Shiv Vani’s students Vaishnavi Tiwari, Arushi Sood of class XII & Arnav Mehta of class X

Here is Vaishnavi Tiwari’s report on the trip.

“It was the 1st of June,2017, when I along with my friends Arushi,
Arnav, and ten more sanitation club members from different corners of our
country, waved goodbye to the dusty heat waves of Delhi and prepared
ourselves to kick start our voyage to South Africa. Till then, we had merely
read about South Africa as a country in our history textbooks that was the
epicenter of the apartheid struggle. Thus, unaware about the dynamics of
this foreign land, we boarded our first international flight, thereby
commencing our first international journey. Filled with a strange upsurge of
questions in mind and a mission mode in heart, we were ready to play the
role of child representatives from India to participate in the International
Global School Sanitation Conference 2017, organized by Sulabh
International Center for Action Sociology (SICAS), South Africa.

It was indeed an excellent opportunity for us in terms of maximizing
our personal growth and gain insights on the topic close to our hearts-
School Sanitation and Hygiene. The International Global School Sanitation
Conference, a 3-day multinational school sanitation conference at
Franschhoek, Cape Town, South Africa, was organized as an effort to
accelerate the school sanitation program in a global paradigm and
encourage young learners to be instrumental in catalyzing change in their
respective communities from June 3 - June 6, 2017.

The conference intended to create a platform to evolve effective
strategies and ideas for confronting school sanitation and hygiene related issues pertaining to countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, South Africa and Vietnam.
The conference also proposed to formulate a collaborative approach to deal with the bottlenecks in providing sanitation and hygiene in schools, a challenge that has
assumed global importance over time.

The conference commenced on June 3 with the inauguration of the exhibition. Following the same, a three day learning and sharing experience took over a formal
start with an inaugural address by Hon'ble Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, Founder, Sulabh Social Reform Movement and keynote address by Shri Puneet Kundal, Consulate,
General of India and Representative from the Department of Basic Education. The first day of the conference was based on the theme “INSPIRATION” and thus, it was filled
with the presentations of some of the most eminent speakers in the sector that left the audience highly motivated and encouraged. Some of these speakers included Dr.
Bindeshwar Pathak, Founder and Chairman, Sulabh International; Mr Vuyani Mpofu, Member of Executive Council of Education, Gauteng Provincial Government and Ms.
Nicola Jowell, Sanlam, Blue Ladders School. Moreover, the efficiency of the day was enhanced by the gracious presence of Hon'ble Ms Ela Gandhi, who enlightened the
participants with her hands-on experience of cleanliness which was a very dear topic to Mahatma Gandhi himself. She was particularly overwhelmed by the presence of
young children and sanitation club members at the conference and reiterated the fact that young learners are the key to some of the most pressing challenges of the
contemporary world.

Based on the theme of “ENGAGEMENT”, the next day witnessed country wise presentations, which portrayed a clear picture of school sanitation and hygiene
status. Also the programme partners hailing from different fields of the society shared their experience of partnering with SICAS, and how they have been helping to
increase the momentum of such efforts. These included speakers like Mr Elias Masilela, DNA Economics and Mr Pragasen Ramiah, Chairman, Sulabh SA, who proposed
the 'Theory of Change' and elaborated its usage in bringing a sustainable change in the Asian-African community. School Administrators from different parts of South Africa,
also joined in sharing their success stories.

Participated in the International Global School Sanitation Conference in South Africa

On June 6, the conference concluded with brainstorming sessions and discussions which aimed to inspire and learn from each others' experiences in dealing with
challenges through effective and innovative methodologies. Following this, different countries made commitments which they would adhere to in the coming days. Countries
like Bangladesh, Nepal, South Africa and Vietnam made action- oriented commitments, with a special stress on the burning challenge of menstrual hygiene management in
their countries. Team India, on the other hand, planned to scale up the existing Clean India Campaign, and focused on promoting Community- Led Total Sanitation by adopting
innovative and effective triggering tools, with the active participation of children. The “Cape Town Declaration” was also signed by the esteemed signatories in the audience
and different stakeholders from the participating countries that was a way forward in formalizing their commitment to the cause of sanitation and laid a complete strategy to
accomplish sanitation related goals through a mutual and shared partnership.In its entirety, the conference was a great forum to connect with learners, educators,
academicians and sanitation experts from various backgrounds and an opportunity to learn and get inspired from each other's diversities, experiences and success stories. It
was an extraordinary association of committed and spirited learners from various nooks and corners of the globe, all at one place, united to move the mountains! And I'm
fortunate that even I acted as one of the significant forces in moving these mountains”.

