Fun activities mark literary fiesta

<p>Literature opens the door to discovering something extraordinarily imaginative and allows one to visualise things in a different perspective. In order to bring the students closer to literature and its universal appeal, the management of Delhi Public School Medchal Highway organised a Literary Week for consecutive five days with various competitions. The aim was to create an understanding and awareness about the importance of reading among the students. <br /> It was a week of excitement with the children engaged in various competitions. The students were given a platform to hone their skills and foster the reading habits. A series of activities were organised across PP1 to class IX. The students were asked to prepare charts based on the life of great poets, novelists, essayists, playwrights and make illustrations of some famous works.<br /> The Literary Week began with 'In The Character' competition, where tiny tots took up the roles of their favourite fictional characters like Harry Porter, Hungry Caterpillar, Goldilocks, Snow White and Cinderella. Each competitor had to deliver a few lines that the character would have spoken.<br /> A number of competitions were conducted for the students of the primary segment. The students of classes III and IV participated in storytelling with props. The competition gave wings to the students&rsquo; imagination where the characters from books came alive through their narration. It was a medley of scintillating performances and artistic props.<br /> Using a puppet to tell a story was a wonderful technique that led the students of class I and II to discover the joy of literature and learning. Another event for the primary wing was poem recitation.<br /> The confidence and wit of the students from classes VI to IX were tested during the Mad Ads competition. This competition helped students to think on their feet and act without any hesitation. The sarcastic humour brought out their creativity through the madness and also familiarised&nbsp; them with the skills of presentation and marketing.<br /> The Battle of Wills can only be won through facts, research, wit and confidence. A debate was held for the students of classes VI to IX to help them put forward their points confidently. The students also got an opportunity to think critically, develop their academic research skills and improve their communication abilities.<br /> The week came to an end with a scintillating performance by the students of class IX. The students enthralled the audience by bringing the tragic heroes Macbeth, Romeo and Hamlet alive through Shakespeare's soliloquies.<br /> <br /> Manjari Ghosh, <br /> Delhi Public School Medchal Highway</p>

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN).
