Google Workshop

On 7th and 8th of December, two teachers from Koramangala attended an interesting workshop organized by Google Co. They got to know about educational apps and technology based learning. It was very insightful and interactive.



Science Assembly by Mars class

On the 14th of December, Mars class held the science assembly which they had so creatively and innovatively prepared. 

First of all, the thought for the day was shared: "Education is a possession that no one can take away."

Secondly, an interesting fact was read out: Did you know that the light from the sun takes only 8 minutes to reach the earth?

Finally, two students presented and explained how fire needs oxygen to burn, which they showed using two candles. One was covered with a bottle while the other one was left open. Which one would go out? Check out the pictures!

The second experiment showed how a balloon bursts if held over the flame of a candle. Guess what happens if you fill the balloon with water and hold it over the flame? Correct - nothing at all!

Deloitte Volunteers delight our children

On 27th of November, 60 employees from the consulting firm Deloitte, which operates internationally, visited Koramangala. 
They conducted a great variety of activities with the children. They planned an art competition, board games, puzzles, crosswords, and group games. Children could win many prices and were delighted to receive colouring materials. 

It was amazing to see them try their best at naming all the states of India or guessing the smallest bone in the human body. 

It was even more rewarding was to see the children draw and paint on themes like environment or their ambition for the future. All of them were extremely creative and motivated to create beautiful pieces of art in very little time!