“Their minds were not built to sit and be taught.
They were built to explore, play and learn”

Imagination is the door to possibilities. It is where creativity, ingenuity and thinking outside the box begin for child development.
Imagining, trying new ways of doing things and experimenting help to develop critical thinking in children and foster creative problem solving.
Keeping this in mind, the Junior school of Shiv Vani School has been playing a pivotal role by channelizing the energy of students towards
personality development through a multitude of co -curricular activities.
Since cognitive learning and physical activity go hand in hand and reinforce one another in early childhood development, we have adopted a
curriculum that emphasizes both and uses movement to promote cognitive development. Since young children do not like to sit still for long, we
have tried to conduct a maximum number of activities with them during the session 2016-2017.

The most challenging task for the teachers from Pre-Primary to Grade 1 is to retain a hold on the interest of the learners and keep the young
children absorbed in learning. To meet these challenges, our tiny tots always stayed on their toes for the activities like show and tell, craft work,
drawing and painting, pool party and celebration of special theme based days.

Our activities for the Junior school students are planned and designed to enrich their subject knowledge, vocabulary, problem solving skills
and also to develop great personality characteristics. We conducted subject fortnights where students enthusiastically participated individually as
well as in groups. Along with this, children were given ample opportunities to display their caliber and creativity during special assembly days and on
special occasions like Independence Day, Dusshera, Christmas and many more. Taking into consideration the importance of communicating
effectively, we organized various competitions considering the varied interest and skills of students. Children were found more energetic and
curious when it came to science and technology based competitions. Here we saw how confident our children are in handling technology. To prepare
our children for future roles and develop a positive identity in the society, value education is given equal importance in the curriculum.

As educators, the biggest achievement is seeing our students cross each milestone with confidence and success. We find incredible joy in
seeing the difference we create in them by fostering creativity, developing character and giving them the lens to view the world and provide them
with the skills they need to reach their potential and lead productive lives.

POST CARD MAKING

This interesting activity focused on spreading awareness through
post cards about the endangered animals and the importance of
protecting them. The activity was scheduled in the first two weeks of
August. Prior to making the post cards, students watched a Power Point
Presentation made by their friends on the census of endangered animals.
Information was also collected from the internet and reference books
which in fact developed their research skills. The post cards thus made
were posted to their friends and relatives. Students learned about the
names of animals that they were not familiar with before. They could also
experience the joy of making personalized post cards and posting them, a
long lost practice in this digitalized world.

VOCABULARY BUILDING ACTIVITY

To encourage students to learn new words related to endangered
animals in an interesting way, a vocabulary building activity was conducted
for class IV. All students of class IV participated in this as this was their
formative writing assessment activity as well. Puzzles on animals, jumbled
words, fill in the missing letter etc. made the worksheets interesting and fun-
filled along with paving the way to enrich their vocabulary and analytical
skills.

ROLE PLAY

Art and craft periods in August were spent in making various animal
masks in classes Pre-Primary to Class II. This hands-on activity helped
in developing kinesthetic skills. Once the masks were completed, a role
play was organized. Various endangered animals from India and
Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea were included. One
student donned the role of an animal, while the other gave a short
description about it. The role play activity was welcomed with cheer and
applause. Students of class II evaluated the performance of their team
mates which developed their evaluation skills.

POWER POINT PRESENTATION Creating the
Power Point Presentations
Students made Power Point Presentation on endangered animals. There
were four teams and each team was assigned a few endangered animals from
the selected countries. Team A selected Koala Bear, Green and Golden Bell
Frog from Australia, team B chose Gangetic Dolphin, Royal Bengal Tiger and
Black Buck from India, team C selected Tree Kangaroo from New Guinea, while
team D selected Kiwi and Kakapo from New Zealand. Each team collected the
required information about the habitat, food habits, threats and population
census from different sources like the Internet and reference books. Then they
compiled the information to make the Power Point Presentation. No doubt, this
activity helped in developing the research and analytical skills of students. The
Power Point Presentation thus made was shown through smart boards to all
students.

