The Kiddies Meet this year was held on the 20th of March and the theme was Nursery Rhymes. The teachers enjoyed discovering lesser known songs and rhymes and fading childhood games like Oranges and Lemons, I sent a letter and Skipping and Hopscotch.

The Chief Guest, Mrs. Mrs. Aditi Patwari, the P.T.A President, declared the Meet open after the March Past of Classes from LKG to Std. II. This parade though not noted for precision, was the culmination of much practice which were seamlessly incorporated into the drills performed by the children.

The Meet got off to a great start with the “Sing, Dance and Play” drill by Class 1 and L.K.G. It was a nostalgic return to the old rhymes like Pop goes the weasel and Sally go round the Sun.

Class 3 welcomed spring with the Maypole drill. The children solemnly and meticulously plaited and wove intricate patterns with their ribbons. The Barber’s Pole and the Spider Web quite took our breath away. Then Class 2 joined the Maypole with “Twirls and Swirls” of their ribbons and put on a spectacular show.

After that, all the classes participated in fancy races to the tune of Pat-a-cake and Twinkle, twinkle little star. This was followed by the Hop, Skip and Jump Polka by Class 2 and U.K.G. It was a lively drill performed to the well remembered Camp town races, Skip to my Lou and Mexican dance. One, two buckle my shoe and Lollipop children were the last few races followed by the final prize distribution. The winners were awarded medals and certificates. The children left school with happy memories of Kiddies Meet 2010.
