Children's Film Festival

Indus World School had organized a Children’s Film Festival on 19^th May 2012. Yes a movie show… Movies are not only a great source of enjoyment but also a great source of learning. Parents can have various discussions with children on and about the movie which would be a good learning for children. Indus World School is consistently in an effort to make learning a fun experience, whether it is learning in academic, sport, music, values or emotions. Children’s Film Festival is one of such effort.  

The movie scheduled for Saturday was “Finding Neemo”. The show was for the children of age group, between 3 yrs to 8 yrs, with their parents. The objective was discussion between children and their parents on following points:

1. As children we must heed advice given by our parents as they talk out of experience yet sometimes we learn only when we experience events on our own.

2. We should help others whenever we can, sometimes even going out of our way to do so

3. Parents support their children even if it causes agony and trouble

4. Everybody loves their freedom and as humans we should respect other living beings too.

5. Under-water experience of knowing the animals, types of fish, colours and patterns.

A drawing competition was also organized after the show, in which children had to draw something related to the movie. The drawing competition was also enjoyed by the children a lot. Each child was engrossed in putting down his colourful imagination on parents. All the children were given a token of participation and the winners were:

I prize: Aarna Nandecha

II prize: Krishna Garg

IWS is planning more such film festivals for the children of other age groups.
