Creativity is one of the most important quality which should be best inculcated at a young age with a focus on innovation,self-expression, and critical analysis. 

The workshop started with an ice-breaker where the participants were asked to arrange themselves in ascending order according to their birth dates in less than two minutes.Later, they were told to form groups of 5 members each and sit accordingly on the tables. The next task was to create something unique & creative out of the material provided to them and give a suitable name to their table/group. 

The team members took turns to brief the participants about the four important skills of 21st century and a series of activities were conducted to unlock the creativity of each participant such as drawing objects and pictures with the help of palm and fingers. The ideas and activities like finding hidden numbers to enhance the critical thinking skills, onthe spot story narration with the help of clay and puppets to boost the communication skills and jumping on the lines to enhance collaboration and physical development were shared by the resource persons to make teaching effective and classrooms fun filled.

Rabbit Race- Nursery

Collecting the Ball Race- Prep

We, the students of Nursery and Prep of Ahlcon International School participated in 'Rabbit Race' and 'Collecting the Ball Race' respectively organised by our teachers on Friday, 20th September, 2019 in the Basketball Court.
For 'Collecting the Ball Race', Prep students were guided and instructed by their teachers to run as fast as they can and collect the balls placed in front of them in bowls. The moment they heard "On your mark, Get Set Go", the teachers could see them collecting balls and scooting towards the finishing line. Their energy and enthusiasm was unstoppable when they heard their friends cheer for them.
The teachers guided and encouraged the students a lot.
Nursery students were encouraged to participate in 'Rabbit Race' where they had to hop like a rabbit and reach the finishing line. The cute and beautiful rabbit headgear's made them feel special and confident. Hearing their friends clap and hoot for them encouraged them to hop even more faster. Here are some pictures of the fun everyone had. Please do have a look.
