Our Early Years 1, 2, and 3 learners had a wonderful experience as they welcomed author Ms. Sowmya Rajendran to our campus. Through a lively and interactive session, Ms. Sowmya introduced her book ‘Shampoo Day’ and invited our young readers to share their favorite shampoo fragrances to build a personal connection with the story.
From listening with wide-eyed curiosity to illustrating their own unique "shampoo moments," our learners brought the book to life with incredible enthusiasm. We love seeing our students find joy in storytelling and making connections to their own everyday experiences. Thank you, Ms. Sowmya, for empowering our little linguists!

Our Grade 5 learners recently embarked on a literary adventure with author Ms Ilika Ranjan. While exploring the premise of her book, ‘The Secrets of Zynpagua’, our students were challenged to brainstorm a range of keywords and weave them into a collaborative narrative.
The excitement in the room was palpable as the students took the lead to complete the story with their own unique endings. This interactive session was a powerful way to empower our young authors to unpack the skills needed for world-building and character development. We love seeing our students let their imaginations unfold on the page!
