Chandigarh 25th April:- To mark the occasion World Book
Day, children of the Teachers Flat association of PGI
Chandigarh read the chapter from “The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer” by Mark Twain followed by enacting out scenes of “Whitewashing the Fence ”. Reading to children begins their journey of reading
and unlocks the child’s world of imagination. Reading is known to improve
children’s skills of paying attention, focusing, and acquisition of vocabulary.
This year we chose the theme “Whitewashing a fence” as most
people remember the fence scenario it because it's so clever. Tom tricks a
bunch of boy into thinking that work – the thing that he doesn't want
to do – is fun, so that he can spend the afternoon goofing off. He even get the
boys to pay him for the "privilege" of painting. He turns
punishment into pleasure, and pleases Aunt Polly in the process.
Dr Bhavneet Bharti , a
pediatrician at PGI said that we need to comprehend that
Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and that Play consists of
whatever a body is not obliged to do.
Can you imagine these
little kids finished painting the 20 feet long fence painting within a span of two
hours! Parents need to encourage active recreation, Believe me
children love nature walks , activities like this and it is only their
compulsion to watch the TV in absence of such creative activities.
