LEARNING ON WHEELS

image

Grade 4 is in creativity ,Action and Service

Grade 4 students went to a government school and spread the awareness on safety and first aid, the students explained the students of the nearby Govt school, different aspects of first aid and personal hygiene in their local language Telugu. Our students prepared and donated the first aid boxes to the school. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to know the world around. Our students experienced the joy of giving and sharing the knowledge.

The family that dines together ,stays together..

Dining with family members  is therapeutic.  No egos are entertained at the dining table. One learns to share the food, serve each other, and get to taste new dishes. There is so much unrest in this world today, being with family gives a sense of security, emotional balance and a sense of well being.

So if families have to bond, they must dine together……taking this further into our classrooms we the teachers invited  our class parents for lunch.Some lovely afternoons were spent with them in school. We felt it was a wonderful opportunity to bond with the parents outside the classroom boundary.

" It was very nice and memorable experience to spend time with the little ones and working with them on arts and crafts activities. I really thank Miss Ganga and Miss Deepthi for helping me out with the activity and looking forward for more opportunities to spend quality time with kids." – Geetha Edara

Student Reflection

25th Dec was my birthday. I felt very happy giving plants on my birthday to everyone, as it is part of protecting the environment. I hope even my friends will take responsibility to grow new plants and bring a change and make the earth a greener place to live in.

PP2’s went on a field trip to Novotel Hotel on 26 December’11,in connection with their Unit ‘Celebrations’. It was an amazing sight to see the Christmas tree made up of 4,800 recycled drinking water bottles .There was also a ginger bread house made up of ginger bread and cookies. Children interacted with the employees and asked many interesting questions about the unique Christmas tree and also relished the muffins and plum cake which was served to them.

Celebrating The Spirit Of Christmas

The senior school assembly wore a festive look as the children actively participated in celebrating the spirit of Christmas. Carols were sung by the staff and students and the students had great fun watching Santa Claus romping around distributing sweets too.

Festivals do bring in a lot of cheer and happiness but it’s also a good time to reflect and do a turnaround in life for the better.
