Author Reading Event: Vikram Sarabhai – The Space Man
Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library had the privilege of receiving Shailaja Nair, author of the children’s book “Vikram Sarabhai: The Space Man” on 13th August. It was a pleasure for all the participants to interact with the author and listen to her narrate the story of Vikram Sarabhai on the occasion of his 103rd birth anniversary. The author provided an incredible insight on the visionary that Dr. Sarabhai was and how much what we have today is a result of his genius and untiring efforts.
The children were bursting with questions that they wanted her to answer.
The number of questions asked was a testimony to the excitement and eagerness of the students. The curiosity and thought process behind the questions delighted the author.
Storytime – Granny’s Saree
For Saturday’s story session, we chose a simple, yet heartwarming story “Granny’s Sari” written by Asha Nehemiah. It tells about the journey of a granny and her granddaughter in search of a sari which was blown away by the wind. Eventually they do find the sari but not in the way they expected to. They met many persons who have used the sari to their advantage and finally it became clothes for 3 children of poor fisherwoman. This story teaches kids the value of giving and sharing. Kids liked the story and they shared their experience on sharing their lunch, snacks and pencils with their friends.
Sharing is when you become selfless and help others and find joy in it.
HOG Speech & Drama
No other programmes offer the lasting benefits than Helen o’ Grady. This drama class gives children lots of opportunity to develop confidence in communication. This helps to improvise with speech throughout the lesson and encourage the students to explore what they can do with language. Speech training is a specific part of the lesson dedicated to helping the students to develop clear speech.
Storytime
For Saturday storytime, we chose a unique book that delivers an eco-friendly message – “A Cloud of Trash” written by Karanjeet Kaur tells the story of a little girl Cheekoo and the mystery behind the trash cloud that hang over her head. Is there a better way to educate children about the negligence in the way we handle our trash that might actually cause clouds of trash to attack us some day. Kids enjoyed the story and pledged that they would never litter and would ensure that the garbage goes into the garbage bins. Can you guess what was the creative craft activity for the children after the storytime? Paper dustbins, of course 🙂
Helen O’Grady’s Speech & Drama
Helen O’Grady’s drama classes in progress at our library. These sessions help children help children relate better to different situations, context and even cultures.
Dramatic play encourages children to put themselves in someone else’s shoes. Such role-playing helps them to improve their ability to do this in real life. They learn important social skills, such as empathy – the ability to view the world from another person’s perspective without judgement.
Helen O’Grady Speech & Drama
Helen O’Grady drama offers a series of drama classes that help with confidence building and resilience for children and young adults. Drama develops communication skills by bringing out their inner voices and through interactive activities. Cheers to this giggling, goofy batch of talented children having fun at Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library!
HelenO’Grady Speech & Drama
Fun and inspiring drama classes by HelenO’Grady International in progress at Schoolkutti. Lovely to see the children growing in confidence, building new friendships and having a great time. Skills that are learned studying drama with Helen O’Grady Drama Academy are invaluable in later life.
Scrabble Time
Scrabble is a great mind game for kids to build their vocabulary skills. Schoolkutti.com conducted a Scrabble Workshop last week for 9 to 12 year olds. Our budding word-builders had great fun looking up new words, challenging their peers and playing around with words and letters. We had lots of positive feedback from students who attended our last batch.
Our next batch will start in June. Thank you for your support.

Drawing in inspiration from the Father of our Nation
Gandhiji’s story has always inspired people, it was no different this time when Schoolkutti.com conducted the Republic Day Reading Circle program on 25th January. Children enjoyed the book ‘I am Gandhi’ and actively participated in the imaginative discussion that followed.
No child should be ignorant of our struggle for Independence, this was a book that provided food for thought and sparked some interesting questions. How much the children had soaked up ideas from the book was clear during the quiz session – they could answer most of the questions; they definitely made us proud.
