Setu Junior Wing

Volume 03 January - April 2019

We have come to the end of another academic year. The last

few months were dotted with a plethora of academic and

non academic events, activities, celebrations and learning

experiences. The last volume of Setu 2018-19 is here to give

you a glimpse of the events and activities our Shishyans

participated in.

Annual Events - Anugoonj & Pratibimb

Anugoonj saw the participation of around 750 students

from Sr. KG to Class V. The programme was a cornucopia of

talent and colour. It comprised the vandana, malakhamb,

the English plays Stone Soup and Planet Explorers, a dance

drama The Giving Tree, the mime, a group song and the

Hindi plays Rashmirathi and Arth ka Anarth. The

enchanting folk dances and the western dances, as usual,

filled the atmosphere with joy. The show was anchored by

the students of Class V which added a delightful dimension

to the evening.

carnival through their lively and well-coordinated dance Maria

Pitashi.

presentations were used as fillers which filled the auditorium with peals

of laughter. The little singers of III C also presented a song on Holi.

The melodious singers of IV E sang praises to Lord Krishna.

The lively dancers of IV D captivated the audience with their

breathtaking dance moves, impersonating Shri Krishna and the gopis.

The skit by the confident actors of III G was based on an incident from

Shivaji Maharaj’s life which depicted the respect he bestowed on

people who were brave and truthful. Thereafter, the graceful dancers of

performance Jai Shivaji.
