As Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India is observing the Road Safety Week from 11th to 17th January 2023, under “Swachhata Pakhawada”, to propagate the cause of safer roads for all. We at Greenwood High School, Manchirial branch did our part to educate laymen on ROAD SAFETY.
Our students excuted a a rally with slogans on road safety.
As it is quite common that people never pay attention for regular things, our students performed a MIME to illustrate how carelessness causes lives. And also a Flash mob to emphasize various measures that people should take to comply with the government’s safety regulations and keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
We travelled to the state of Punjab from Mathura on 14th December night. It was a night long journey. The children relished this long journey mixed with nice sleep in the cosy comfort of the luxury bus and were not tired at all. We all reached Amritsar on 15th by 01.00 p.m. From there we travelled to one of the key landmarks of the Indian Freedom Struggle; Jallianwala Bagh. We visited the Museum, watched the Laser show at Jallianwala Bagh. The Laser show depicted in detail the events of Massacre. By this we understood the historical importance of Jallianwala Bagh incident that intensified our Freedom Struggle.
The Historical Importance of Jallianwala Bagh
Presently this is a Historical Garden and a ‘Memorial of National Importance’. It is very close to the sacred ‘Golden Temple Complex’ in Amritsar, Punjab. It is preserved as a memorial for those brutally killed; the men, women and even the innocent children; and wounded in what is known as Jallianwala Bagh Massacre at this site on the festive day of Baisakhi on 13 April 1919.
Also known as the ‘Amritsar Massacre’, this marks the brutality and cruelty and inhumane nature of the British Rulers. On that fateful day General Dyer, attacked and ordered firing at a crowd of people, protesting peacefully against the Rowlatt Act and arrest of pro-independence activists Saifuddin Kitchlew and Satyapal. Unfortunately, this place was densely surrounded by buildings and had only one exit which was blocked by the forces of General Dyer. Thus, when the firing was started people had no way to escape. Many succumbed to death and several injured fatally. It was so disheartening to recall that the firing continued without any break till the ammunition was totally exhausted. This incident shocked each and everyone. Rabindranath Tagore was so moved that he renounced his Knighthood in protest of this British brutality.
GOLDEN TEMPLE
The Golden temple is famous for its full golden dome, it is one of the most sacred pilgrim spots for Sikhs. The Mandir is built on a 67-ft square of marble and is a two storied structure. Maharaja Ranjit Singh had the upper half of the building built with approximately 400 kg of gold leaf.
Maharaja Ranjit Singh, after founding the Sikh Empire, rebuilt it in marble and copper in 1809, and overlaid the sanctum with gold leaf in 1830. This has led to the name the Golden Temple. The Golden Temple is spiritually the most significant shrine in Sikhism.
At 06.45 in the evening, we started walking towards the holy “Golden Temple” from the Jallianwala Bagh with heavy hearts to get the solace in the blessing of the Holy Sikh Guru. We all entered the temple strictly following the religious dictums of Sikhism; tying a holy cloth; turban around our heads and dipping our feet in the holy water in the temple complex.
The Golden temple is a Gurudwara, an eminent spiritual and holy place of Sikhism. We also visited Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, in Kartarpur and Gurudwara Janam Asthan in Nankana Sahib.
By 09.00 p.m. that day, we moved to a comfortable hotel for a sumptuous dinner and a goodnight’s sleep in comfort.
Bhagwan Valmiki Tirth Asthan
On 16/12/2022, at 08.00am in the morning we all started towards the famous Bhagwan Valmiki Tirth Asthan at Amritsar.
Bhagwan Valmiki Tirth Asthan is a Temple Complex; an important historical monument dedicated to Maharshi Valmiki’s located on Bhagwan Valmiki Tirth Road, about 11 km west of Amritsar city. There is an 8-foot-tall, 800-kg gold-plated idol of Sage Valmiki in this complex.
According to the Hindu Mythology, this temple dates back to the period of Ramayana. This placed is believed to be the erstwhile Ashram of Sage Valmiki. It is the very place where Sadhvi Sita was given shelter and the children of Lord Rama were born. It is the place where the epic Ramayana was written by Rishi Valmiki. Close to this place is Ram Tirth, where Lord Rama’s forces were defeated by his own sons; Lava and Kusha.
