THIS NEW YEAR…

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more,
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
 Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
                                                                   
 (Alfred, Lord Tennyson)

As the year goes by and we get ready to embrace a new year we embark on making this year better than the ones which are bygone. We make resolutions and promises that, with the passage of the months, go into the darkness of ignorance. Let us therefore, make this year different! Let us strive to fulfill the commitments that were made long time back. Let us become more tolerant to the world around us and let others live in peace and harmony that we also want for ourselves. Let us make friends and keep friendships alive for lifetime. Let us inculcate sportsmanship and the true spirits of nationality and brotherhood. Let us make education more fun by giving newer definitions to the teacher students’ relationships and let us make lives more meaningful by being less selfish and more forgiving. Let us start living for the ones who are not as fortunate as us and let us spread smiles wherever we go. Let us make the world a healthier and cleaner place. Let us make ourselves smile and hug all around us with smiles.

ISA NOVEMBER ACTIVITY FAIRY TALES WONDER WILL NEVER CEASE

People believe and feel the existence of the God but hardly it is possible to have an interaction with the Almighty power because it is quite unseen, unthinkable, unapproachable and unexplainable so is true with the fairies. There is a lot of churning about the fairy around the world and people talk about the existence of fairy and believe in them. Undoubtedly people think that the stories of fairies will never reach its end and their wonders will never cease.

The project ‘Fairy Tale Wonders Will Never Cease’ provoked children to channelize their thoughts and expressions. Students were able to enhance their creative writing skill and sharpen their missionary process. During the span of activities students were able to analyze and think out of the box.

Under the leadership of Ms Pooja Saraswat accompanied by co-teachers Ms Manisha and Ms Neha the activities started with full zeal and enthusiasm in the month of November. Fortunately, we were linked up with the three grand countries i.e U.K, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Students of Class- V A, B, C were asked to find out 20 new words related to various fairy tales and later the words were sorted, drawn, coloured and then got wonderfully pasted for the wall magazine. The pictures of wall magazine were successfully uploaded and list of words were also sent to the clubbed countries to enable them to compose a song.

To make the program more interesting and thrilling, a video on twisted fairy tale was shown. Towards enhancing their imaginary skill, children were asked to think, imagine and write a twisted end with their own thoughts. It was observed that students came openly with their thoughts and penned down the twisted end on the shown video. All the writings of students were collected, scanned and sent to the student of Vth class of associated countries. The imaginary thoughts of students which were penned down were selected for enactment. Last day of this event which was observed as Fun Day, the selected ones were beautifully enacted by the students and enjoyed by the present audience, teachers and students. They were highly praised for their performances. Photographs were taken and were put at Project space allotted by British Council.

The joyful, thrilling project in which students of Class- V A, B, C participated whole-heartedly and shared their growing imaginary skill with each other to make this event more happening and learning oriented. Lastly, in the end of the project ISA Co- Ordinator of Ms Sonjuhi Khare appreciated the efforts of project members and the students who had participated in this event towards making the project memorable. The feedback from students, parents, judges and teachers were quite motivational and appreciable.
