English Literature Festival Held

The English Language Festival for Classes 1-5 was held during the third week of February, 2011. For the first two weeks of the month, children were busy preparing themselves for a Nursery Rhyme Quiz, for classes 1 and 2. Classes 3, 4 and 5 were engrossed reading various fairy tale books, in order to prepare themselves, for the Fairy Tale Quiz. All the children were excited, enthusiastic and eagerly waiting for the competition. It certainly encouraged the children to catch up on their reading and I do hope, they continue to do so.

The English Language Festival for Classes 6-9 was held during the third week of February, 2011 for a fortnight or so, photographs with the names of twenty authors, Indian and foreign, were put up on the notice board. The students were thereby (hopefully!) encouraged to find out more about them.
Later, the students were given a list of titles/novels and asked to name the author.
