They spoke with great clarity and confidence.

The charts were well prepared and were self-explanatory. 

In all it was a very interesting G.A. put up by the students of Std 1 for their classmates.

The new students of all the sections of class I had an opportunity to introduce themselves to the other children.

They came on stage, spoke about their previous school and the place they came from.

We had few children who came from different cities and few from different countries.

Every child spoke about his/her favourite hobby.

Some sang songs and a few chanted slokas that they learnt after joining our institution.

It was a wonderful way to begin the day!

Within a matter of 5 minutes he exhibited the making of a dove, a rose and a tricolour pole.

The young students were amazed at the creation that happened in front of their eyes.

We are sure many of them would have gone home and tried to recreate the magic!
