Inter House Competition Preparation – Best Out of Waste (Grades 1-8)
Students of all four School houses thoughtfully brought some reusable waste materials. Students and instructors spent an hour discussing and planning the best items which could be made out of the waste materials. With the help of videos, students planned to effectively use their ideas in the next session.
Inter House Competition – Best Out of Waste (Grades 1-8)
Students revisited the discussion carried out in the previous session and intricately started implementing the plans. After the successful completion of making items from waste, all four houses – Jal, Vayu, Bhoomi, and Agni, displayed their teamwork. They congratulated their team members and cheered with joy. Miniature living room designs with interesting interiors, furniture, and wall hangings were made by the members of Jal house. Bhoomi house re-created solar cooker, bag and wall hanging from carton boxes. Jewellery boxes, paper bags, and pen stand were created by the members of Vayu team. Bird feeder, bag, pen holder and miniature bus were created by Agni team.
Vegetable Dress-up (Early Years)
In continuation to the previous week’s vegetable market and salad making event, the Montessori Environment Juniors and Sub-juniors came dressed as various vegetables this week. They presented a small talk on the benefits of their respective vegetable, also addressing its colour, texture, origin, looks, and taste.
Inter House Competition – Poster Making (Grades 4-8)
Colourful, informative and attractive posters were made by grades 4-8 under the guidance of instructors. Students used various materials such as coloured sheets, threads, clothes, etc. to make posters. The uses of posters and the process of making posters were discussed before creating.
Leaf Printing (Early Years)
Early years at Ekya, Byrathi got an opportunity to learn the basic techniques of painting. They were asked to bring a few leaves of different shapes and sizes. Everyone got a chance to explore this printing technique by which they learnt about pattern and surface structure of leaves. Students also experienced the impact of applying even pressure on leaves to obtain desired prints.
Inter House Competition – Spell Bee (Grades: 1-8)
Students participated enthusiastically in English language word building activities. Instructors had arranged amazing hands-on activities such as fishing words, cluttered letters (jumbled letters in a word), fill in the blanks, guess one word with the help of its description, etc.
On July 6th, 2019, Ekya School JP Nagar celebrated "We are a family" so that parents could spend some quality time with their children. The campus was buzzing with various activities for parents and their kids.
The day began with the "Get into the Groove" where our students, teachers, and parents joined in for a fitness dance routine. This was followed by a host of events including Throw ball for Moms and students, Shuttle relay for Dads, "Junkyard Wonders" (Parents teamed up with their child to make a useful item out of waste material. The materials used were coconut shell/egg shells/old glass bottles and empty tetra packs), "Where art thou?" (Parents and children created their own masterpiece based on the following themes - History and Heritage, Travel diaries, Education for all & Abstract art. The medium for this art was a canvas and acrylic paints), Games Corner (fun games for parents and children alike), "Jodi No:1"(Parents paired up with their children to perform a dance show), "Technothon" (parents created a web page with their children) and last but not the least "Jhankar Beats"(Antakshari).
There was even a photo booth where parents took their family photos and posted on social media. Children and Parents created memories at Ekya. It was fun for parents to relive their childhood along with their kids.
