Day 1 (08.04.13) - On the first day of the Project children were explained the meaning of inheritance and resemblance from and with our grandparents. Students were asked to discuss about their grandparents, their interests, professions and their hobbies. The project initiated with an endearing gesture, wherein a beautiful bouquet was prepared by the children for their grandparents by pasting the cutouts of flowers on the ice-cream sticks and signified a sense of gratification towards their grandparents. They were asked to write few lines on “Are grandparents special for us or can we live without them”? in their project files “Projectomania”. As a part of our project students had to interview their grandparents as home assignment. Day 2 (09.04.13) - This day started with the discussion in which emphasis was laid on the differences between paternal and maternal grandparents.
