We absolutely enjoy what we do on saturday mornings at the library – stories, songs and games with the bubbly little ones. This saturday we kicked off our ‘Word Play’ session with a cute little story – ‘in Where’s That Cat’ by Manjula Padmanabhan. It is one of those books that makes your smile grow bigger as you move from page to page savoring the delightful illustrations. All the kids joined Minnie in her search for Pooni- it was such fun trying to spot that naughty cat in each page.

The essay writing workshop held at Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library on June 2 was a very inspiring and interesting way to guide students towards writing effective essays. The fun games and quizzes, brain storming activities, writing tips and guidelines were presented by Ms. Geethu, first prize winner in the essay writing competition conducted by Competition Success Review, a leading magazine for civil service preparations.

The highlights of the program were as follows.

* 6 stages of writing an essay
* Pen down ideas through mind mapping
* Write and pronounce well through vocab works
* Spirit of teamwork through games
* Develop quick logical thinking

The session also encouraged students to reflect upon their writing habits and practice more. Children left with an enhanced ability to create well structured essays and the confidence to project their inner voice.