Wagah Border
We started moving towards the Wagah Border(Attari Border) at about 1.30 p.m. and reached there by 03.00 p.m. which is almost 32 Kms away from Amritsar.
Wagah is the international border between India and Pakistan; an army outpost on Indo-Pak border – between Amritsar and Lahore. It is an elaborate complex of buildings, roads and barriers on both sides of India and Pakistan.
We are fortunate to witness the pomp and pageantry of the ‘Beating Retreat’ a remarkable ritual followed here on each and every day. This marks the change of guard at both sides within the handshaking distance of the Indian and Pakistani forces. Soldiers from both the countries perform a perfect drill and march, thus going through an exciting and hair rising procedure followed by the bringing down of their respective national flags. As the sun goes down, nationalistic fervour rises and lights are switched on marking the end of the day amidst thunderous applause patriotism. This spectacular array would certainly last in our hearts for a life time.
Makar refers to the Zodiac sign of Capricorn, while Sankranti means transition. The festival ‘Makar Sankranti’ celebrates the Sun’s shift into the zodiac sign of Capricorn. It is celebrated in reverence to the deity Surya (sun). It is observed each year in January. It marks the first day of sun’s transit into the Makara (Capricorn) and marks the end of the winter solstice. Being a festival that celebrates the solar cycle, it usually falls on the same Gregorian date every year. This festival officially announces the beginning of spring. The festival highlights the importance of pulling back unethical and unhealthy behaviors while practicing peaceful and positive ones instead.
The three days festivities are known by various names such as “BHOGI”,SANKRANTHI and KANUMA.
Abhyaas the global school celebrated pre- ‘Sankranti’ with great pomp and splendour where students came in colourful traditional Indian dresses. All the students and teachers decorated a village hut with motifs related to Sankranti, colourful rangolies and flowers.
Bommala Koluvu was arranged with images of Gods, toys, and dolls that were brought by the students.
The celebrations were started by the Principal and parents by lightening the bonfire as a symbol of discarding outdated things and ideas welcoming new things and new ideas to prosper.
Next, kids of Nursery, LKG, UKG, Classes 1 and 2 were blessed by their Principal, teachers and parents with auspicious akshantalu, coins, berry fruits and flowers as a tradition of BHOGIAPPLLU POYADAM.advertisement

Students were reminded about the facts and celebrations related to Sankranti. They were told about the significance of each day – Bhoghi, Makar Sankranti, Kanuma and Mukkanuma.
Students in different attires of BUDABUKKALA VADU, KOMMA DASARI,PITTALA DORA, HARIDASULU, SODAMMELU, had filled the ambiance with laughter with their funny way of TRADITIONAL BHIKSHATANA.
Students danced around Gobbemmalu that were placed on colourful rangoli with the accompaniment of songs sung related to GOBBILLU.
Later, to enhance the festivities in the children, a few students dressed up to represent Suryadeva, Goda Devi, Shakuntala, Vanadeveta, Farmers and village women.
Fun did not end there, many cultural activities were performed by each class students on the theme of SANKRANTHI.
The celebrations ended with KITE flying and RANGOLI competitions.
A solid understanding of milestones and developmental pathways across each domain of children’s development can benefit teachers as well as parents in several ways.
Knowledge of how children within a given age span typically develop and learn provides a general framework to guide teachers in preparing the learning environment, considering curriculum, designing learning experiences, teaching and interacting with children.
Also important for parents to know the sequences in which children gain specific concepts, skills, and abilities, building on prior development and learning familiarity, for the better understanding of their wards learning abilities.
Knowledge of child development and learning provides the best foundation for planning for children.
Knowledge of individual child, and knowledge of family, community, and culture from which the child comes helps to understand the individual needs.
Knowing what is typical at a certain age is the best place to start when experiences and environments are planned for children. Plans based on typical child development and learning meet the needs of the majority of children, then make changes to accommodate individual children who may be ahead or behind.
Knowledge of child development and learning helps to plan next steps for supporting children’s progress.
Knowledge of the sequence of knowledge or skill development in any given area helps schools to set achievable, appropriate learning goals for children. It also helps to plan activities and experiences that challenge children just enough to progress without frustrating them with a challenge that is too far beyond their abilities.
