Santa Claus Letter

Dear Santa Claus,
i dont know whether you exist.But my heart insists that you are there.i am extremely despondent as my parents are not ready to give me a present. Could you make my wish come true?
I just merely want a play station 2.But my parents are not willing me to buy it because i would get addicted to it and I would not concentrate on my study but i dont think i would be addicted to it.I promise you that I would study 2 hours a day i would like this gift very much because it makes me fresh and get some entertainment. Actually in my leisure time I would feel sick by watching t.v.every day.i would be exhilarated and astounded if you gifted it to me or convince my parents to do so on Christmas eve.
if you think that my wish is wrong then send me a letter with a reason.If you gift it to me then I would really believe in god.Please reply fast as i am very eager to see my gift.

Wednesday Batches

Vapi Public School Visit

On the 1st of July, I visited the Vapi Public School for a creative writing session. I was received with much enthusiasm from the teachers and the students alike. The buzz in the air had me geared up and excited for the session.

The kids were keen on learning new things today. We discussed about the enhancement of basic vocabulary and penning down your thoughts. It was fantastic to watch kids come up with brilliant imaginative ideas which leaves us gaping with wonder.

I would like to thank the children for sharing this wonderful experience with me. Interacting with the teachers and the principal was rewarding.

Autobiography of an Umbrella

Autobiography of an umbrella
I am a raincoat. In my life of three rainy seasons , I have gone through a number of experiences of which majority are pleased ones. Now I’ve become old and am not much of use but I am satisfied with my journey and spend my time recalling my memories with pleasure.
I was made in a factory in Ahemdabad. I am made of plastic. I have many beautiful and colorful designs and I have a cap too. I was packed to dispatched to a big shop. There were thousands of umbrella’s, raincoat’s, windsheater’s etc. I was the best raincoat in the whole shop. We were displayed in glass windows. One day we were taken to World Trade Center for an exhibition. Everyone was eager as that exhibition would come after every four years. Over there we were kept in a shop which was on first floor. There were lakh’s of people who came to see the exhibition. One boy came and stopped at our shop. He had come along with his mother and wanted to buy a raincoat. His eyes fell on me, I looked so magnificent that he decided to buy me. His mother checked the size and I was perfect for him. His mother paid and took me home. His eyes were shining with joy and excitement. He wore me and stood in front of the mirror and started seeing me how I looked. He packed me carefully in his school bag with other books. The next day he took me to his school. That day it rained heavily and he took me out of his school bag and wore me. I got wet but did not allow him to get wet. Three weeks passed like this and we had fun with each other. One day he forgot me in the school and the cleaner saw me and took me to his home and gave me to his son. The cleaner’s son took me out to play. He was climbing a tree where got stuck and Now I am lying in the gutter tattered and no one wants me as I am waiting for my last breathe to go by.

The Tuesday 4:00 Batch

The kids seemed to be in absolute no mood to study today. I will be surprised if they ever are. However, today, Shainee joined us and we discussed two Sherlock Holmes adventures- The Blue Carbuncle and The Speckled Band. The kids enjoyed it.

An encounter with a ferocious animal

'Eeks! A scorpion!!' I exclaimed.Such a terrible creature.I shreiked with horror.
Last Sunday was the most horrid day of my life.The most ferocious creature, the scorpion was crawling on my leg. I was out of my wits.As it crawled on my leg,beads of sweat formed on my brow.
I had gone to my buildings garden.As i dug to put a seed in the soil,a scorpion came out from there! It landed straight on my leg.I screamed in horror.The ferocious creature was having a gala time exploring my leg.But I was having the worst time I had ever had in my life.My legs shook like jelly.The scorpion made my flesh creep.It started crawling even faster.I took a spade and banged it on the scorpion..Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!That was a foolish thing to do.But atleast I got rid of that wierd creature got off my leg.My leg was bleeding because of the spade.I killed it with the spade.I started dancing but i remembered that I should take care of my wound.
this day was the most terrible day of my life.I will remember it for the rest of my life.

The Class *fun* Room

On the 17th of June (finally!) the classroom was fully furnished and ready. There are 8 desks to seat 8 children accompanied with some breathing space. The Wednesday morning batch seemed really lucky to be the first ones to sit in this room. We hope they liked it! Pictures of the classroom coming up soon!

The First Word

The year started with a big *bang* as our classes kicked in on the 14th of June, 2010. The first thing we started with was a little discussion about the summer vacations. And the stories we got to hear!! They were stupendous. So the kids decided to start with an essay on summer vacations.
They started with a little dialogue either spoken by the teacher, announcing the start of fun-time or with the clapping of hands in excitement upon the fact that they were going to Singapore/Malaysia/Australia.
The kids have written so wonderfully that we teacher's do not feel the need to visit these places having them witnessed through the eyes of the children. We hope they keep up the good work!
Keep visiting for more :)
