Sun & summer camp

The summer camp organised at DBMS English School and inaugurated by principal Satya Chaitanya was a perfect blend of fun and information. At the camp, the daily routine comprised yoga and sports conducted by Raj Kishore in the morning, followed by Techno Club?s Technology Integrated Learning sessions dealing with computer related topics and languages. But the classes on performing arts ? dance, drama, music and fine arts ? caught the imagination of the students.

Pankaj Jha, Shilpi Lahiri and Vijay Bhushan addressed various issues like the future of performing arts and dance. Lakshmi Dey taught the children the finer points of pastel colours, pencil shading, nature drawing and pot painting.
