mothers also came to witness the competition and encourage their children. The school ground was agog

with activity and everyone was passionate to take their kite higher and higher. There were cheers and

applauses as the kites rose up in the air. Children were excited as they held the kites and helped their fathers

to fly them. It was a great success and was appreciated by everyone.

Vegetable Mart in School: An interesting activity was organized in school. A vegetable vendor was

invited to the school premises. A variety of vegetables were displayed for the kids of Nursery to Two. The

main motive was to give them practical knowledge of various vegetables and encourage them to consume

them in their daily diet. Children were able to recognise most of the seasonal vegetables like cabbage,

cauliflower, capsicum, peas, brinjal and got the information about vegetables like broccoli, yam, turnip, beet

root etc. They recognised the colours, shapes and names of various vegetables. The basic concept was clear

to the junior pupils through this novel method of teaching and it proved to be a great learning experience.

decorated the display boards with informative articles and pictures of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur

Shastri. The Principal and the teachers offered floral tributes to the great leaders and vowed to follow their

principles in life.

learn the victory of good over evil. The teachers narrated the story of Lord Rama to the students. The

students of Nursery and Prep were given the masks of Hanuman, the great devotee of Shri Rama prepared

by their class teachers. The teachers of classes I and II prepared golden clubs (gadas) for them and their

happiness knew no bounds as they posed themselves for a group snap holding the ‘gadas’. All children were

so excited to receive their Dussehra gifts that they left school saying ‘Jai Shri Ram’ before the Dussehra

Break.
