“Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God”. – Leo Buscaglia.

We at #Cambridge not only focus on quality education and values, but also bring out the hidden talents of our young students. Young children, as we believe have an ocean of hidden talent amongst them and to nurture their intrinsic qualities, Cambridge organized – “KHOJ” – A #TALENTHUNTACTIVITY
that provided a platform and gave an opportunity to students to showcase their unique skills and talents to their fellow students and to the school community.

The purpose of the activity was to nurture #intrinsicqualities and remove the #fearofstage among students, which helps in personality development.

Talent Hunt is one such event that gives students a platform to represent their talents in any field. It helps students show their abilities and motivates them to come upfront and show their hidden potential.

International Dance Day

#InternationalDanceDay

Learning, thought, creativity, and intelligence don’t just come from the brain alone but from the entire body. Movement combinations increase memory, order, and sequencing skills.

Creating dances also increases self-esteem, which is very important to learning. Knowing that dance has positive effects on students’ development, a #DanceActivity was organised at #Cambridge for the #KindergartenWing on 29th April to celebrate the International Dance Day.

The young learners displayed innovative dance moves with unique steps and rhythms as they happily moved their feet. Also, their repertoire of dance numbers was quite amazing! Some children choose to create their own dances, and that was a joy to watch.

Dance has also been proven to increase cognitive development.
Utilizing dance in academics also helps children develop skills that are necessary for learning, such as creativity, communication, critical thinking, and collaboration. Through the creative process, students were encouraged to use their imagination, collaborate with their peers to solve problems, and discover multiple solutions to challenges.

As the Kindergarten rocked the floor with their beautiful attire and moves, we hope that all of our children never lose their desire to play #music and #dance!
