Editorial

Greetings, dear readers!
I feel happy and privileged to be a huge part of this e-magazine, ‘Reflections’.
Daffodils Foundation for Learning has always believed in being different. We have always wanted to cre-
ate a strong and sustainable social and moral foundation that will reflect our adherence to building a sound
base of dedicated and diligent human resource. Our children are the trailblazers who are groomed in an at-
mosphere that will always see them in good stead. This magazine will provide a glimpse into the creative,
refreshing and magnificent world of our children that shines through their articles and artwork. We believe
in tapping their immense potential and guiding them towards the right path.
The reports of the CCA activities give us a peek into some of the most unique and interesting events that
were conducted. These activities were put together with the sole aim of bringing out the talent of the chil-
dren and providing them with a platform where they could blossom. Petal by petal these beautiful flowers
of our school unfurled. The teachers proved to be the nourishing source of sunlight to these
flowers.

Why e-magazine?
As aforementioned, DFL believes in creating social awareness and towards this end, going paperless wher-
ever and whenever possible was one of the first steps initiated by us. Weaving into the children’s social
fabric the importance of maintaining the ecological balance, and becoming responsible and environmental-
ly sensitive individuals is the onus that the school is happy to bear. All the sweet memories of the children
and the activities they were involved in are beautifully preserved in this electronic medium that can be ac-
cessed easily. We have also factored in the durability of this medium to ensure a treasure chest of memo-
ries.
The magazine contains articles written by the children, parents, and teachers.
The Principal Mrs Sujatha Girish addresses a pertinent issue regarding the invasion of technology in the
childhood. Parents need to take cognizance of this burning issue and this article will nudge them in the
right direction.
The school counselor Mrs Usha Ravi has always been a beacon of light to the students and parents alike.
Here, she shares ‘Reading Tips’—some useful and practical strategies that can be employed by the students
for better retention power and also to fare well in the exams.
Dear readers, read, appreciate and encourage the school in its maiden endeavour. Happy reading!!

- Mrs Sunitha Girish

Good Study Habits for Children

We often find some students in class who are outstanding, high achievers and always seem to be
able to score incredible marks!!
This leaves you wondering ... is it their genes... or are they endowed with special skills..??
You are wrong!
It’s more likely that they are using better study strategies than you.
There are some good habits that these high achievers have consciously inculcated into their daily routine.
They follow these good habits regularly and meticulously.
Here are some ‘good habits’ that you can easily implement into your routine too:
1. Make a Plan: Sometimes the sheer volume of work can be overwhelming.

So make a simple list of ‘to do’ tasks. It helps you to prioritise, therefore helping you to complete
the most important tasks, first.
When you tick a task as complete, it reduces stress and motivates you to move to the next task.
2. Take study breaks: Many of you think that sitting down with your books for many hour s helps
you to cram and complete the work. However, studying for hours on end without taking any break
or intermissions can cause restlessness, lack of concentration, and reduced learning!!
So, interrupt yourself, take that break, and become a better learner!

A change of place, a short walk , a cup of some healthy drink etc. are the little things that you can
incorporate in your study sessions to relax the mind, break the monotony, improve concentration
levels, and ultimately assist your learning process.

3. Make notes: Making notes as you study keeps you active while lear ning. It also helps to avoid the
monotony of simply reading something. Your notes may include pictures, charts, tables, diagrams,
pyramids, etc.

Illustrations have been known to be powerful active learning tools and you will be surprised how
they can assist you to recall.

4. Ask questions (to yourself!): Questioning is an active lear ning tool and helps you to r estate to
yourself what you have just learned. It works as a repetition, and we all know that repeating some
thing frequently helps in retention.

5. Get enough sleep: When you r est well, your br ain str engthens the knowledge you have lear ned
during the day by assimilating (absorb) information.

So the better you sleep, the better you learn.

11

6. Create your own test! Fr om the segment that you have just studied cr eate your own simple
questions. (Make sure that they are not from your text book)
Give marks to each question and test yourself.
As a fun activity, share it with your friends and ask them to solve or answer the questions.
See how they respond and help them if required.

