Class XII students came dressed up as student-teachers and took over the charge of classes I-V for the day. The students exhibited a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm while acting as teachers and interacting with children. Primary classrooms were buzzing with plethora of fun activities once the student teachers entered. They played games, sang songs and made the children tap their feet on rhymes and songs.
