Guest Lecture – “Good Manners”
Ms
Neera Prasad was invited for a guest lecture to grade 5. The topic of
discussion was GOOD MANNERS. A short film was shown to introduce good manners which
motivated all the young minds. Ms Neera spoke on how good manners make a full
man. They are very essential for human civilization. Without good manners a man
is like a purse without money, even though very attractive from outside. Good
manners are the outcome of good breeding. A person who has been brought up in a
good environment would have good manners. We may call them the
flowers of mankind’s garden. Grade 5 children were highly motivated and
enjoyed the session.
Ms
Kounine, parent of grade- 4 was invited as a guest. She did a
scientific experiment, which indeed made the students very excited. Students
were given a white paper, some lime juice and a stick and were made to write
the name, it was later kept under the candle and the magic was seen.
Students showed a lot of interest and felt thrilled after getting the result of
the experiment.
We
invited Ms. Lavanya for a Guest lecture on "Saving Earth" to
enlightened our students on how to use the resources on Earth and how to
conserve it and what are the effects of pollution on nature. The children
were very enthusiastic to listen and actively responded and participated. They
also felt responsible for their acts of wasting their available resources and
took an oath to save their Mother "Planet Earth".
Expert talk
Grade
5 students had a session with the School Doctor, Dr. Manasa, who shared with
the students loads of information on different Medical Apparatus. This Expert
Talk was conducted in-line with their present chapter Living Longer and
Healthier Lives.Dr. Manasa has even shown students the First Aid box and spoke about the important components of First Aid Box.
It was a very informative and knowledgeable session, conducted to educate the young minds about the different medical apparatus.
Field Trip to a village to
see different types of houses
School
Children were taken for a field trip to a nearby village in connection with the
chapter Shelter. They were shown the materials like cement, bricks, stones,
bamboo and hay, which are used to build houses. They identified different types
of houses like Pucca houses, Kuccha houses and temporary houses
(tents). The children enjoyed seeing the village scene.
Survey
In
connection with the topic "Combustion and Fossil fuels", grade VIII
children went for the survey to nearby petrol bunk to find out the information
about the amount of petrol and diesel sold per day on an average, the current
rates and the increasing of rates of petrol and diesel for this year, the
purity check of the petrol. Differences between leaded and un-leaded petrol, addition of power boosters, information
about bio-diesel were also learnt. Student’s collected the data and made a
powerpoint presentation as a part of their project work.
Robotics workshop
In this weekend Robotics workshop was organized
to demonstrate the use of technology and robots. Children made different models
of robots with the help of NXT and different other electronics components.
Community Service
Community
Service is rich with meaning, action, and the power to make a difference. It is
devoted to helping people function the best they can in their environment. This
heritage, in which social problems are seen as social concerns, gives
contemporary social work its unique character among helping professions.
This
weekend our boarders took a session of our school ‘Ayammas’. They explained the
basic hygiene and basic etiquettes to them. Children explained them on how to
maintain hygiene in dining hall and other areas of the school campus. Children
also taught them on various ways of greeting people in English language.
SPORTS
& FITNESS
Some
of our children did really well on the sports front. I am glad to inform you
that our boarders (Akash, Mansan, Farhan Ali & Pavan Kumar) participated in
District Cross Country Race held at Vizag and Aakash was selected for the next
level of the meet.
Birthday celebration
This week, we celebrated birthday of Mansan
& Akshita. On their birthday they distributed cake to boarders. Students
