Details of Workshops, Drama, Recitation, Quiz contest
1) Drama Workshop - Resource person will be invited to organise the
workshop.
Workshop theme will be designed from the content of their book such as,
'Sahajpath' is a selection of their class lessons. When the children will learn their lesson through Drama Workshop and role play it will be interesting for them and
will help them to memorise the content.
Every month a cultural programme will be organised where the school children will perform what they have learnt in their class, which will make more interested to follow the syllabus.
This drama workshop will be
v Organised twice in a week for each class and
v Once in a month final workshop will be held.
Recitation
In the classroom the children read poetry/rhymes etc. but as the rural children
have some difficulties in pronunciation it is sometimes difficult for them to learn
the meaning of poetry and rhymes.
So this year we have decided to teach them poetry and rhymes with a
special workshop method. For that we will invite resource person who will take the workshop on recitation and rhymes where both existing teachers and students will participate. So that teachers can take up the follow up measures.
This process will continue throughout the year. But every month there will be a
competition among the students where outside children may join.
Quiz Contest
Quiz Contest will be held mainly based on General Knowledge. Here also resource person will be invited to organise this contest. Outside school children also will be invited. There are General Knowledge classes in regular routine of school children. Through the contest it will be helpful to access how the children are following General Knowledge.

from their content of syllabus it will be interesting for them and they would be
