IES Welcomes the Season – A SPRING CAMP

Vacation without participating in a rejuvenating atmosphere is unimaginable.   The organizers Mrs. Sheeba Balraj and Miss. Uma Maheshwari charted out a plan for a spring camp for the students of Indian Educational School to be held on  18th and 19th of March and put it forward to the management. The idea was received with great enthusiasm and Mrs Indu Khandelwal, the Vice Chairperson herself came forward with a variety of ideas. The 18th day of March, 2011 dawned bright and clear and the spring camp was inaugurated by the Principal, Mr. T. Premkumar with a welcome address and the lighting of the lamp.  Twenty two students who had enrolled for the camp were all set for the organizers to take them for their field trip as per the schedule planned after the first session on Yoga and a sumptuous breakfast.  The visit to the museum, Taraq Rajab and then the cool beach with the swish of water  was captivating.  The tapping of the feet and the swaying of the body to the music in the aerobic classes was a sight to behold. Ms. Uma’s session on tongue twisters was a treat to all.

The personality development session  by the Vice Principal Mrs. Shaila Naik, on GOOD MANNERS was the icing on the cake. The students were taught how to behave in a congenial atmosphere and the lesson learnt would remain ever green.  The students were asked to improvise various situations given and the manners were demonstrated through small skits presented by students impromptu.  The warmth radiated from the camp fire ignited the spirit of zeal, inspiring students to exhibit their innate talents.

Every child should be able to defend himself/herself. The Tae-kwon-do martial art session for the Bhavanites did wonders.  Master Balraj Kadyan, Dan 5,who had gracefully accepted our invitation to introduce this art to the students, deserves all  admiration bestowed upon him. The art and craft, dramatics, embroidery, calligraphy, video viewing, tongue twisters , computer activity and what not ? The camp offered a plethora of activities.  The culmination of the camp was the talent hunt and the fashion show. The students were served mouth watering and healthy food . They sat together to eat and to appreciate the blessings of God.  The parents were invited to witness a stage show prepared during these two days and assess the outcome of the camp. Some parents expressed their satisfaction and appreciated the efforts of the camp on the stage. Students exhibited their newly acquired poise and self awareness that the camp was all about. They gave their feedback boldly on the stage and bid a heavy adieu to the teachers before they were picked up by the school transport. Our sincere thanks to SKECHERS and CENTRE POINT for their gift vouchers and the gift hampers.