7. Review your recent marks: Look up your r ecent test/exam mar ks or answer paper s.
It will show up your mistakes.
Review why you missed the right answer. It will help you to understand many things like,
Did you not understand the question at all? or
Were you in a hurry and therefore made some minor errors?
Did you not know the concept at all?
All these will highlight your weaknesses and you can now, work on it.

8. Apply or experiment with what you have learned: When you under stand something,
you must also know what you can do with it. Take the help of your teachers or parents, if required.
Eg: As a student of standard 6, you will be studying ‘Water cycle’.
This chapter may help you understand the water distribution on Earth.

In consultation with adults, see if you can study the water distribution and consumption in your school
or home.
What is your discovery?
What can be your contribution?
By adopting the ‘Good habits’ mentioned above, your study skills are sure to improve.
All the best!

OUR LITTLE WORDSMITHS

Umbrellas
Umbrellas on a Rainy Day,
Make things look so Bright and Gray,
Black, blue, green or red,
Held up high on every head!
Umbrellas on a Sunny Day,
Are useful too, the elders say;
They save you from the Sun and heat,
As you go walking, down the street!

Shuchi H, 1 ‘B’ Save Water, Save Life
Water is precious as life,
Save water, save life.
Save this natural resource,
As our ancestors did.

To see the future generation growing,
Save water, save life.

If no water is left, no life will be left,
Living organisms will not exist,
Earth will become lifeless.

Earth is a beautiful planet having life,
Conserve it, save it.

We hear the screams Alas, the globe is warming
And feel her fear. And it’s really alarming.

Nurture the dedication Make the start right away
Of the little aspirant. To keep the problems at bay.

Thank you God for loving me.
Thank you God for caring for me.
Thank you God for a beautiful life.
Thank you God for a sweet home.
Thank you God for the gift of life.
Thank you God for the friends so nice.

Grandparents Recycling Song
Grandparents are as good as gold, Save, save, save your papers,
Reminding me of the days of old. Throw them in the bin.
Always greets me with a hug, We can help to save the Earth,
Never stern or cross or smug. If we all pitch in.
Delighting in the words I say, Save, save, save your bottles,
Proud of me in every way. Throw them in the bin,
Always with me when I am glad, We can help to save the Earth,
Rocking me when I am sad. If we all pitch in.
Every ‘ booo boo' given care, Save, save, save your cans,
Never ending love is there. Throw them in the bin,
Telling tales both true and tall We can help to save the Earth,
Super special one and all If we all pitch in.
Save, save, save your bottles,
Manyatha P S. 3 A Throw them in the bin,
We can help to save the
Earth,
If we all pitch in.

A STORY OF TWO FRIENDS
Ram and Shyam were best friends. They were living in a village surrounded by hills and greenery. One
day, Shyam said to Ram, “Let us go to the hills.” Ram agreed and both of them set off to the hills. Ram
was too excited. Shyam had warned Ram that they have to be careful while crossing the bridge. Ram said,
“I am very excited about crossing the bridge and wondering about what we could do on the bridge!”
While they were walking on the bridge, Ram could not control his excitement. He said, “Let us peep
down and see our house!” Shyam was worried. He said,“ NO! NO! Both of us will fall down if we do
that!” Ram did not listen to Shyam. He peeped down and alas! Lost his balance and fell down the bridge.
Shyam shouted for help and quickly tied a rope to throw it down the bridge. Ram held on to the rope and
slowly came up. He was badly injured, but had learnt a lesson. He was very happy that his friend Shyam
had saved his life just in time. The villagers had gathered and were very happy that Shyam had shown
great maturity and courage in saving his friend’s life. Ram was forever thankful to his friend Shyam.
Moral: A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Vibha Holla, 3 B

CHINTU

Chintu was a very intelligent and bold boy. Once, he bought some berries from a vendor. The vendor
gave him less than the actual quantity. Chintu, who was watching this, asked him, ‘Why are you giving
me less berries?’ The vendor cunningly said, ‘It will be easier for you to carry.’ Chintu quickly put some
money in the vendor’s hand and walked off. The vendor counted the money,called Chintu back and said,
‘You have given less money than the actual cost.’ Chintu sharply replied, ‘ Is it not easy to count, sir?’

