Understanding how one adapts to their surroundings and as friends how you are there for each other was the learning when students of Grades III – V watched the Disney movie ‘Lyle Lyle Crocodile’.
SuperHero movies never go out of style. Students of Grades VI to X watched the DC movie ‘Black Adams’ with their friends.
Loading up on movie treats with Popcorns & soft drink with a dash of chocolate completed the whole movie ensemble. “Children are not things to be moulded, but people to be unfolded.” – Jess Lair
