Craft Workshop for Republic Day, Secondary Section (2020-21), WIS, PB

 Open your Wings to Fly (Craft Workshop)

26th January - "Republic Day" is an auspicious day for every Indian. It honours the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India, thus turning the nation into a newly formed Republic.

To rejoice the glory of the nation and not to forget to thank the soldiers, Witty International School, Pawan Baug, Malad (West) Grade VI (IGCSE & ICSE) students participated in a Craft workshop on 16th January 2021. "Open your Wings to Fly" reflected the theme of a Constitution that breathes life into our existence as a Republic.

Mr. Sushant Panchal, an art educator engaged his students with his spectacular art, and made their day special by teaching them how to make a tricolour bird. His simplified steps and incessant help made the students come up with the most artistic and expressive birds. This art can be related to ‘milestones’ for the students as they learnt why this day is special, why it has been declared as a national holiday, why we celebrate it.

As said by Benjamin Franklin – “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” So there is no better way to teach the students but to involve them.

Workshop on Confectionery, Secondary Section (2020-21), WIS, PB

 ‘THE PERFECT BAKER’

Whenever we talk about a birthday party or any such celebration, the first thing that clicks our minds is ‘CAKE’. Every child has a special sweet tooth for cakes! Cakes filled up with loads of rich chocolate, Choco chips, whipped cream and icing is their all-time favorite. Truly scrumptious!

As part of our endeavor to expose our students to a variety of activities, the school had organized an online, interesting workshop on Confectionery by an enterprising guest, Ms. Tejal Gada. It was a two hour workshop for grade 7 on Saturday, 16th January 2021. Students were informed about the ingredients and other requirements in advance. Mrs. Gada demonstrated two lip-smacking desserts- No bake Chocolate Cake and Cookie dough truffles. Along with the procedure, tips about kitchen hygiene were explained to the young chefs. The energetic entrepreneur also paid special attention to Dessert Presentation and Plating Desserts. The activity was learning through fun.

The passion and zeal for baking made the students actively take part in the workshop. The workshop had a positive atmosphere and it was an absolute pleasure to watch kids who shared the same passion.  Mrs. Gada patiently answered all the interesting questions that came from the students. The smile on everyone’s face made all the hard work that went into the workshop worth it.  What a lovely hands-on experience!! The workshop was super fun and the cakes were even more yumm.
