Pune and earlier, Goa skies came alive with the display of colour-ful kites at Sakal Media Group’s

International Super Kite Festival held at International Exhibition Arena in Moshi.

Puneites, especially children, gath-ered in large numbers to witness the kite flying skill of 41 international and seven Indian kite flyers. From Ganapati Bappa to Goddess Durga to Jamaican pop star Bob Marley to sting rays and whales and more such amazing sil-houettes — the colourful kites danced in the open space and dotted the dull, cloud sky, leaving the audience spell-bound.

The children were thrilled with trilobite, a colourful kite,

another favourite was teddy bear. A few kids

also got a chance to fly kites with the fliers. They couldn’t handle

the heavy kites but surely helped in putting the kite

up. Also sending the chil-dren, in the crowds, tizzy were Ben 10 and Roll No 21 — popular charac-ters from the Cartoon Network.

All in all it was a great day for the kite enthusiasts!

Birds in theThe International Super Kite Festival held in Moshi (Pune) and earlier in Goa was an awesome affair. Forty-one international and seven Indian kite flyers let their kites take to the skies, mesmerizing one and all, says Meeta Ramnani

origamiThe art of folding paper deftly — ori means folding and

kami means paper — is called origami. A Japanese art, it usually transforms a flat piece of paper into a sculpture — paper toys, animals, birds. It’s an art and requires certain amount of concentration and skilled fingers. Once you learn to concentrate, origami will be easy! Try it!

those living in pune and in vicinity of tilak Road, pune, might have seen the dome-shaped structure — a recently renovated observatory. it’s certainly worth a visit! originally, an observatory was meant to observe terrestrial or celestial events. now its scope has widened to study disciplines like astronomy, climatology/meteorology, geology, oceanography and volcanology.

ornithology

Bet, you have gone on bird watching trails, or on treks, armed with binoculars hoping to spot a bright plumage. Some of you have been lucky because the birds were pointed out and described by the expert accompanying the group. The expert is called an ornithologist — someone who has studied the bird science.

This is certainly not a new science. Early written records provide valuable information on the past distribution of species. For instance, the Vedas demonstrate the careful observation of avian life histories. Like writing, the early art of China, Japan, Persia and India also demonstrate knowledge, with examples of scientifically accurate bird illustrations. Cool, right?

oxford university

The old gentry often stake claim to having studied at one of the prestigious address in the world of academics — Oxford University. The City University, called so because it does not have a main campus, has no clear foundation date. Teaching at Oxford existed in some form in 1096, but it is unclear at what point a university came into being. The university was granted a royal charter in 1248 during the reign of King Henry III.

Sometime in the 13 century, arguments broke out between the students and townsfolk. Some of the academics left the university and went to another town, Cambridge and they established the Cambridge University. Collectively, it’s called Oxbridge!

Author Arundhati Venkatesh started her session, Monsterlicious Masti with Bookasura by reading her book. At the

end of the reading, she was bombarded with more monsters named Bakasura, Marasura, and Venomsura etc.

The audience, comprising 6 to 8 year olds, was amazed to see her first prop —car-toons of three monsters. They stood up in excitement, and took a long time in settling down. After telling them the story, Arundha-ti asked them to draw their own monsters and the children came up with one-eyed monsters, 10-legged monsters, fat mon-sters and big-mouthed monsters!

After the session, Arundhati said, “None of the children were scared of monsters! I was amazed to hear the names chil-dren gave to their drawings. The children were not content drawing one monster, they also drew a friend!”

The children also wove stories around the monsters that they drew. After the session ended, children ran towards their parents to show them the drawings and repeated the stories they had heard.

On Sunday, Arundhati took the children on a tour with Petu Pumpkin and his tooth troubles.

StorieS come aliVe

The story of a little boy or girl with a loving father, an evil step-mother, and an aunt who is a witch and eats little children has been heard

by every generation. Yet it is still listened to with great anticipation. There’s satisfaction when the good triumphs over evil.

Enacting the story of Natasha, a girl who has an evil step-mother and a witch for an aunt, story-teller, Paarvathi Om, slipped completely into the character of the girl and her family members. She ran, rolled her hands (to show that the witch was stirring the boiling water), and she went cheep..cheep when Natasha saved a bird!

