Cambridge School, New Friends Colony

Monthly Report December 2019

A. Events within the School

On December 24th the school choir presented the Christmas assembly. The choir sang

many beautiful carols blending it with a small skit, hence, getting the whole school into

the Christmas spirit.

Secret Santa

This year we introduced a new way of spreading some joy and happiness to all our

students and teachers, called the ‘Secret Santa’. All the children were asked to bring

gifts of not more than the value of Rs.50 and were also asked to wrap it only with

newspapers. For teachers it was Rs. 200. The gifts bought by the students was collected

by the class teacher and kept in huge cartons. On December 24, the students randomly

picked up gifts to take home.

As is done every year, the new Christmas video, composed and created by our

school staff, was also launched on December

24.

The students of classes 4 and 5 were taken for an edutainment trip to Amritsar from 5th

Dec to 7th Dec. The visit to Sri Harminder Sahib (Golden Temple) was awesome. The

children not only saw the sacred pond and heard stories about the temple but were also

taken on the tour of the community kitchen. The laser show in Govindgarh Fort was

outstanding and the 7D show was equally interesting. The Jallianwala Bagh was being

renovated so, much could not be

seen. The Partition museum had a

lot of stories, materials and

documents related to the post-

partition riots that followed the

division of British India. The

Retreat Ceremony at the Atari

Wagah border was elaborate and

patriotic. The children enjoyed

punjabi cuisine, folk dances, local

handicrafts, songs and stories at

Sadda Pind. They loved shopping

for souvenirs. It was overall an

excellent and memorable

experience for the children.

A talk was given by Ms. Divya Puri on compassion for animals. She also introduced the

children to her organisation, which works for stray animals in the New Friends Colony

abandoned horses and cattle, was moving and inspiring for all.
