyed going through the recipes with our little chefs and tasting their spread.

Some carvings present more artistic detail, while others have simple, yet beautiful shapes.

Students from Grades III and IV took part in the annual Best Out of Waste activity at Ekya School JP Nagar. A tough contest for judges to evaluate as our children outdid themselves with their fine craftsmanship. Built from scratch with instructions and materials given to them, we had a pen-stand, carry-bag, a guitar, models of houses and windmills on display amongst the several interesting items our students came up with. A peek into their ingenuity!
I have always been interested in painting. I was lucky to get an opportunity to learn art from a very good teacher. My favourite form of art is charcoal which needs patience. Charcoal painting is a wonderful painting style, in black and white, which if done in a hurry could result in a messy painting.