We continually expand our own knowledge of child development and learning, and apply that knowledge when we plan and make decisions in their program, can feel confident about their practice. We also have a solid foundation when we explain our decisions and practices to parents and colleagues; a foundation that goes beyond personal opinion or feelings.
How do Social and Emotional Development Affect Learning?!
There is no doubt that social emotional learning teaches character. Social-emotional competencies empower kids to grow self-aware and confident, to manage difficult emotions and impulses, and to embody empathy, which translates to not only improved behavior but also test scores.
Character matters
Character can be taught
Character improves academic, social, and professional achievement
By providing a kind environment, it helps to encourage optimal brain development as well as social connection and collaboration. In other words, it affects learning by shaping children’s developing neural circuitry, particularly the executive functions.
As children feel safe and learn how to inhibit disruptive emotional impulses, they exhibit greater self-confidence, better behavior and enhanced memory. They enjoy the learning process and thus, readily engage and fully immerse themselves in gaining new information and skills.
Every New Year begins with one of our major festivals; Sankranthi. It is not a hyperbole if one says Rangoli is synonymous with Sankranthi. A month-long physical exercise for the young ladies early in the morning is indeed a blessing for them for improving their health. What physical exercise? Yes, your guess is right, embellishing mother Earth with colourful Rangavallulu, Rangoli each day for a month.
Greenwood is always the first in upholding the cultural values, tradition and heritage. Every year marking the advent of Sankranthi, a Rangolicompetition is held in School for the girl children.
This year this competition was held with lot of enthusiasm, cheer and joy in front of the Girl’s Hostel on 03.01.2023. As many as twenty teams of six girls each took part in this competition exhibiting their creativity, skill and artistic talent. Their knowledge of colour combinations and blending the tradition with the present is highly commendable. All of their colorful designs are indeed a feast to the eyes of the onlookers. Sure, Mother Earth has felt extremely happy and blessed all the contestants.
The winners? We got to wait to know till the Republic Day Celebrations on 26.01.2023.
At the end of the competition, our beloved Director Sri. Dr. Girrem Bharadwaja Naidu garu,Academic Principal Sri. VVV Naveen Kumar and Administrative Principal T. Pavan Kumar congratulated all the participants and praised their talent.
It has been a tradition in Greenwood to bid Good Bye to the bygone Year and Welcome the new year with a lot of fervour. And the 31 December 2022 was no exception to this.
Elaborate arrangements were made to celebrate this event with lots of pomp and gaiety. The children under the guidance of the Greenwood Art and Craft Department decorated the stage so well to set the stage for a wonderful event.

Shaik Rabbani garu, The Academic Principal Sri VVV. Naveen Kumar and the Administrative Principal Sri T. Pavan Kumar graced the function by their presence.
The first ladies of the school, Smt. Jyothi garu and Smt. Padmasree Garu has added the rainbow colour to this lovely occasion by their gracious presence. The very presence of these eminent ladies and gentlemen itself brought in the much-deserved festive look to the Greenwood Open Auditorium.
This ceremony was started with the auspicious prayer invoking Lord Ganesha by rendering the shloka ‘Sukhlambaradharam’ by a group of girls. This was followed fittingly by a Welcome Dance, ‘Aigiri Nandini’ by Kushi and her friends.
And then the cloud burst of many dances and songs and lots of fun and cheer marked the rest of the program. The following list shows the extensiveness of this program presented by the Greenwood Children.
Many a time the audience had to hold their breath in wonder and surprise at the talent exhibited by our children.
Soon after the excitement of the dances is over the excitement of the sports set in. The major event of the sports ‘The Winter Sports Carnival’ was conducted from 14-11-2022 to 19-11-2022. It was very fitting that the winners of the individual events, group events belonging to all Houses (Agni, Brahmos, Prithvi and Trishul) were felicitated with a lot of grandeur.
A very transparent and meticulous system was followed by the Department of Sports and games in deciding the winners by giving a very fair chance to one and all. The winners of each event was awarded five points, the runners up three points and those in the third position got 2 points. The cumulative total points were taken into consideration in deciding the Overall Winter Sports Carnival Championship of the school.
Certificates and medals were distributed to the all the winners. It may not be exaggeration if one says that light lit on the faces of the winners at that moment was brighter than the Neon lights used to light up the Open Auditorium.