THE GNAT’S FOLLY

A gnat was trying to sleep, but the roar of a lion disturbed him. ‘Please stop roaring!’ the gnat request-
ed the lion, ‘I can’t get any sleep.’ But the lion roared louder. The gnat stung the lion on the nose. The
lion, angered by this, tried to kill the gnat with his paws. But the gnat escaped easily. ‘I’ll sting you
again if don’t stop roaring,” the gnat threatened. ‘GROWL!!’ The lion roared and the gnat stung him
on the face this time. The gnat again flew away when the lion tried to crush him with his paws. As the
lion fled the scene, the gnat was overjoyed with his victory. ‘I’ve defeated the King of the Jungle!’ the
gnat exclaimed. He flew away hastily to give this news to his other friends. But in his rush, the gnat
got caught in a spider’s web. As the spider ate him up, the gnat thought, ‘I should have been on my
guard. Sometimes a small enemy is more dangerous than a mighty one.’

A Trek to Brahmagiri

“One's destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing things.”-Henry Miller

This year, the class trip for the 7th graders was a trek to the peak of 1478 mt. tall ‘Brahmagiri’. It was or-
ganized on 4th August 2018. At 6 a.m., we were all there at our school main ground, excited! We were
accompanied by Susheela ma’am, Vidhu ma’am, Vasanth sir and Sandhya Bondhade ma’am.

We departed from the school at 6.45 AM. On our way, most of my friends danced to the rhythm of their
favorite beats. Though it was a 2 hour long journey, the enthusiasm ticked the time in jiffy. We stopped
by and had our breakfast in a small restaurant. We reached the foothill at 8.10 a.m. The India Hike team
gave us the eco bags to collect waste on our way. They also gave us a few instructions about the trek. We
started the trek at 8.35AM. On our way we had a bonding time with each other along with some funny
stories narrated by the India Hikes time. The Sun was shining bright over our heads by the time we
reached the peak. We got to listen to the thrilling experiences of our guides during their trek to “The
Himalayas”. We started our descent after a few minutes. The descent was a little tougher as it was slip-
pery and also our feet were heavy because the trek was coming to an end.

Half way through the guides also gave us basic instructions about rock climbing which
was interesting. We reached back to our bus at 1.10 PM. With growling tummies we
barged into “Nandi Upachaar” for a sumptuous lunch.

Even though we were tired, we played Antakshari on our way back to school. A won-
derful trekking experience came to an end when we reached school at 4 PM.

Multi Teacher Approach in Chemistry The Other Side

Hi everyone. One day, a young Buddhist on his journey

In the same way, we conducted many fun experiments

principal and the science department for making our

Moral Values are a Must in a Student’s Life.

Moral values are the good values taught to help people lead a disciplined life. Moral values include
good habits such as patience, punctuality, honesty, tolerance, kindness, and respect towards elders. A stu-
dent’s life is full of challenges. It is thus important that a student learns these moral values to lead a better
life. Moral values help to know what is good and what is bad. The decisions they make reflect the values
they have learnt. Values are a key to a meaningful life. Without values life would be full of chaos. People
judge us on the values we have. You cannot choose the values. They are already in place and you have to
accept them. Moral values influence our lives.

Once a student accepts and learns the moral values, it will remain in their heart and will al-
ways remind them to do the right things. Moral values cannot always be explained, it has to be under-
stood and felt by heart as well. I would like to conclude with one of Albert Einstein’s popular quote –
“Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value”.

An Interschool Creative Writing Contest was held in the month of October. 26 schools of Bengaluru
participated in this contest. The age groups and themes were allotted accordingly. Preksha Mahesh was in
group three and the theme was Mystery. It was conducted by author Ilika Ranjan. Preksha Mahesh won
the third prize in the Mystery genre for her story ‘Golden Five’.

