Bastille Day or the National Day of France was celebrated on July 14th by our students at the TIST campus with great vigour and enthusiasm. Our campus was on full spirit with the zest of French history and culture as students and staff celebrated Bastille Day.

The students were dressed in red, blue, and white to represent the French tricolour flag's three colours. The classrooms and hallways were transformed into mesmerizing exhibits featuring several aspects of French culture, art, and well-known figures.

After regular classes concluded at 1:35 PM, students from different grades showcased their talents through exciting activities:

Grade 3 students showed off their creativity with pebble paintings using acrylic colours.

Grades 4 and 5 engaged in T-shirt art using painting stencils and fabric paint, creating outstanding designs.

Grades 6 and 7 treated everyone to a delightful French delicacy, 'Les Tartines,' made with bread, cream cheese, strawberry jam, and grape jam.

Grades 8 and 9 cooled everyone's thirst with the refreshing 'Diabolo Menthe,' a minty lemon drink originating from France.

Salma and Anamitra from Grades 8 and 9 enlightened their peers about the significance of Bastille Day and shared the history and beauty of France through captivating photographs and an interactive quiz.

Students in Grades 7, 8, and 9 performed a captivating skit in which they took on the roles of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, bringing a bit of drama and education to the festivities.
