Water Cycle – Learning Cycle
What’s in a picture? A lot apparently. This we discovered at St. Inez MOP this Tuesday. It’s a wet day outside and right on cue, today we’re all huddled in the little temple space ready to read The Sea in a Bucket. This is a book about a little boy named Sonu who is ready […]
How A Coral Tree Inspired A Mango Tree
Last week, we did a reading of The Coral Tree across MOP sites. I personally read the book with the kids at Taleigao. We particularly enjoyed this book because it brought in components of nonfiction to the book. And though we did not have a Coral Tree near us, we had a number of trees […]
LiS is the way we go to schools!
Songs and singing are part of our program. They’re also a big part of the resource team’s in between hours. We come up with songs on a vast array of topics to suit the requirements of our lesson plans. It’s Tuesday morning, and today we’re singing a song. It’s not a part of the lesson […]
Piece by Piece….Our Tree Grew
“When life gives you scraps….make quilts!” …and that is just what we did! A year ago, we started at the roots….and worked our way up to the sky. And ‘sew’ it is, that a year later, our banyan tree is complete! Threads of many colours, people of different ages and people with varying skills and […]
Ready! Set! Go LiS!
Summer’s through and not a moment too soon! The kids and their energy… (there were moments when) they made us swoon! (The heat this summer had a large part to play in the swooning!) But now the academic year’s back and we need to prepare; And as you know, this is done with great care! […]
They Came! They Read! They Cooked!
‘Turning up the heat’ cannot have been more apt for the 13th, 14th & 15th of May in Bookworm. Outside, the mercury is rising and the humidity spiking; and inside, the thermostat is being set to 200 degrees, and the things are being put on the double boiler! It’s the 3 day cooking segment; Cook […]
Reading Coral Tree…Under A Tree!
( The bard is back, and happily; to tell of a day spent merrily!) Summer days…..can be spent in so many ways! Like sitting in a park in idle haze! And to the park, we certainly did go… ‘Idle haze’, a definite no! The summer campers took a walk, And on the way about […]
We Saw Red!!
(Posted by Tara Saldanha) Thursday, 8th of May saw an eager bunch of children bound into the library . To begin the day dedicated to the colour red, we sent the kids on a scavenger hunt around the library for all things red. Once our scavenger baskets were brimming, Sheena brought out a selection of […]
Read Aloud Bucket List
It’s Summer time and of course at Bookworm, we’re all about books and reading! This summer, we created a Summer Reading Bucket List and it’s available in the library for anyone who’s up for the challenge! Through our programs, we read in schools, we read in community spaces, and we read in parks. But this […]
With Light and Shadows They Did Play…
Shadows and Light. If you’re wondering how a theme like this would pan out, here’s a look at what Isa pulled out of the bag for this session. Warm up! Shake it out! Tell me you name…with flourish is how we do it in this game! Do a twirl, or hop around, wave your […]
