GANIT WEEK

ORIGAMI

Origami is a Japanese word which means ’Paper folding’. It is a craft that all ages enjoy doing . By this technique one can create objects and shapes on paper by folding without using scissors or glue.

This is taught in schools from lower classes because young children can learn about basic concepts in Mathematics like lines, planes, shapes ,and their relationships.

During GANIT week celebration, the origami competition was held on the 22nd of December 2014 , for class VI. The event turned out to be a massive success. There were many entries from children and each origami done by them had significant meaning.

A few of the students also came dressed as Swami Vivekananda and spoke a few words about the ideas he propagated. It enabled the children to gain knowledge and exposed them to new ideas and thought processes. The exhibition was viewed by the students of other classes as well as the parents. The event was coordinated by Mrs. Savithri and Mrs. Uma Maheswari of the Social Science Department. The program helped propagate ideas of universal religion, secularity and peace. It helped the students look beyond social classifications and allowed them to get a holistic view of diversity in community.

Everyone including the Chief Guest, parents and fellow students were thrilled to view the exhibition and were amazed by the efforts of their fellow comrades. The interactions aroused patriotic feelings in the young students. On the whole, the day was fun-packed, colourful and memorable.
