Elections conducted in grade 3 Ekya ITPL as part of the curriculum, students were given an opportunity to conduct the class election to give them an overview of the Gram Panchayat election process. A student volunteer prepared a voter list of all the eligible voters- leaders of 3 political parties conducted election campaign to make voters aware of their policies. Students were advised to have solid reasons for picking a party and the candidate. A committee was formed of 4 students to debate on merits and demerits of various parties and their ideologies and to arrive at the substantial reason of their choice. Votes were cast in a secret ballot box, finally counting was done and results were announced.
Sanskrit is the language of mantra, of spiritually empowered sounds. Its usage is to bring our minds back to the consciousness and power of mantra. Mantra is not just concerned with sound but with meaning. It is the basis for Indian epic verse, and may be considered the Indian verse form par excellence, occurring, as it does, far more frequently than any other meter in classical Sanskrit poetry. The shloka is treated as a couplet.
At Ekya Early Years, JP Nagar children had a shloka/prayer recitation activity where children recited simple and meaningful shlokas.

Yellow is the most luminous of all the colours of the spectrum. It’s the colour that captures our attention more than any other colour. It’s the colour of happiness, and optimism, of enlightenment and creativity, the sunshine and spring. In the natural world, yellow is the colour of sunflowers and daffodils, egg yolks and lemons, canaries and bees. In our contemporary human-made world, yellow is the colour of Sponge Bob, the Tour de France winner’s jersey, happy faces, post-its, and signs that alert us to danger or caution.
Ekya Early Years, JP Nagar celebrated the yellow colour day by playing games. Things were removed from a magic box after a spell “abra ka dabra, gillee, gillee, gillee” and children said what it was and for what they were used. Sub Juniors played the game of musical chair with amazing energy and enthusiasm.
