Sonnet Symposium

The Sonnet Symposium was a memorable new initiative for our Grade 4 students. This enriching three month journey began in December with a guided writing process and culminated on 1st March, when students proudly presented their work to their parents.

Recognizing that poetry is often overlooked as a literary form, we aimed to cultivate a deeper appreciation for it through this workshop. Students explored five key areas: poetry genres, types of poems, poetic devices, renowned poets, and poetry analysis. Additionally, learning stations were set up for Hindi and Kannada, where students showcased presentations on celebrated poets from these languages. These stations also included interactive games aligned with their learning objectives. As part of the guided writing process, students composed poems and created pieces based on a chosen theme and genre. This workshop provided a platform for budding poets to emerge, fostering creativity without the constraints often imposed by other forms of writing. The poetic license granted students the freedom to express themselves authentically and imaginatively.

The unwavering support from our parent community was instrumental in making this event a grand success. The positive and encouraging feedback we received has motivated us to establish the Sonnet Symposium as an annual feature for Grade 4. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this event a truly enriching experience.
