She will visit Grades 1 and 2, and ask a few simple questions about objects in the class and around. The activity aims to enhance the descriptive skills and vocabulary of students. Also, students of Grade 1 will paint the inside of a coconut shell with black colour, and then sprinkle a pinch of glitter powder.

The event is coordinated by Ms. Sangeeta Kini.