Our beloved Director, Dr. G. Bharadwaja Naidu lauded the efforts of the Physical Education Teachers for having conducted the Winter Sports Carnival with thumping success.
When the clock struck 12 as a ritual, the Cake Cutting was done by all the eminent dignitaries. This was followed by the exchange of ‘New Year Greeting’ among one and all.
Sri. Challa Dharma Reddy garu,our beloved Director while greeting the children advised them to focus on the academics as they have to take their examinations soon. He also wished a lot of good luck for them for their oncoming examinations.
Dr. Bharadwaja Naidu garu, the Stalwart of Education and our beloved revered Director, has commended the children in their efforts in making everything a success story in our school. He advised them to work hard for their oncoming examinations; the board examinations for the class 10 students and the Periodic Assessment 3 for the rest of the school. He further reiterated the fact that our school has got the best of the infrastructure and the students have got the advantage of the services of very good teachers who all well qualified and committed and are always ready to help the students in their studies.
Talking about the two principals, Sri. VVV. Naveen Kumar, the Academic Principal and Sri. T. Pavan Kumar, the Administrative Principal said that the School Management is extremely happy the way these two principals are coordinating and cooperating with each other and leading the school to greater heights. He also mentioned the fact that both these principals are of high standards of academic administration irrespective of their designations. He expressed the strong hope that under their administration the academics of the school certainly would scale new heights.
He further appealed all the teaching staff to put in their best efforts to push the standard of Greenwood Education a step up.
Thus Greenwood gave a fitting farewell to the year 2022 and a befitting welcome to the year 2023.
As we have entered into a new year, let’s just brainstorm, being elders, being parents, how could we have been better parents. Many a times, we elders will forget that our children will follow our actions rather than our words.
In such case, how could we be better role models than better speakers to our own kids?!
Here are the concepts of Japanese culture, which can help us to improve our life style and pattern, so that we could be the best role models to our children as well as to this generation students.
Japan is known as one of the best places to live as people of Japan understand what the correct way of living and its purpose behind.
# # Oubaitouri
Never compare yourself with anyone else. Everyone blossoms in their own time in different ways. Don’t judge yourself by someone else’s path.
“ou” means – Cherry blossom, “Bai” means – Japanese Apricot blossom, “Tou” means – Peach blossom, “Ri” means – Japanese prime blossom.
These all flowers blooms in spring but have each uniqueness’s and individuality.
We can be just the way we are. We all have potential and should brush-up it. There is no single way to establish yourself. There are no people who are no chance to contribute to the world. We all are different, we are all equal.
# # Kaizen
Continuously improve. Constantly strive to improve across all areas of your life. Small changes accumulate and make all the difference.
# # Wabi-Sabi
Embrace imperfection. Nothing lasts, nothing is complete. Accept your own flaws and those of others. Find beauty in imperfection.
# # Gaman
Have dignity during duress. Hard times need to be met with emotional maturity and self-control. We need patience, perseverance and tolerance.
# # Ikigai
Know your reason for being. Define the reason you get up in the morning. Make it something you are good at, passionate about and that the world needs.
## Shikita ga nai
Accept and let go. Some things simple aren’t within our control. Accept what you cannot change and move on.
# # Shu-Ha-Ri
Don’t be wasteful. Everything deserves respect and gratitude. Recognize the value in what’s around you and don’t waste it.
# Kintsugi #
Shu: Learn the basics by following the teaching of one master. Imitating the work of great masters also falls in this stage.
Ha: Start experimenting, learn from masters and integrate the learning into the practice.
Ri: This stage focuses on innovation and adapting the learning to different situations.
Repair cracks with gold. Imperfections are a thing of beauty. The journeys we all take are golden. Our flaws are embellishments that make us more beautiful.
# Omoiyari #
Show consideration for others. Life is better when we care for others. Be thoughtful. Build compassion.
Let’s try to adapt at least few from the above and be the best parents and mentors.
Years end is neither an end nor a beginning but a journey with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
WISH YOU A WONDERFUL, HAPPY, HEALTHY, PEACEFUL and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2023.
“Mathematics is a systematic effort of solving puzzles posed by nature”.
