Lantern Making Competition at GG International School




As the students eagerly await the Indian festival of lights, “Deepawali”, an Inter house Lantern Making Competition was organised at GG International School for classes III to V on 19 October 2013.  All the students participated in the competition zealously.






The competition was held in their respective classes. Students got their material and crafted beautiful lanterns using various techniques of folding and cutting paper. They later enlivened the lanterns with lights and colourful embellishments. It was a visual treat to see the children giving wings to their imagination.

The house teachers selected one entry from each house per section from each of the classes and put the creative work of the students on display for the final judgement.  The criteria for the judgement were design, creativity, materials used, effect of lighting and overall effect. The competition was adjudged by a parent- judge Mrs Anju Mittal and the Art teacher Mr Rajesh Deshmukh. They appreciated the efforts put in by the children. Mrs. Anju Mittal commented, “Children have been very creative and have put in a lot of hard work. They have maintained the spirit of Diwali and have showcased their talents.”

                                        
The participants from Class III, Agrima Panwar from Eklavya House stood first; Bhumi Pandhare from Abhimanyu House and Atharva Chikhaliker from Dhruv House were the 1st and 2nd runners up respectively.

The participants from Class IV, Anukriti Khanna from Sharvan House stood first; Himanshu Jindal from Abhimanyu House and Ritesh Deshmukh from Dhruv House won the 1st and 2nd runners up  position respectively.
