With the noble intention of developing creativity and lateral thinking in the learners various Inter and Intra class competitions are held at PWS,Sherkhi. On 6th July, Wednesday, the finals of 1 minute Miming Competition was held for the three semi finalists chosen from each of the classes of 6 to 10 at the atelier and simultaneously for classes 1 to V held in their respective classes.
As soon as the students settled down at the atelier, the Principal Ms Preeta Pillai and the judges ( Ms Naina Parmar & Ms Meghna Bhakta) took their positions, the Primary Coordinator Ms Dolly Patel enacted as a thief who has broken into a house and forgetting about stealing gorges on the food items kept in the refrigerator and goes off to sleep in one of the cosy cot and gets caught by the people in the house. It was a wonderful miming act which made it easier for the learners to perform without any inhibitions. Soon after a round of applause for the miming performance, the Senior Coordinator congratulated the semi-finalists and instructed the rules for the final competition. Finalists beginning from class VI onwards one after the other confidently walked on to the dais and performed their best. The students mimed as thief, as an absent minded pedestrian, a star gazer, an onlooker in the mirror, as a hungry underprivileged boy, a thirsty child longing for a drop of water etc. Few students volunteered to give a brief description about their role especially those which conveyed a moral on the difficulties that a common man undergoes due to 'scarcity of water' and 'wastage of food in social celebrations and festivities' when there are thousands who go to bed without two square meal a day.
On the whole it was a successful attempt showcasing the latent ability of the learners which would benefit them in developing a dynamic and versatile personality in the long run.