— Shakuntala Devi —
“MATHEMATICS is not about numbers, equations, computations and algorithms, it is about UNDERSTANDING” ___**-William Paul Thurston** ___
Over a period of time, some things will drop out of the public eye and vanish. But, Science, engineering, and technology will be with mankind till the end of the world. And the base is Mathematics.
Abhyaas the global school leaves no stone unturned in the quest for talented kids who may God willing bring laurels to our country. Keeping this in mind the Department of Mathematics has organized ‘Qubi Quest’.
Experience says learning mathematics can be made easier and enjoyable if our curriculum includes mathematical activities and games. Mathematics Quiz encourages, attracts, alerts and brings in an open-minded attitude among youngsters which helps them to develop clarity in thinking.
Mathematics quiz is a brief assessment used in education to measure growth in terms of knowledge, abilities and skills. It helps to enhance the interest among the students towards the subject and also creates a conductive environment to work in groups outside the classroom.
A little competition can inspire students to greater achievements. It challenges students to use their math skills in new and creative ways. It also provides challenging and engaging mathematical experience, both competitive and educational.
As a part of extended learning of Mathematics, “ Qubi Quest “was conducted in ABHYAAS The Global School. Students from across the 4 houses participated in this Quiz competition.
There were three levels, students who qualified in level 1, were selected to level 2 and level 3. There were three rounds in each level. The Main objective of the quiz was to encourage children to look beyond their textual knowledge and relieve the tension of their daily work routine. Children had a good team spirit wherein “small to big” all students were busy and giving tough fight to make their team win.
After a tough fight, the positions bagged by the 4 different HOUSES are as followed:
From Seniors category, Rishith and Badri, won the TROPHY for Emerald House.
From Super-Seniors category, Ameema Meher and Siddharth Varma of Ruby house snatched the TROPHY in a nail biting competition.
The Sub-juniors category involved little mathematicians; Ajit and Harshith have won the TROPHY for Ruby House.
From the Juniors category, Vyshnavi and Shanmukh have won the TROPHY for Diamond House.

All the children have talent hidden in them. Many times, this hidden talent won’t show up itself. It has to be unearthed and help the children achieve their potential to the fullest.
GN Foundation is one that makes an earnest effort to bring out the knowledge, ability and talent among the Greenwood Children. A yearly talent test is conducted by this GN Foundation in our School. This test comes with a bonanza of Tablets, Medals, Books and Shields for the winners.
Today in our school the GN Foundation conducted RMTH(REGIONAL MATHEMATICS TALENT HUNT) for the Greenwood students of classes VI through X.
The most interesting, if not attractive, part of today’s test is that it has come out within a very appealing format with a number of questions in different levels of difficulty; a true attempt to bring out the real champion and help the validation of the test for future use.
Today, being the test day, an atmosphere of excitement, enthusiasm and expectation has set in the school campus right from the morning. The outcome of this effort; the real champions of Greenwood, is eagerly awaited.

“Discipline is rarely enjoyable but almost always profitable” – Darrin Patrick
Discipline is considered a particularly valuable skill in students’ life, where they encounter tough situations on a regular basis.
People who are disciplined are also more likely to be able to focus on long-term goals and solutions rather than seek instant gratification.
This means that disciplined individuals will work hard to meet goals and they will continue to push forward even when working on tedious, boring or otherwise difficult tasks at their learning stages.
Not giving in to something is considered a sign of strength and leadership, and it’s commended and respected at all levels of societal interactions, especially at higher level tasks.
Self discipline can help students to achieve.
Self Control :Which helps them to adhere to the given task, therefore, they can get better with their efficiency.
Time Management: They can spend their time in doing productive works, can control their tasks and complete in advance, therefore they will have more time to spend with friends and family.
Reduces stress levels : It helps them to elevate their productivity levels and quality parameters as they have more time in hand. Also they can spend their time sharpening their skill sets by reading blogs, article, and reference books related to subjects.
One becomes a source of inspiration to their friends and peers. They look up to them for all the inspiration they need.
There are a lot many qualities and aspects required to taste success in our life. But of all, the quality of discipline supersedes as it starts from the ground level shaping our entire lifestyle and personality to the core.
Hence it is vital to realize and follow the importance of DISCIPLINE not only at schools but also during our personal endeavors, as it is easy to inculcate at their young age.

Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations and algorithms: it’s about UNDERSTANDING!
Right from LKG level, kids at Abhyaas the global school are encouraged to understand that Math’s is like going to the gym to keep our brain active and that without it there is nothing one can do in life.
Today, we at Abhyaas the global school have celebrated Mathematics Day in honor of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a legendary Indian mathematician whose contribution in the field led to the resolution of many unsolved theorems.
Parents, Teachers and students got caught up with the buzz as they visited the myriad stalls set up by kiddos from Grade 3 to Grade 9 to showcase their projects. All participants had a great day, racking their rusted brains at some stalls or sharpening them at some other stalls. Parents who came to attend the Parents Teachers Meeting were pleasantly surprised to see the budding mathematicians explaining their projects or encouraging their audience to participate in both the math activities and the fun games.
From understanding the intriguing Pythagoras theorem to a fun game of finding the day, if the date or month or year was given, the students of Class 9 entertained and educated people using novel ways and methods and the brilliant learners won the chance to play fun games
The students of Class 8 treated all present with a memory game on fractions, jigsaw puzzles using different shapes and finding squares and square roots of numbers by playing a shooting game.
Class 7 students helped their friends in identifying monomials, binomial and trinomials and also in finding the mean, mode and median in 3 different levels using play way methods.
The students of Class 6 enthralled their audience giving them chances to solve riddles by playing a ring game and brush up on their tables by using a dot board game.
Class 5 students endeared themselves by requesting their friends and teachers to play a game on comparison of fractions and matching fractions to their decimal form and the lucky winners transferred Thermocol balls from one bowl to another bowl with two toothpicks.
Grade 4 kids taught division through a division machine and they taught subtraction using flash cards.
The tiny tots of Grade 3 also chipped in to give an explanation of 2D or Flat shapes and 3D or Solid shapes.
A discourse the life and works of the Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan saw the culmination of a well planned event by the Mathematics teachers
Parents were so caught up with the excitement that they lamented on the fact that they were unable to visit all the stalls due to shortage of time because of their prior commitments elsewhere.
All students, teachers and parents enjoyed challenging themselves and each other at the Math fair

Special thanks to all the teachers of the English Department who encouraged and guided the students along this process.
The only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.
Since RED is the colour of Blood, it has historically been associated with “sacrifice”, “courage”, “bravery”, and “vigor”. To instill this quality in children, “’Red Colour Day” was celebrated today by the tiny tots of the Pre-primary wing of Abhyaas The Global School.
Teachers dressed in red, invited each of their kids who were in red too, with beautiful “Apple magic wands ”in their hands and “Cherry Bows” to their neck.
The festive mood started by inviting their loving Principal to their activity hall, with there’d roses, little RED Boys and Girls competed with each other to shower red rose petalson her to show their love.
Bright little Viraj Gangula of UKG, spoke about his favourite colour which is also a primary colour. You guessed it right, it’s Red Colour!
Red is bright and beautiful. Viraj said that it is found everywhere in many fruits like apples, cherries, strawberries, watermelons and pomegranates, vegetables like tomatoes and red chilies and in flowers like hibiscus and rose.
Pretty Relina Princess of LKG, spoke about a ‘Red Juicy Tomato’ that is a very healthy vegetable.
As there were many fruits, vegetables, flowers and toys displayed, Principal Ma’am played a little game of “Treasure Hunt” where she asked the kids to name any red coloured thing that was displayed in that hall, find and bring it to her.
Both teachers and students admired and enjoyed the red ambiance to their heart’s content.
An educational trip is very useful. It enables the students to visit different places. They learn many things when they go to various places. The educational trip enriches their knowledge and broadens their outlook.
This year Greenwood High School had organized an educational trip on 7th and 8th December 2022 for students of grade 6 – 8 .
The trip was divided into 2 days
( Day 1 : All the Grade 6th student and 2 section of 7th )
( Day 2 : All the Grade 8th students along with the other 2 section of 7th)
Students and parents were informed about the trip one week in advance.
Our ACO Harshavardha sir personally informed all the section of 6th 7th & 8th about the trip and the details that were to be kept in mind during the journey.
Students were told to bring snacks and lunch as the trip duration was 7 hours.

