“The real magic wand is the child’s own mind.” – Jose Ortega Y Gasset

Jashn-e-Bachpan-A Festival of Dramatic Expressions, the Annual Day 2022-23, for Class III was held on 18 February 2023 at Delhi Public School, Pune.

The thought-provoking and inspiring stories of the Read Programme books inspired the Jashn-e-Bachpan of this year. The programme commenced with a heartwarming welcome by the students of Class III who briefed the parents about the momentous events at school. Then, the children brought to life the remarkable characters from the Read Programme books- ‘The Girl Who Hated Books’, ‘Ismat’s Eid’ and ‘Sadiq wants to stitch’. The characters aptly portrayed the sensitive issues like labelling of children, selfless love and empathy and stereotyping of gender roles that each of these books touched upon.

The show culminated in a scintillating grand finale where the children showcased the way they have imbibed - Wellness the Annual theme which focuses on the holistic approach of a sound mind in a sound body. The performance which was a perfect amalgamation of an artistic aura, well-synchronized dances and songs perfectly woven into a taut script, was a recipe for an instant success. The programme concluded with the proposal of the vote of thanks by the Principal, Ms. Amita Singh.
