World Book Day– 2024

We have often heard that “books are our best friends”; why, because, books are an ocean of knowledge and where there is knowledge there is perfection, power and purity of thoughts. On the occasion of World Book Day, 23 April’24, the children were encouraged to read, as the theme this year says, ‘Read your way’. The more you read the more you learn, the more you learn the more you grow and the more you grow the more you have confidence to achieve your goals.

During the assembly famous Indian authors like Rabindra Nath Tagore and Munshi Premchand were paid homage. The whole school got involved in some interesting activities like ‘draw your favourite book character’, ‘dress up like any book character’ and ‘speak 2 lines on it’, ‘book mark making’, ‘book hunt’ and ‘find naming words, describing words and action words from the newspaper’.

Inculcating reading habit is a process which takes time and one can master it with discipline, this is what we keep engraving in our young minds.

World Earth Day– 2024

When we think about unconditional love, an image of our mother comes to our mind. No matter what we do and how we treat her, she only gives back LOVE, LOVE and more LOVE.

We call the Earth our mother but sometimes we fail to become ideal citizens, when we pollute and waste our natural resources. But mother Earth never fails to satisfy our hunger and quench our thirst.

On the occasion of ‘World Earth Day’, measures to save the earth were told to the students, in the assembly for example- save energy, say no to plastic, conserve water, grow trees, etc.

The children were taught to give back to the earth by doing some activities like plantation of trees, making reusable cloth/paper bags, bird feeder, sun catcher, making plant/seed bombs, masks of endangered species, etc. Celebrating Earth day is not a one day task but it is a promise to continue putting efforts every single day round the year.
