Storytime
For last Saturday’s story time, we chose a wonderful book about the sustainable relationship between human beings and the environment. The tale ‘Bumoni’s banana tree’ is set on the outskirts of a National Park in rural Assam. Bumoni and her family have a big backyard full of banana trees. They make full use of the banana trees for making food items and a lot more. One night, a herd of elephants crosses the river and gorges on the bananas and tramples the trees. Bumoni and her family manage to chase away the wild elephants, but Bumoni is worried about the elephants. Finally, she comes up with a great idea that allows the elephants to have their feast without destroying any crops.
Even though the children felt sorry for the elephants, they were delighted that the elephants could have their feast in their own homes. It is important for the next generation to understand and appreciate the need to resolve human-animal conflicts with empathy and coexist in harmony. The children discussed the different snacks that are made from bananas and what their favorites are. For the craft session, we made paper elephants and the kids were eager to name their elephants.
Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library ‘s Summer Camp Programme for 2023
Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library ‘s summer camp programme for 2023 began in the final week of March and wrapped up on the 25th of May. The beauty of our summer camp was that we got to meet a lot of young kids with diverse interests and dislikes who were all brought together as a group, making these three months more than simply a summer camp session but also a blend of friendship, love, sharing, and caring that made us all feel like a “family.” There were times when students cheered and clapped for their buddies and gave them methods and ideas to help them win the game. Despite minor disagreements over games, they are the best buddies in the room. One of the events where we could all connect with our ideas and feelings via stories was our story club session. We could see their expressions alter as the tempo of the narrative changed, and the background music played an important role in establishing an environment that made the kids feel like they were truly within the story. They discussed their feelings, ideals, and the effects of the characters on the plot. The children also adorned the story club with their art and craft projects, making it more exciting and realistic. Also, following the story club, they were racing to the book section of our library to be the first to get the next series of the book featured in our story club, and we believe that our camp session has impacted kids to consider reading as one of their favourite hobbies. We feel that our summer camp session benefited the kids in discovering what they want to do and enjoy the most by establishing memories and making a lot of friends, and we are grateful to know that we were a part of some of their enjoyable moments that they will remember for a long time
Internship Stories
When it comes to our April Summer Camp, the significance of our intern Nandini, a 13-year-old talented young lady, cannot be overstated. She has demonstrated her abilities in every stage of our camp, from storyteller to event coordinator, and her enthusiastic attitude has inspired so many young minds in our library throughout the camp sessions. Here is Nandini’s experience with Schoolkutti. com Children’s Library as an intern;

– Nandini
My summer camp internship at Schoolkutti library has been a wonderful journey! It was my first ever work experience and Schoolkutti was the best place for it. The staff are like family and everyone is so kind and fun! I really enjoyed helping with the crafts and games, and taking storytelling sessions for the juniors. The best part of the internship, for me, was helping people find books and recommending some according to their likings. I hope that my suggestions helped people to discover books that they connect to.
I found that you get to know kids even better as an intern than if you were part of the summer camp.
This summer camp was awesome for all of the participants! Some of the kids met as strangers and parted as the best of friends! This summer has so many precious memories. We will all remember it forever.
Thank you, Seema aunty, for this amazing opportunity 😍!

Hello schoolkutti family! I’m Nandini’s (the famous intern 😁) amma, Priya. I’d like to thank the schoolkutti team for giving Nandini the opportunity to work in a safe space, to understand work ethics, and to realise for herself what she is capable of. She learned a lot this past month, helping the summer camp kids with their crafts, reading stories to the little ones occasionally, giving book suggestions to library members who asked for advice and so much more. I’m deeply grateful for this chance that you gave her. Special thanks to Seema and the wonderful schoolkutti staff who took Nandini under their loving wings and taught her to fly! We love you all to the moon and back! ❤️

Storytime – Winnie the Witch
Last Saturday’s story session was all about magic and a lot of fun. Winnie, the Witch, had a series of trouble since her house and pet cat was both black. As a result, she decided to alter the cat’s colour to green, and then to a blend of other shades, which made her beloved cat seem bizarre and made him unhappy. Because Winnie adored her cat, she desired to restore the cat’s black colour and modify the colour of her home. The kids stated that Winnie could have done this sooner and avoided the problems since she is a brilliant witch after all. Maybe she enjoyed her black house so much, but she eventually realized that her love for her cat outweighed her love for the black house. We chose to play line game as our language game and made spider webs for crafts, and painted various spiders on them.
Storytime
The previous Saturday’s story time was about Buddy, a new dog in town who wants to make friends. So, he began to befriend a few animals, beginning with a mouse and moving to cats, rabbits, and even a dog of his breed. But none of them appeared welcoming, which made our Buddy unhappy. He afterward decided, with the assistance of a fox, to ask these animals why they don’t want to be friends with him. They were all afraid Buddy might attack them, which is why they were hostile. The children enjoyed the story and agreed that Buddy should have asked this question before becoming unhappy. They also mentioned that they initially found a new kid rude but eventually became excellent friends at school. As a language game, we played charades, and for crafts, we made origami dogs.
Story Time
Last Saturday’s story time was all about exploits with Pirate Captain and Pirate Dinosaurs. Flinn, a courageous and fearless little lad, and his companions decided to assist the Pirate Captain who had lost his favorite ship, The Acorn. However, they subsequently discovered that the ship had not only gone missing but had been seized by nasty pirate dinosaurs. The battle between Captain Flinn and the Pirate Tyrannosaurus Rex was fascinating and interesting for the kids. When Captain Flinn won the fight with the Pirate Dinosaur, their eyes shone with delight as they rushed out of their chairs and lifted their hands in the air, holding a sword in triumph. We played “guess the word in the air” and a line game for the language game. We created pirate caps for the crafts, and we all ended up becoming pirates.
