The Love to Read program at Ekya Schools aims to inculcate a love for books in our students. In addition to book swaps, in-class libraries, school digital library and book exhibitions, the program also includes the Reading Week, with which our students enhance their vocabulary, thinking and comprehension skills.
Starting off on 13th December, the Reading Week was observed at our BTM Layout campus until the 19th of the month. With books spreading across the various genres of literature, each and every one of our students brought with them their favourite titles to read.
The long 10 A.M school bell served as the cue for getting started with our children glued to their paperbacks, encouraged to be engrossed in their books even during an active class.
With the objective of promoting the habit of reading among the students, the Reading week is categorized into many activities, like:
Thrilled to participate in all these activities, our students exercised their freedom to express their opinions and thoughts, without any restriction.
Our teachers were delighted to see so many of their children, breaking away from their hesitation and fear, to come forward and present their views on the books they read. By the end of the Reading Week, our students were well on their way to become voracious readers.
Sports has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does ~ Nelson Mandela.20th December 2017 saw our children turn up at Ekya School Kanakapura Road dressed as cowboys and cowgirls, farm animals and farmers. Themed "Barnyard Fun", the Annual Sports Meet 2017-2018 at our Kanakapura Road campus kicked off with the Sub-Juniors performing a chicken dance. This was followed by the Juniors who put up stellar performances to the tunes of cowboy songs. The Senior group of students stole the show by dancing to Cotton Eyed Joe as Scottish farmers. With the performances concluded, our children took to the track, with two events to compete per group - Market race, Potato race, Lemon & Spoon race, Duck Walk race to name a few. It was a day filled with cheers of joy and winning spirit as our excited parents and grandparents joined in on the fun, with games like Hula Hoop and Musical Chair. In tune with the theme, Barnyard photobooths and games like Feed the Pig, Tail the Pig, Rope the House entertained both parents and children.
