REPORT ON ENGLISH MONTH 2015-16 (Primary Section Classes I to V)

English month was celebrated with a lot of zeal and fervor in the Vidyalaya. There were many activities to ensure artistic development of children along with literary development. During this month long gala event , display boards all around the school were embellish-ments with creation of our budding poets and writers. There have been numerous activities aiming to unearth the hidden talents. Aristophanes once said , “ High thoughts must have high language”. Keeping this in mind a row of activities was planned to caste these high thoughts into perfect moulds.

Class I & II: We had intra class activities like ‘Recitation’ on April 28,2015 and April 29,2015 and “Talk” on April 30,2015.

Inter House Elocution competition for classes III-V was held on May 2, 2015 . In the words of John W. Gard-ner ,“True happiness involves the full use of one’s power and talents”, and the same notion was seen overflowing in our children as they made full use of their literary quotient.

A Tremor that shook our life: Earthquake

By Laulin Mishra-VIII-A “Nothing can replace the cost of one life”. The 2015 Nepal Earthquake which killed at least 8000 people and injured twice as many as of 30th April 2015 with magnitude between 7.8 and 8.1 at 11:56am on 25th April 2015.Its epi-center lied in the Barpak village of Gorkha district. It was the most powerful disaster that struck Nepal after the 1934 Nepal-Bihar Earthquake. The families of the dead people had emotions floating on their face. The tremors were felt in many parts of Northern India. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi and Rajasthan were mainly affected by this quake. We were swinging like a pendulum too. India responded with Operation Maitri for rescue. Most people were killed in Bihar. The quake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest killing, at least 19, making it the deadliest day on the mountain in history. Geophysicts and other earthquake experts had warned for decades that Nepal is vulnerable to a deadly earthquake, particularly because of its geology, urbanization and ar-chitecture. Continued aftershocks occurred throughout Nepal, with one shock reaching a magnitude of 6.7 on 26th April 2015 at 12:54pm. Even five days after the quake, rescue teams were still pulling out survivors trapped under rubble both inside and outside Kath-mandu valley. Nepal was almost flushed by the earthquake and it was unpredictable that it will happen in such a beautiful and safe country. Hence the nature of the disaster state that there is no alarming time of its arrival and its departure is also unpredictable as if it could occur in such a safe zone of the world then nearby India is also for it. But the final question is whether In-dia is capable of carrying such a devastating load of disaster? We talk more about Unity in Diversity but at that time we really need to show it off because:

“United we stand, Divided we fall”.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

By Ilarika Singh VIII - A

Here is a popular saying by Mahatma Ghandhi, “The greatness of a nation and its moral pro-gress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”. Imagine you are an animal beaten head to tail what will you feel? That’s how animals feel when they are beaten. Cruelty to animals is increasing day by day. There’re many forms of cruelty to animals some common forms are- Scientific experimentation, mistreatment and hunting etc. “Scientific ex-perimentation is the necessity of life” it is said. Society needs to research to improve econ-omy and the products of everyday life until something has to suffer. Many companies test their products on animals for human safety. Monkeys, rabbits and cats are some creatures used in scientific experimentation. The major problem with this is that animals suffer a trau-matic experience. Many animals endure rashes, gashes, burns and hair loss. Some companies go as far as placing metal rods in animal’s head. However, researchers justify this inexcus-able treatment with “It’s for science”. Yet we have to wonder how scientists would feel in this situation. People do hunting for their entertainment but they don’t know that animals are also the living creatures and we don’t have the right to kill them. Here is a quote by Ellen Degenere, “I ask people why they have deer heads on the wall. They say that it is such a beautiful animal, I think my mother is attractive but I have photographs of her”. Some people keep animals as their pet and put them in cage. Imagine you are asked to live in a room for your whole life with all the facilities in that room. Would you? Certainly not because you know that you’ll get bored in one day you want go out and enjoy the fresh air similarly is with animals. They also love freedom and they also want to go out like us and enjoy the fresh air. Some people torture and mistreat their pets. You remember when you get sick your family worries about you especially your mother. Similarly animals have also their family and a mother who trusted you to take care of her child. Do you think laws are tough enough to stop cruelty to animals? According to me they are not, they should be tougher to stop the animal cruelty. People should be fined from being cruel to animals. Here is a quote by Cesar Chavez “We need a special way to work twice as hard to make peo-ple understand that animals are fellow living creatures and we should love them as we love ourselves”. We should stop people from being cruel to animals and love them. Animals are also the important part of our ecosystem.