Her enactment enthralled the kids so much that their mouths were hanging open at the end of it! Paarvathi said, “This was the story that my mother used to tell me and I am really happy the children enjoyed it.” A perfect example that stories are never redun-dant. Share them and enjoy them!

I attended Paarvathi om’s session on Saturday too. I liked natasha’s story. the step-mother was really bad and even the witch aunt.

ideaS tick away

Four teens trapped in a car, a bomb ticking away and thieves on their trail—- this story certainly sounds incongruous to be discussed at a festival of children’s literature. But such a possibility drew

very sharp and funny responses from the chil-dren. On the second and last day of the Sakal Times Bookaroo Festival, fifty kids attended Ketaki Karnik’s Crime Busters League session.

Writer of the series, Karnik posed a scenario where the protagonists are trapped in a car and invited suggestions from the kids on ‘what

happens next?’. One child piped up, “Varun and Raima asked to go the toilet and they es-caped from there.” Another one added, “They will call the thief near the car, open the door which will smash into the thief’s nose. He will cry in pain, and the children can push him and run into the forest.”

Brainstorming over the scene taught chil-dren one writing device that they can make use of — distraction! A lively session which highlighted that detective and mystery series are a great draw among teenagers.

Rashi Shah had visited the for-ests of Panchavati just once. But the memory of it was refreshed when the Std IV stu-dent narrated it to a round of

applause from 50 kids who attended the session, ‘Deep Dark Forest’.

The session conducted by Pune-based writer Leela Gour Broome encouraged the audience to share their experiences when they went

on a jungle safari or visited wildlife sanctu-aries. “During my visit, I remember feeding fish in

the pond. The fish were completely harmless. Also, during our trip, I saw peacocks dance and I managed to collect peacock feathers,” said Rashi.

Broome also read out excerpts from her book, Flute in the Forest. She introduced them to the elephant Rangappa, who lives in the jungles in the southern part of the country. While telling them the story, Broome also subtly brought to notice of the kids that it was not advisable to litter the forest that is home to animals and birds.

Lavanya Karthik illustrator of books like,The Chicken that Started it All, conducted three sessions at Sakal Times Bookaroo, the Festival of Children’s Literature. At the the Doodle Wall, she encouraged children to draw big. She also conducted another session for older kids, on creating comics. She talked to Ambika Shaligram on the art of drawing, illustrating and what it means for kids

When the big-moustached character Muchchad and the smart monkey named Ali came together, the stage was perfectly set for

the session conducted by popular film-maker and author of children’s book When Ali became Bajarangbali, by Devashish Makhija.

When the monkey character called Ali, performed by Ashish Bhat, part-nered with actor Raj Shekhar, acting as Muchchad, they enthralled the 50-odd children. While author Makhija nar-rated the story, the duo left everybody in the audience spellbound. “Though we could do only one rehearsal session, the response from today’s audience was immense and the energy was very high. Our narration ended in a matter

of half-an-our,” said Makhija, who gave all the credit to his team.

Shekhar had never been beaten up for playing the negative role of Much-chad till date. “I was taken by surprise when a few kids came to me and beat

me for being the wicked tree cutter.This was the best compliment my char-acter would have got,” he said.

The story sent out the message of saving natural habitat for animals and conserving forests.

guidelines for illustrator

The illustrations need to complement the text, reflect the

themes/ concept and characters appropriately, and suit the age group

the book is intended for. These guidelines decide the style of

drawings to be made. Also, books for older children tends to have

fewer illustrations, more muted palette.

Colour Vs ink black

I’m technically all grown up but I love colourful illustrations!

While I can’t speak for every child out there, I do recall feeling very

grown up when I got my first ink pen in school. I made a lot of black and white doodles as a teenager. There is something very powerful about

the colour black, it stands out. It lets you make a definite

statement.

how to judge a child’s drawing

Definitely, the idea, rather than lines and strokes, counts more. Children are naturally

creative and I think it is far more important to encourage their

abilities to express themselves than to meet set standards

of performance.

her illustrations Vs another illustrator

I think the story is deciding factor. My style of drawing

may not always be suited to the stories I write. So I am

quite open to the idea of another illustrator complementing my

words.

