Fun-Learn Day Boarding School

Students of Fun-Learn Day Boarding School observed the birth anniversary of B.R. Ambedkar on October 14 by celebrating the spirit of our constitution that makes India a secular nation. Since the occasion also happens to be the first day of the calendar year of many states and communities of India, the children put up a show representing all of them. They donned traditional outfits of Assam, Bengal, Kashmir, Maharashtra, Manipur, Punjab, Sikkim, Telangana and Tamil Nadu and performed the songs and dance steps of those states. “The occurrence of so many festivals around April 14, which happens to be B.R. Ambedkar’s birthday, makes the day even more meaningful to us. It is through these differences that we celebrate the oneness of India, which is exactly what Ambedkar rooted for. If the children understand that India is not only our motherland, but also our way of life — that it means respect and equality for all irrespective of caste, colour, creed, social standards, religions or beliefs — our work as teachers is done,” said founder Udita Chakraborty.

Akshar School broke the monotony of online classes with an out-of-the-box activity for the UKG students. Kids aged four and above from the UKG were encouraged to read newspapers in the virtual classrooms to inculcate the habit of reading to enrich their vocabulary. The tots were asked to delve into their areas of interest such as comic strips, fashion, food and sports and find words that they could read. The school held this activity for the primary students, too.
“The oral skills are important to know the child’s ability and attitude. Reading newspapers is a good habit and students can enrich their vocabulary through reading. Besides, we also asked the students to share pictures showing them reading in their comfort zones. We started with the UKG students, and it is running through the school,” said principal Kavneet Khullar.

The BSF had invited the students. The inauguration ceremony commenced with the national anthems of both the countries and then the children presented a special dance performance. It reflected the traditional culture that are common on both sides of the border and the spirit of camaraderie across the two nations. Several BSF and BGB officers of rank and former India goalkeeper Bhaskar Ganguly were present on the occasion. “We feel honoured to have been invited to perform at such a historical event.

The kids also thanked the caregivers and teachers, recognising their efforts and hard work.

“A small act of kindness can go a long way. At BDM International, we work to instil the power of kindness in all our students and make them believe that they have the power to make a difference. Kindness is a virtue that is never wasted and amidst the uncertain times, our little ones have extended their unadulterated love to everyone. I wish them all the happiness and pray for them to become ideal citizens of the world,” said principal