GOLDEN FIVE
This story is when horses were used extensively and were of a great price in India. Amongst the beautiful
horses lived Kava. She was always active and healthy. She won many prizes for her master. Her master
was an old woman named Gandhari. She lived in Khushinagar. Khushinagar was less populated and so
had fewer children. They were just five kids but as brave as their ancestors. They were Rama, Raja, Patta,
Sita and Maya. Their fathers had to travel everywhere for earning money. They loved solving mysteries.
The mission they were working on was to identify the horse thief. Someone was stealing the horses of the
city for a very long time.
Once the children were travelling with their fathers. They were in the outskirts of the city. It was pitch
dark then. They were discussing their mission when they heard a horse’s neigh and people laughing.
They thought it was a ghost. Raja, Rama, Sita and Patta started chattering. In a nutshell everyone was
scared but Maya. She was immersed in her thoughts. Their fathers calmed them down. After two days
they were back . Maya secretly explained the other children ‘What we thought was the ghost was actual-
ly the horse thief. Remember we heard a horse’s neigh and most of the thefts occur in the night….’ That
is when they heard Gandhari shouting ‘My Kava is stolen! Help me’. The children rushed to her and
calmed her down. After that they decided to go for a camp in the outskirts of the city with Arya
chacha . Arya chacha always played with them. Actually, it was their plan to check if he really was the
horse thief. They didn’t tell their parents about their mission. So, the next day they were off to the out-
skirts. As playful they were in the morning they were as alert in the night. They hid behind some bushes
and were as quiet as mice. Their plan had worked ! A person arrived with some dizzy horses and waited
for a while. Another person came who looked like an outsider and greeted in another language. He took
the horses and gave him lots of money. They laughed for a while and went away. This meant that the per-
son was exporting the horses. Without waiting a minute all of them caught the cheat and Raja sprayed salt
water in the cheat’s eye. They tied his hands and legs to a tree tightly. They kept an eye on him the whole
night.
The next day they pulled him by the rope and took him to the king. The king was shocked. They threw
the cheat into the prison and also caught his partner. The horses were returned back to their masters. For-
tunately Kava was saved too. Everyone praised the children.
The same night a feast was held for the children. They were also awarded the title the ‘GOLDEN FIVE’
from the king.
Remember, this only happens due to man’s greed for money.

Living lakes

Lakes hold almost 90% of Earth’s liquid surface fresh water- a natural resource on which all life on land
depends. Millions of lakes dot the face of the planet at different elevations India’s Gurudongmar Lake
which is perched at an altitude of 17,100 feet in Sikkim is one of the world’s highest lakes. Interestingly,
the world’s lowest lake The Dead Sea in the Middle East is located at 1,300 below the sea level. Most
freshwater lakes, however, are located at high altitudes.
Lakes vary greatly in size. Some measure only a few square metres, while others are so big that they are
called seas! In fact the mildly salty Caspian Sea is the worls’s largest lakes. Lakes are fed with rain,
snow, melting ice, streams and groundwater seepage. Most lakes contain freshwater. The world’s oldest
and deepest lake is Siberia’s Lake Baikal. The lake contains one-fifth of the world’s freshwater. It also an
outstanding variety of flora and fauna- 30% of which cannot be found anywhere else on the planet! Big
or small, lakes nurture life by providing critical floral and faunal habitats and harbouring large numbers
of species that exist nowhere else on the planet.
Lakes are among the most valuable and most beautiful of the planet’s resources. Regrettably, despite their
immense importance, the world’s lakes are facing a crisis, mainly due to thoughtless human activities.
The now acidic, lifeless lakes of Scandinavia are examples of the effect of inconsiderate human activities
on these fragile resources. Lakes are one of the planet’s most important freshwater resources providing
water for domestic, agricultural and industrial uses for much of the world’s population. If we want the
world’s lakes to continue to provide the many benefits that we receive from them today it is imperative to
keep them clean and free from pollution.

WOULD YOU BELIEVE, OXYGEN IS SLOWLLY KILLING US??
In the morning, you buy apple and eat half of it and store the other half so that you can have it in
the evening. But when you see in the evening the half apple will be brownish in colour. Have you
ever thought why this happens? The reason is oxidation. It is because of oxidation that iron gets
rusted. We get wrinkles and looked aged is because of oxidation.
But what is oxidation? Oxygen needs to have 8 electrons in its outer shell, this is called the octet
rule. But it has only 6 electrons, so it is always searching for 2 electrons, it mostly pairs with hydro-
gen and this forms water (H2O). So, the process in which hydrogen loses 2 electrons because of
paring with oxygen is called oxidation process. This is how energy is created in our body.
97% of the oxygen we breathe is used to produce energy, while the other 3 percent of oxygen pair
with one molecule of hydrogen will turn into –oh iron, these are called free radicles. These mole-
cules try to pair with other electrons. It also continuously tries to pair with proteins, fatty acids etc.
in our body. During this process it changes the structure of the molecule. These molecules turn out
to be against the immune system. To control the free radicals in our body we can take anti-oxidants.
Anti-oxidants are rich in beans, spinach, amla and also in dark chocolate. These anti -oxidants neu-
tralise the free radicles and slow the ageing process. Oxygen is half hero ,half villain.

