Children's Day

The teacher chatting and waiting for everyone to arrive

One of my projects with the school was to help with the planning and preparation for Children's Day.  We worked for the month leading up to the event, practicing magic tricks and creating pieces of science experiments.

The schools in Tamil Nadu have a very strict syllabus and the teachers don't have much time for activities so I think the children really enjoyed getting to do some hands on work.  They paired up and showed off their experiments involving things like properties of metals, density, and air currents.





Two of the boys put on a fantastic magic show.

  

We had a great turnout and everyone seemed to have a good time.
