Seeing and making science work

K.scope — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:35:36 +0000

Last weekend was a fun time at Kaleidoscope: We had the first of the science experiments workshop conducted by Yardstick , a group dedicated to creating experiential learning activities for science education.

The children made a balloon powered car, a water pump, a hovercraft and a flute. On the way, they befriended several principles of physics. “Awesome!”, “Such fun!” and “Wow, cool” were just some of the things we heard the kids say.

We have two more workshops to go, this weekend and the next.

Do join in for a hands-on, experiential encounter with science.

Happy New Year! And a brand new program

K.scope — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 11:19:49 +0000

We trust your year is already off to a great start. Kaleidoscope wishes you success in what you desire, much happiness, and peace in 2010 (and every year after that!!)

We’re off to doing what we do, in the new year with

Hands-On!

Kaleidoscope introduces a unique graded reading program integrated with kinesthetic skills, for children in class 1 to 3.

This 12 week program aims to build reading skills in a graded systematic way, moving the child from the level he or she is currently comfortable at, to a higher degree of reading competence.

But here’s the twist. The reading exercises are interspersed with hands-on kinesthetic activities aimed to develop eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills. So your child enjoys the double benefit of reading and kinesthetic activities in the same program.

Kinesthetic activities involve the child’s hands and body and are helpful to build whole body balance, eye-hand coordination (such as cutting, catching, folding etc), and develop fine motor skills (such as working comfortably with very small objects for example) , apart from developing an overall sense of well being.

Details

For children in classes 1 to 3
12 weeks beginning Jan 7, 2010
Classes on Tue, Wed, Thu, 1.5 hours each day
Time slots: 4 to 5.30pm and 4.30 to 6 pm
Fee Rs. 3000

For more details, please contact 040-40180825 or 9849747170

The Art of Letting Go

K.scope — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 04:51:57 +0000

The Alexander Technique is not so much something you learn as something you unlearn. It is a method of releasing unwanted muscular tension throughout your body which has accumulated over many years of stressful living. This excess tension often starts in childhood and, if left unchecked, can give rise in later life to common ailments such as arthritis, neck and back pain, migraines, hypertension, sciatica, insomnia and even depression.

Specifically, the Alexander Technique helps if you:

Suffer from repetitive strain injury or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Have a backache or stiff neck and shoulders.
Become uncomfortable when sitting at your computer for long periods of time
Are a singer, musician, actor, dancer or athlete and feel you are not performing at your full potential.

Muscle Testing Workshop

K.scope — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:31:00 +0000

You unconscious mind is tremendously bigger and more capable than your conscious mind. It has records of every moment of your life, your every motivation and your every action.

How would it be if you could google your unconscious mind?!

Imagine, if you could ask your unconscious mind a question, any question, about yourself and you could get a simple, direct answer in a yes or no. For example:

Does my body still have traces of last year’s respiratory infection? Yes? No?
I think I’ve forgiven my sister for the nasty remarks she made when I was 13. Has my system really forgiven her?
My career is going nowehere in spite of my best efforts. Am I sabotaging myself in some way?
I always end with people taking advantage of my good nature. Is it that I am just too gullible?
I think I’m a strong independent type. Is it true?

Muscle testing is a simple mechanism to connect with your unconscious mind and communicate with binary responses.