TEACHERS’ TALK & REPORTS

Edmodo

Edmodo is one of world largest network offering a communication, collaboration, and coaching plat-
form to schools and teachers. The Edmodo network enables teachers to share content, distribute quizzes,
assignments, and manage communication with students, colleagues, and parents. Edmodo is very teach-
er-centric in their design and philosophy.

day, they are getting all the updates from the school in a fraction of second.
Circle time, activities done in the class, mark list of the students, programme of work, latest events and
circulars are being shared with the parents through Edmodo. This helps the parents aware of things hap-
pening in the school. Every time a message sent by the school the parents get an alert on their phones.
This technology is easy to use and eco- friendly as well.

to put in pleasure as much as possible into the
math lesson. - Mrs Rajambal

For few children, math skills come naturally. For
others, mathematics is tough and boring. There are
different approaches that can make math classes
fun, exciting, and easy to learn. The best way to
support a child’s learning of math is to have fun
with numbers. Children should know that math is
not abstract but has a role in daily life. By incorpo-
rating more games, innovative assessments, and a
good attitude to learn we can change the spirit of
the math classes.

Teaching mathematics is not an easy job. A maths
teacher must bear in mind many factors - the chil-
dren with individual differences, aims and objec-
tives of Maths, selection of teaching methodology,
etc. Besides having command over the subject and
knowledge of methods of teaching, a maths teacher
must be well versed with diverse ways of applying
Mathematics in other subjects, life, etc. This makes
teaching of Maths momentous and motivating for
the students. A mathematics teacher should be an
innovative thinker. He/ She must be able to sug-
gest alternatives to certain procedures or rules to
his/her students to give wings to their creative
thinking.
Mathematics is a subject of great educational value
and plays a vital role in our lives.
It has many practical applications and is needed at
every stage of life. A person belonging to any class

teaching aids. It is difficult to discard the traditional
aids as they are user friendly and serve as excellent
tools in teaching.

It is evident that in Daffodils Foundation for
Learning, under the guidance of our Principal, Mrs.
Sujatha Girish, each and every child is exposed to
both traditional as well as modern teaching aids. I
strongly voice out that our aids are a perfect blend of
both. The management of the school has been benev-
olent to equip the teachers with all the modern aids to
make learning fun for the students. Introduction of

The different genres are dependent on the geography - Mrs Hema Jayaram
of an area and also to one extent, the history too. For
example, Carnatic Music is a form of formal guided
music that is based on a set of tenets derived from
Sama Veda more than two millenniums ago and has
been prevalent in the south of India. The associated
instruments also are mentioned in ancient Indian texts
and some of them are prominently found and played
in the south of India. On the other hand, the genre of
Hindustani classical owes its genesis to the northern

A Report of the Events

Workshop on Capacity Building Programme on Inclusion and Inclusive Strategies
“If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way that they learn.” – Ignacio Es-
trada
The workshop organized by the CBSE, Headquarters / Centre of Excellence, Chennai was mainly intend-
ed to bring awareness about the inclusive education offered by the board. The speakers Mrs. Geethika
Kharola and Mrs. Shweta Sharma did an excellent job in introducing the need and importance of inclu-
sive education in the present society through a series of activities.
Disabilities defined in RPWD Act 2016 were discussed in detail, where the participants had to present
power point presentations to support their point of view.
Emphasis was laid on the importance of the school providing the necessary infrastructure for the differ-
ently abled children along with having exclusive counselors and special educators to cater to the needs of
the children. Teachers were made aware of the Right of Persons with Disabilities A ct 2016, which says
that the school buildings, campus and various facilities should be accessible to persons with disability.
The workshop concluded with the hope that all schools will be able to create a barrier free environment,
sensitize the teaching and the non- teaching staff, relook at the admission of CWSN, educational assess-
ment, subjects selection by the students, peer sensitization, provide assistive devices, take help from ex-
perts and provide reasonable accommodations in examination.

knowledge.
Chinmay.Pattar
Chanakya said, F/o Dhruv.C.Pattar, I B.
'Knowledge is like a holy
kamadhenu cow. It bears fruits
in all seasons. In foreign land it protects and re-
wards us. That is why it is considered as an in-
built secret treasure' Kamadhenu is a cow men-
tioned in the Indian scriptures. It is believed to
have given endless streams of milk and fulfilled
everyone's wishes. So, in this case, investing our
time in reading books gives us endless returns.

