The Integration Programme for standard five this year was spread over the month of July with ‘COLOURS’ as the big idea.
Each subject got identified with a colour, a theme, a song and a lyric. Lessons transformed into poetry, dance and drama and learning became exciting and colourful.

The presentation was divided into two parts.

The first part consisted of the performance by the students. Here the language and the science teachers had integrated the theme into poetry, songs and dramatisation. The world of colours was also depicted by the yoga and the P.E. performance.

In English, the students travelled to the rainbow land where they witnessed the victory of the WHITE TRUTH over the dark and dreary world of untruth. This was preceded by the Ribbon dance which added a degree of elegance to the performance highlighting the integration of all the seven colours of the rainbow to form the colour white.

In Science, the students explored the story of evolution of life through different colours.
The Olympic Rings were depicted by the P.E. performance where the representation of each continent was brought out by the relevant coloured ring and the national sport.
The ‘Gunas’ which dominate over each individual were represented by different colours through the Yoga performance. It showed the role of colours in shaping a persons disposition and personality.

The Hindi Quawali and the Marathi song helped everyone get a colorful picture of our traditions and Indian culture.

The Choir group presented a song on the Rainbow colours where the role of every colour in our life was highlighted.

The performance concluded with a heart warming song ‘We are the world’ by all the students of class five.

In the second session the parents were invited to join the students at the stalls where students had displayed the work done by them in various subjects over the last month.
Every stall reflected the colourful themes that each subject teacher had made the students work on. The Language stalls had beautiful poems written by student related to the colours. The Maths integrated fractions and pictographs with colours. The Science stalls highlighted the different species of flora and fauna with different colours. They also displayed experiments related to colour changes and made samples of cloth dyed with natural coloured dyes. The History stall came alive with students dressed as famous personalities down the ages. The Geography stall displayed the theme ‘Colours of the world’ wherein the different animal species around the world and their adaptations and camouflage through colours was displayed. The Art stall showcased the colourful murals made by all the students.
