Buzzers roared, pranced and saved the tigers!

Buzzers met again on Saturday 24 September for the second BUZZ Book and Theatre Club meet. The theme for the month was "Save the Tiger" and the children learnt all about tigers and their importance through drama, role-plays, book reading, and creative expression.

The evening started off with a tiger warm up that included some fun tiger-belly-laughs and tiger-belly-cries. Children were then introduced to books The Terrible tigers and Tigers at twilight that introduced them to the theme of the month.

Mr. Daniel an Entomologist from Zoo Outreach Organization Coimbatore was our guest speaker for the day. He brought in a lot of tiger masks for the children and took them through a creative session on tigers and friends of tigers. His interaction was a lot of fun and extremely informative.

Soon after that the children had an opportunity to creatively express their thoughts in whichever way they wanted. Some of the younger children coloured and striped the tiger in red, blue, purple and orange. The older ones of the lot wrote very inspiring stories and poems. Here's one....

A body full of stripes
Running with a grace
Gives me a lot of thoughts
About your lovely face

How fast can you run
Watching you is so much fun
While you sit under the sun
why do they point at you a gun?

- Aditya Guruprasad - Class Three

If you want to see the rest of them. Head out to 'On the Go' in Race Course and 'That's Y Food' in R.S Puram. We wrapped up the day with a tightly packed Wild Life quiz that gave the evening its final punch!

The children came, roared, pranced and helped save the tiger with BUZZ.