There is a famous saying - Give a man a fish, he
will eat for one time. Teach him how to fish, and
he will eat for the rest of his life. Therefore, by
gaining knowledge we build a way of life which
can enrich us with so much wisdom that no crisis
can stop us.

Share and exchange your knowledge-
Every person has a different understanding of what
she/he grasps. For example, take up a small fun
project with your friends where you exchange
book reviews. If there are four members, let each
of them read and study a different topic in the
book. Let each person make a presentation of their
'book review' to others. It will broaden your under-
standing of other person's perception and vice ver-
sa. I am a proud parent to share that, this initia-
tive is already being put into practice at our DFL
school which promotes the idea of knowledge
exchange during 'Circle time' discussions.

Mindfulness

In today’s fast paced world, all of us undergo stress and stress is a fact of life. Managed stress can become
useful and healthy but unmanaged stress can become distressful and unhealthy. As students we undergo
stress to complete our homework on time, cope up with the class and different subjects and complete huge
portions before and during exams.
Stress reduction is often an effect of mindfulness practice. The goal of mindfulness is to wake up to the
inner workings of our mental, emotional, and physical processes.
Now, what is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a natural quality that we all have. It’s available to us in every moment if we take the
time to appreciate it. It is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what
we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.
To practice mindfulness we don’t need to buy anything. We can practice anywhere, there’s no need to go
out and buy a special cushion or bench—all we need is to devote a little time and space to accessing our
mindfulness skills every day. Mindfulness is the practice of returning, again and again, to the breath. We
use the sensation of the breath as an anchor to the present moment. And every time we return to the breath,
we reinforce our ability to do it again.
Here’s a short practice to get you started:
1. Find a place to sit that feels calm and quiet to you.
2. Set a time limit. If you’re just beginning, it can help to choose a short time, such as 5 or 10 minutes.
3. Notice your body. You can sit in a chair with your feet on the floor, you can sit loosely cross -legged,
in lotus posture, you can kneel—all are fine. Just make sure you are stable and in a position you can
stay in for a while.
4. Feel your breath. Follow the sensation of your breath as it goes out and as it goes in.
5. Notice when your mind has wandered. Inevitably, your attention will leave the sensations of the
breath and wander to other places. When you get around to noticing this—in a few seconds, a minute,
five minutes—simply return your attention to the breath.
Be kind to your wandering mind. Don’t judge yourself or obsess over the content of the thoughts you
find yourself lost in. Just come back.
That’s it! That’s the practice.
Mindfulness is known to be effective in helping students achieve academic success in a variety of ways.
Practising mindfulness helps students to add balance to studies and play. Mindfulness helps to build bet-
ter mental health, emotion regulation, mood, empathy, confidence and self-esteem, coping and social
skills, and ability to pay attention, focus and perform.
Mindfulness can even help children deal with bullies! Bullying victims, suffer from inferiority complex
and depression. Practicing mindfulness can protect children against inferiority complex and fight the
depressive symptoms that can arise from being victimized by bullies. Mindfulness training has been
shown to boost resilience in children and help them understand and regulate their own emotions.
And the most important gift of mindfulness to give children is a sense of positive self-esteem. Clearly,
mindfulness has some extremely positive impacts on both children and students at home and at
school. So let’s all practice the wonderful way of mindfulness and be better in all we do and become
good mindful citizens of the future.

Reading Record

The school has provided the children with reading records. The children can draw, write and use their
creativity to explain about the book they read. This book has indeed made the children read many
books and write reviews about them. They enjoy reading books supplied by the school library and
write reviews about them. This book has made the children to read more and more of books because
they are very eager to write or draw about the characters of the book. I would like to thank the school
management for providing this book.
