Besides the Art and Craft Activity which is conducted as part of the School Curriculum the students of Grade I to III celebrated Craft Day on April 18, 2003.

These hands-on activities are encouraged in order to nurture finger skills and develop proficiency in fine motor movements. They also imbibe in them an appreciation of colour, texture and aesthetics in general.

Little children of Grade I prepared cards which involved cutting and pasting. Giving them ample scope for creativity and imaginative free play. They cut thin kite paper into abstract shapes and pasted them on handmade sheets folded to form cards. These have been displayed prominently in their classrooms giving them a sense of pride in their achievement.

Students of Grade II made enchanting Headgears. The boys made feathers with coloured paper and straw and embellished their hats where as girls made beautiful conical hats decorated with flowers and beads. Seeing the boys with their hats on it sure felt like a horde of Red Indians had infiltrated into the School.

Boys and girls of Grade III were assigned a task of greater dexterity. They learnt and prepared roses with coloured fabric. The joy of creation merged with the thrill of novelty kept the little ones completely engrossed for over an hour.
