Storytelling session by Ms Krishna

We are the first school in tricity to have storytelling as an integrated part of the curriculum in kindergarten and primary section. The idea to place the stories at the heart of learning is to build the imagination and thinking skills in children from early stages. As per the methodology, the content of the story provides the b

asis for further explorations of the topic. To adopt the curriculum effectively, monthly storytelling session by experts are planned for the entire year. The first in the series was a session by a writer, teacher and special educator since three decades Ms. Vinita Krishna.
To further help teachers master the art of storytelling and implement the methodology more efficiently, Ms Vinita Krishna conducted a workshop for teachers of the school. The workshop emphasized on how to restructure planning of the curriculum using the storytelling approach and techniques to tell stories in a class.
She also held sessions with mothers of the students highlighting the importance of storytelling.
Ms Krishna is actively involved with the ‘Khaas Kitaab’ Foundation, an NGO engaged in publishing innovative books for children. She expresses her love for children in many ways and through various media. Her ‘special’ tactile and multi- sensorial books continue to win her international acclaim.
