The morning of Dec. 14 dawned upon Taqwa International School, Riyadh to witness the Kindergarten Section celebrate the Winter Day. Decked up in warm winter attires, the tiny tots learnt the season's dress code in a fun way. In the classes, the students undertook an interesting Design-Your-Woolen-Cap activity. Prior to an Awards Assembly, a treat awaited for the little stars. Each student received a cup of warm hot chocolate drink with whip cream from their teachers. The most-striking part of The Winter Day was the creation of a winter wall collage by the students. And so, two little hands of every KG student worked together to create a classic, winter day panoramic view. Towards the end, watching them ‘WOW' at their very own creation and hardwork was a sight to cherish!Principal Dr S.M Anvar said, “I have never witnessed a Winter Day Celebration like this anywhere else. The students really enjoyed creating the wall collage.”Spectacular science exhibitionThe science fair held by Talal International School under the title ‘TIS Vision 2012' at the school premises in Bagdadiyah, Jeddah on Jan. 26 was truly spectacular.