The teachers have to start working on a child’s hand-writing right from Std I and

train them again in Std VII and VIII. Teachers should focus on every straight and slanting line and the turn and curve of each letter.

It is also the responsibility of the parents to see if the child’s handwriting is good. Bad hand-writing should not be ignored.

It is the child’s handwriting that gives him confidence to pen down his thoughts and ideas. Hence, it also helps in the personality development of the child.

At Huzurpaga, we conduct inter-class handwriting competi-tions and the winners get prizes and certificates. Also the cover of the annual year book is made

by the students, as a part of the competition. The best cover is selected. In this competition, from drawing to writing, all the creativity on the cover page is done by the students.

The Science Club of Huzurpaga Katraj High School recently conducted

a science activity where scientist and toy maker Arvind Gupta and Vidula Mhaiskar were the chief guests.

The entire programme was conducted by students.

Arvind Gupta gave a demon-stration in making science-based toys from trash like matchsticks, straws, tyre tubes, safety pins and bottles. He made various toys like flute, flying bird, water sprinkler, hand pump, spiral snake, dancing bookmark, different geometrical shapes and electric motor.

A student, Vaishnavi Shingavi of Std VIII said, “It’s amazing to observe Dr Gupta making toys. I will definitely try mak-ing them myself.”

After watching the session, students of Std VII asked him ‘How can you get so many interesting ideas?’

Students of Std VIII had also arranged an exhibition of toys based on science concepts. Dr Gupta was very impressed to see the innovation in his own toys.

He said, “A best thing a child can do with the toy is to break it and learn something

to make out of it again. While learning science, students should make use of toys to understand the concepts.”

Seema Jhodge, Principal of Huzurpa-ga Katraj High School congratulated the students for conducting a well-organised session. She said, “The students got a golden opportunity to deal with scientific toys and the intention behind the session was successful.”

Handmade cards, beau-tifully illustrated with warli motifs by students

of Bharati Vidyapeeth En-glish Medium High School, Dhankawadi served as an invite to attend the school’s annual day gathering on Friday. The carefully thought out and worded invite, set the tone of the celebrations, which did not dish out just entertainment.

Themed ‘Jagruti’, the performances ranged from devotional songs to patriot-ic ones, dances as ode to

Goddess Durga and Lord Vithoba. The highlight of the day was a powada on the life of the school’s Founder, Dr Patangrao Kadam. Songs by students from North-east also cheered up the audience, who asked for an encore.

Nilesh Navalakha, a suc-cessful producer for Marathi films, who was the Guest of Honour, urged parents to let children do what they want to. In his speech, Navalakha said, “I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do after Std X. I finished my engineering, completed

my MBA and got into con-struction business. I got into film production by chance. But in all the years that I was studying and working to earn my livelihood, my passion was cinema. It took me years to realise what I wanted to do in life. I hope these children start working on their passion as early as they can.”

D G Shinde, Director of B V English Medium School Education Committee, and Principal, Sandhya Sawant, applauded the performances of students.

Sticking to traditionsPhotograph by Anand Chaini

Vidya Pratishthan’s English Medium School, Baramati has Health Care Science subject in its curriculum,

and students have to do the practicals listed in the course. One practical is ‘Participation in Pulse Polio Drive.’

Students of Std XII learnt the procedure from the medical team of Rui Rural Hospital, Baramati. On the day of the drive, they helped the medical superinten-dent and his staff in its smooth execution.

Students shouldered respon-sibilities like writing names, marking in tally sheets, marking

on the child’s finger and some also administered dose to the babies. They instructed parents not to feed the babies for 30 minutes after the vaccination and also informed parents about the next date for administration of polio drops.

They also learnt how to mea-sure blood pressure (BP) by using mercury BP apparatus and blood sugar level by glucometer. Dr Sunil Darade, Medical Super-intendent and his staff guided the students, which motivated them. Principal, N S Kharosekar appreciated the students for their contribution.
