The Rhyme time day was designed
in Pathways School as a day to celebrate every child’s learning in areas of
music, dance and drama. This year, it was held on the 19th April.
Every child
from Pre-Nursery to Form 1 including the pre-termers (in school for two weeks)
participated. Parents and grandparents walked into the cafeteria with cameras
on their shoulders and smiles on their faces. The programme was opened by Dr.
Advani, where she rightfully stressed on the sensitivity of students while they
are up on the stage and looking
forward to showing off to their parents. The
children performed flawlessly (unlike the rehearsals) and all items presented
drew claps and cheers from the doting parental crowd. The variety of
performances led to an interesting morning, where we heard Pre-Nurseries
recite, Nurseries sing and Kindergarteners
dance like superstars. However, Form
1 in particular needs a special mention as they enacted a play wherein each
child got an opportunity to speak on the stage. They worked on the script
themselves and came up with pairs of rhyming lines, to go with the feel of the
“rhyme” day .All this ended with our parents and students singing and dancing
‘Aye aye yippee, aye aye yippe, aye aye yippe yippe aye….’.
