Summer Sparkle 2012 comes to a close

Dear Parents,   We come to the end of our summer workshops. Summer sparkle 2012 was well attended and I thank the mentors for doing such a fabulous job.   Our science club saw fanatstic participation and I am particulalry thrilled to hear feedback from parents that some of the children have asked for small science kits as gifts for the vacation. Nothing measures the success of a workshop more than this! (My only regret being we got so carried away with the experiments we forgot to take any pictures of the sessions in progress!!)   MCrafty Hands, our craft workshop was fun and filled with colour. Cut, glue, paste, paint, mould....we did it all. Some pictures are available ,on our Facebook page. Do take a look on http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Gulmohar-Days/111030148911956   Our Potpourrie workshop was action packed!! We covered an amazing number of topics in 2 weeks. From facts on the solar system, phases of the moon, to ocean life, group games and quizzes to keep the team work going, followed by some delicious sandwich making, water play as we explored why some things float and others sink, and a little peek into how the digestive system works. How can we forget our little sniff and smell indian spices session! And a little volcano eruption that had the kids enthralled! The children were an absolute delight and I hope they enjoyed themselves too! A handful of pictures available on our Facebook page, do take a look!  ( http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Gulmohar-Days/111030148911956)   Please do stay in touch via our blog and our Facebook Page. Simply "Like" our facebook page and all our updates regarding new actvities, clubs and events will keep reaching you! Gulmohar Days will remain closed this month. Our school office will reopen on the 5th of June 2012. Have a great vacation!
