On Saturday 27 August the children of Coimbatore and all their eager parents saw the launch of BUZZ- book club and theatre club for children at Vivekalaya School. It was a very special day for all of us who had gathered there to launch the BUZZZZZZ. And that is exactly how the day took off, with a very loud buzzzzz.
Renowned author and playwright Shreekumar Varma was our resource person for the evening, who brought in one of his popular books for young children, 'The Magic store of Nu-Cham-Vu' for reading out to the children and parents who had gathered there. After the book reading, the children were found animatedly discussing and debating the physical characteristics and personality of a mythical monster from the story.
This was followed by the lighting of the lamp by Shreekumar Varma, Shashi Ghulati, veteran theatre artist and director of several English plays, and Dr Rajeev Kamineni, Co-chair, Young Indians Coimbatore Chapter, Chief Officer, Kumaraguru College of Technology and a theatre actor. The final wick was of course lit by the all the children with great enthusiasm.
The event concluded with a very tightly contested quiz competition conducted by Hemalatha Ramesh of Long Long Ago.
Just like this meet each month, children will be introduced to new books that they may like to read. They will be asked to review or tell the story of a book they previously select. They will be introduced to characters from books, authors and their different styles of writing. Children will also be encouraged to write their own book reviews, stories, poems and illustrate stories that have been read at the club meeting. They will be introduced to theater and encouraged to convert some of the stories into an idea for dramatization...