On the fixed days students had gathered in the school ground and boarded the bus at 9 o clock, along with their guide teachers. Five busses were allotted for the students followed by 2 guide teacher per bus. Finally We hit the road.
First, the students were taken to Regional Science Center which is 3.6 KM from school. There they saw many different experiments. working models, machines and theoretical projects as well.
What excited the students most was a machine where they could check their weights on different planets of our solar system.
They got to experience different illusions and see the model of a human DNA.
They also learnt how 3 Dimensional images actually look 3D and the theory behind it.
By the time the tour of the Science Center was done it was almost 12 o clock. Students had their snacks in the rest area, played some games and looked around, they also found some weight lifting equipment which were connected to science topics.
The second part of the tour began at 12:30 as the students boarded the busses and began the journey to Nagarjuna Milk Product Dairy which is approximately 30 KM from the Regional Science Center. It took us about 1 hour to reach the Dairy. As soon as the busses reached students and staff had lunch from 1:30 to 2:00.
Finally the tour of the dairy farm started. Students were divided into groups of 4 to enter the dairy and explore the process: How the milk is heated in bulk, how the sweets are made, how paneer is processed and stored. They also showed the equipments used for the chill room, where all the frozen items are stored.
After the tour, students purchased yummy and tasty flavored milk ( Badam and pista) and ate doodh peda sweet which was made fresh in the dairy. The manager treated the students with a glass of milk and biscuits after the tour.
We called it a day and 1st bus left the dairy around 3:15 followed by other busses in the interval of 5 minutes each. ACO Harshavardhan Sir and Srikant Sir guided the students all along and made the trip easy going.
Students really enjoyed the trip and learned many new things during the tour. They also made the journey to and fro really lively with many different games played throughout. It was indeed an unforgettable trip.
We thank the management for organising this Educational Field Trip for the students.
An exam tests how the student has performed on a distinct day. It is not a genuine source of grading a student’s knowledge and intelligence. If a student scores well all year but disappoints to perform well on the day of the exam due to any reason, would that mean lack of performance of the student or lack of knowledge of the student on that day? One should think of answering this themselves and then comprehend how fairly students are assessed based on a piece of paper.
Every year millions of learners around the globe take exams, and most of them work hard and struggle to accomplish good grades because they desire to prove they are the best. This competition encourages students to work harder and acts as a motivation for them. The most significant part is that students learn to manage competition which they are unquestionably going to face later in life.
Practical exams strengthen confidence and dispense the real picture of the individual. Learning and reading technical lines from the book can make the individual think that they are equipped to face challenges in life but practicing it in real life shows how much more they need to work.
In order to score well, students usually focus more on rote rehearsal and ignore the concepts. They do receive good grades, but the price is the reduced knowledge because, after some days, most students forget what they learned, and the effort of schools/colleges goes down the drain. This approach minimizes the practical capabilities of students. The grades these students gain in exams won’t guarantee success in practical life!
As soon as the season of the exam arrives, it brings stress and anxiety with it. The stress of scoring well in an exam and the anxiety of failing an exam can make life very challenging for students. Some stress is necessary to motivate students to study, but extreme stress can lead to increased blood pressure and other serious health issues.
During exams, the child may fear about receiving bad grades, which destroy their happiness. A distressed child is more likely to get depressed, and this can be very harmful to their health. Depression originated by exams can have a very adverse impact on the child’s being!
The learning capacity is different for every child. A significant problem caused by examinations is the comparison that is created between children/students, ignoring the fact that all individuals are distinct from each other. Some students learn new concepts efficiently, while others are more skilled at sports.
On the other hand, there is no doubt that Examination can energize students, rendering them motivation to learn things. Quite like games, exams also generate competition among students. Exams are a push and pressure that every student necessitates in life. Exams examine not only a student but also improve their knowledge.
Hence as parents and Educators, it is more important to strike a balance and create better learning environment for children both at School and at Home….

” India’s Constitution is the largest written constitution of the world. THE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES that are enshrined in the Constitution are the guidelines for the life of the people of India as it is a secular nation. It is really amazing that our Constitution was written in a short span of 3 years. I think no other country has such an achievement. That’s why Our Constitution became the largest written Constitution of the world. You the children, are the future citizen’s of our country.It is your responsibility, uphold the basic values of our constitution.
