Hi everyone,

We have had a fabulous April with all our workshops running full and the kids thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Looking to close enrollments for the Art workshop called Timeless Tales to be held in May as part of Summer Sparkle 2011. Please find details below:

Workshop: Timeless Tales ( Art Workshop)

Description: A unique workshop that combines art techniques with a reading of classics by Hans Christian Anderson and Oscar Wilde. The reading of each story would be followed by a session that requires each child to come up with with a piece of art using mixed media. Collage techniques, painting, gluing etc will be taught and encouraged. Each Child will therefore have 2 complete artworks to take home at the end of the 4 day workshop.

Dates: May 16, 17, 18, 19

Timings: 2.30 pm to 6.30 pm

Material such as paints, paper, glue etc would be provided.. Would be great if the kids could bring in their own brushes.

Last Date to register: Enrollments close this Saturday, the 23rd of April. We can accommodate only a total of 12 kids in the group. Please send us an email on gulmohardays@gmail.com or call us on 9890530248 to register.

Hi everyone,

Looking forward to a month of hectic activity at Gulmohar Days!

Couple of reminders to all parents:

1. Every child must bring in their own bottle of drinking water. Please label the bottles to avoid any mix-up. Almost everyone seems to have a barbie, dora or ben-ten bottle!!!

2. Kids who have signed up for the Craft and Eureka: Science and Gk workshop may bring along a snack. Pls do keep the snack simple…biscuits, sandwiches, fruit and the like. Either label the lunch box or the bag in which they carry their water and lunch.

3. Children who have signed up for the Fun and Fitness class must wear comfortable clothes. No jeans allowed. Track pants, T shirts would be ideal. Also carry along a Yoga Mat. Important: pls do not snack or eat heavy before the yoga class.

4. All kids in the Scrabble Club must carry a pencil box with essentials like pencils, eraser etc.

5. Small request to mommies who have little girls who love to dress up. Please avoid fancy hair bands, clips, bracelets, belts etc. They not only distract the kids from the session, but so many of them leave them behind, accidentally lose them or they might break….we have to use every trick in the book to console the kids and wipe away those tears!

6. For our younger kids, pls ensure they wear clothes that they can handle if they should use the toilet. Simple tracks, shorts, skirts and frocks work best. Anything with a zillion zips, stubborn buttons and tight belt must be avoided!!

7. Kids who have signed up for free play and will spend more than one hour at the centre may carry a snack along.

8. All kids who have signed up for the Dance & drama workshop need to bring only their enthusiasm along!! This workshop promises to be a great musical!

We are looking forward to some fun sessions this summer! See you all in the coming weeks!

The Holi Party for the kids of our Story Club was an absolute success! We started with the legend of the demon Holika and how she was vanquished. And boy did we celebrate the victory of good over evil!! The kids had come armed with their water guns….all colours, shapes, sizes. At the end of it all we were one happy bunch, drenched to the skin but with huge smiles plastered on our faces!!
Enjoy the pictures!

Our scrabble contest went wonderfully well…….thanks to all the enthusiastic participation from kids aged 8 to 15 years!

The final match in both categories was well fought and a close finish. Hearty congratulations to all the winners. Gift vouchers were awarded to the first and second prize winners and all participants received certificates in addition to being gifted a 2 month free subscription to the Gulmohar Days Library!

Thank you to our teachers Ranji and Nisha for conducting the contest so smoothly!

Well done kids and hope to see you all use the library and become avid readers in the next few weeks! 🙂

Here are some pictures that capture all the action!
