THE HAUNTED HOUSE-SAISHA SINGH
HEROIC HENDRICK’S ROLLER COASTER ADVENTURES-SATYAKAM JETHWANI
My story’s genre is adventure. I
was inspired by famous five. My story’s title is heroic Hendricks’s roller
coaster adventure. It has five chapters. He has a time machine and say-it-to-go
plane. The 1st chapter is about when I went to the titanic and saved
it from drowning by pulling the 38th latch so water couldn’t flood. The 2nd one is about when I went to
the future and saved a sky scraper from falling. in the 3rd chapter
I went to another galaxy where it was really strange and I told the King that I
would bring servants from the earth. In the 4th chapter I go to Egypt
and find a mummy and capture a world famous thief. In the 5th
chapter I find a magic racket and it helps me win a grand slam. These are my
adventures.

BOOK LAUNCH
The
importance of artistic and creative development is something that can be
encouraged at a young age. 3rd
Graders had a grand BOOK LAUNCH on Friday, 2nd November. These books
were written by the students themselves as a summative ending to their unit of
inquiry under the Transdisciplinary Theme ‘How we express ourselves’. The day
started with a session by a renowned children’s author, Ms Sonali Pota wherein
she interacted with them and narrated a story written by her under the genre of
mythology. Students were bubbling with energy and their enthusiasm knew no
bounds. The official Book Release was done by the School director, Dr Naidu.
Students loved to talk about books! What a lovely way
to support and encourage kids' love for reading by giving them an opportunity
to connect, on a personal level, with the books they wrote and then share their
ideas, thoughts, and opinions with family members, friends, and teachers.
What
confidence they exhibited during the whole process. Opportunity was given to
them where the children’s creative juices were allowed to run wild and
unhindered, which helped them develop and strengthen their written and verbal
skills.
We
have many budding writers and poets in the making!! We should nurture and
foster creativity in children as creative writing and being imaginative as it
plays an important role in one’s ability to communicate.
TRICK-O-TREAT
With the temperatures cooling down and the days
getting dry, there is no doubt that Halloween is right around the corner. Students
were very excited to dress up in their Halloween costumes and had a parade in
the Amphitheatre. With everything from little brothers who are more
monstrous than normal, to vampires with dental issues, to witches with a talent
for baking, there was something to appeal to every little ghost or goblin.

JUMBLE STORY
Students
were divided in groups of 3. They had to choose four numbers (from 1 to 10).
Each number corresponded to an item on the list. The first number was the
character their stories are to be focussed on, the second number was the setting for
their stories, the third was time and the last was challenge. Students had to write
a story with the character, setting, time period, and situation that they had
chosen. The character that they chose was the main character in the story, but necessarily
not the ONLY character in the story. Likewise, most of the story had to take
place in the setting that they chose. The situation or challenge that they had chosen
had to involve the main character or the main character may observe someone
else who dealt with the situation or challenge.
The stories tat they had written were simply awesome:) all of it gives me complex as I cannot even imagine myself being such prolific writer at such an age.
