Sushila Birla Girls’ School
The Primary section of Sushila Birla Girls’ School celebrated a father’s unwavering love for his daughter with moving performances, during its morning assembly, on June 19.
Nursery students and their fathers watched a video compiled by the teachers to commemorate the event.
While the father-daughter duo were engaged in making milkshakes, the mothers were busy capturing the special moments in the form of pictures.
Along with their fathers, the little ones enjoyed a Father’s Day story narrated by the teachers. The children then sang songs with heartfelt expressions and gifted cards to their fathers to wish them a happy Father’s Day.
The daughters also styled their father’s hair and gave them a hug before they left for work.
Students of Classes I and II created cards in the computer class using Paint and Auto Draw, an app, to express their gratitude to their fathers for their support and love. The girls also prayed for their safety and health.
The students of Class III, on the other hand, celebrated the day by dedicating a song to their fathers. The cards and videos created by the girls were shared with the class.
Students of Classes IV and V showed PPTs that illustrated the emotions of this bond. Hand-made cards and the Canva-prepared ones reflected the bond shared between the two.
At the end, each child’s effort honoured and exalted one of the most beloved relationships.
“Fathers have always been a source of inspiration, support, strength and faith for their children. Our students celebrated Father’s Day with a lot of enthusiasm and made beautiful cards for their superheroes. They used various creative ideas to make their fathers feel special,” said headmistress Vidisha Panja.
South City International
The cubs of South City International School took part in an inter-group competition on Clean Water and Sanitation. Five modules and 16 projects were presented in this contest, initiated by Bharat Scouts and Guides.
The United Nations has set 17 global objectives (sustainable development goals) to build a better future. Goal No. 6 is about access to water and sanitation facilities.
The school took part in a variety of activities such as Water Charades, Water Cycle Game, Water Dance, Community Water Project, Adopt a Tap and others.
The cubs learnt various uses of water, the need for its conservation, reasons for global water crisis and its repercussions. They were also asked to educate their parents, relatives and household help on how to save water at home.
Nearly 1,000 children die every day from diarrheal diseases that can be prevented by improving water and 2.4 billion don’t have access to basic sanitation facilities worldwide, the students were told.
“As a biologist, I realise the importance of saving water for future generations. We cannot take our natural resources for granted as they are slowly getting depleted. I expect my students to be problem-solvers and innovators. I want them to also spread the word around in the community at large,” said principal John Bagul.
Purushottam Bhagchandka Academic School
Purushottam Bhagchandka Academic School celebrated the second edition of Shape Day Activity to instil in its students a desire to learn through doing, on the school premises on July 15.
With a playful and handson approach, the event aimed to teach the kids about the numerous shapes they encounter every day — something that institutions had struggled to offer students during the past two years.
Students from Pre-nursery to Class II took part in the activity, which was conducted offline for the first time with enthusiasm, as they recognised various shapes and patterns in everyday objects.
Some young learners dressed up as different shapes, while others created badges and hats for the occasion.
The children were introduced to different shapes through a variety of charts, accessories and props. The students got round smileys and triangular and rectangular sandwiches for lunch that kept the atmosphere fun and interactive.
“We wanted to provide the children with some practical experiences in studying shapes after the lockdown. We took them around the school to teach about various shapes. In the end, the children were able to recognise shapes. They could also count and identify the number of corners that each shape has,” said principal Madhuparna Andrews.
Ruby Park Public School
Education is not limited to books and classrooms, it is more about honing one’s skills in all spheres of life - with this thought, Ruby Park Public School provided the Primary students from different schools a platform to showcase their talents at its inter-school fest, Genius Junior, on July 16.
The students took part in a range of activities, including Expressions, Pitter-Patter, Rhythm Divine, Tell-a-Tale and Pantomime, among others. The fest also gave them the chance to interact with each another, which helped them enhance their social skills and self-confidence.
“The performances were so good that we could not stop cheering for them. We sincerely appreciate this initiative taken by our school, and we look forward to attending more events like this in the near future,” said Jasraj Singh, a Class III student of Ruby Park Public School.
The guests included members of the school management committee Natasha Agarwal and Sagar Agarwal and principal Joyeeta Majumder.
“In today’s world, education should not be limited to the classroom only but should be imparted in a holistic manner, which will help to create future global citizens,” said the principal.