MAP MARKING

To develop spatial thinking and map reading skills, map marking
activity was conducted in class V during their Social Science classes. Students
gathered information about endangered animals of the selected countries. Class
discussions were also part of this activity. To conclude, a map marking activity
was conducted. Students marked the places where a particular endangered
animal is found on the outline maps of India, New Zealand, Australia and Papua
New Guinea. Students were familiar with countries like Australia, but to some of
them, New Zealand was a new name. Papua New Guinea sounded very new and
strange to all of them. It took them a while to learn its spelling and pronunciation.
Those who learned the spelling and pronunciation were seen helping others to
learn them. It was with much eagerness and interest that they did the activity.

International Collaborative Activity: A Small Step But a Big Leap

Classes involved: Classes VI-XII
Countries covered : India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya
Partner School: Happy Home O’ Level School, Karachi, Pakistan.

IN-HOUSE BUSINESS VENTURE

Students of Shiv Vani and Happy Home O' Level School, Karachi collaborated for
this activity. Both the schools started an organic kitchen garden. Besides the kitchen
garden, students also focused on various small scale industries like candle and
chocolate making, compost manure, paper bags and other craft items. Our school was
also a participant for the British Council's School Enterprise Challenge. Keeping in mind
both the projects, an exhibition-cum-sale of the in-house products was organized
during open house in the school campus. Organic manure sold like hot cakes. The
experience gained was shared with the partner school during the Skype session. In the
first Skype session, students of Shiv Vani with the help of teachers showed how to make
recycled craft products. In the second skype session students of Happy Home School,
after getting inspired by the Shiv Vani demonstrations, showed the products made by
them. Students of Shiv Vani grew spinach, cauliflower and fenugreek leaves while
students of Happy Home grew cauliflower, coriander and carrots.

Advertisement - Pamphlet Making

Advertisement of the new in-house business venture was done through the
distribution of pamphlets and circulars. Though pamphlets and circulars were
distributed, word of mouth acted as the best advertisement for the event. Families of
teachers, neighbors of students and members of local community etc came to see the
exhibition. For the students, it was great source of encouragement. They animatedly
got into conversation with the visitors explaining to them the hard work that they put into
organizing such an event. Some of the visitors also gave them tips and suggestions.
WhatsApp messages and other social networking platforms were also used in
spreading the news. Experience gained through this as well as through the exhibition
cum sale was discussed and shared with the students of Happy Home School.

Lost Cities Students making the documentary
"Lost Cities"
A team of class X students made a documentary on the islands and cities
that are likely to disappear if there is a rise in sea level. Students wanted to make a
unique presentation. They brain stormed for creative ways to make the
documentary. Then they decided unanimously on using Windows Media Player.
They sought the help of their IT teacher whenever they had doubts. Then adding a
commentary was another challenging task for them. Somebody came up with the
idea of giving subtitles and thus the documentary came into shape.

An inter-house declamation was scheduled in October. Since ISA project
was on Disaster Management, the topic for the declamation contest was also
kept as 'Lost Cities.’The documentary was shown on the day of Inter House
declamation contest on Lost Cities. Students of Jeonmin School and Bay View
School made their documentary films titled ‘Lost Cities’. The documentaries made
were exchanged and viewed by students of all the three schools.

Skit on “Who is killing our weavers”

Students of Class IX took the job of writing the script for the skit. Besides collecting
information online, they also consulted teachers who belong to different parts of India to
know more about the textiles of different states. Though the script writing took up much time
and intense research, casting characters and practicing for the skit was fun filled. The skit
was staged in the school auditorium before class VI-X students. Students took up various
roles starting from script writing, direction, deciding the costume, lighting, video shoot to
photography. The skit was widely appreciated for its sensible way of presenting a very
sensitive and relevant issue.

Mathematical Weaving- an exhibition Different weaves on display

An exhibition on products made by weaving was organized in the school
library. Students of both junior and senior schools visited the library to see the
exhibited objects. Though students of classes VIII and IX were mainly involved in
this activity, students of junior school also contributed to the exhibition. Using wool
and ice-cream sticks, they wove simple objects. The looms that were made
previously were also used for weaving. By now, some students have become
experts in weaving. They trained others and there was a lot of enthusiasm to learn
from each other. Teachers from all departments visited the exhibition and
appreciated the efforts put in by students. Some teachers expressed their wish to
buy some items. Students learned new terms related to weaving as well.

77

Weaving Beyond Boundaries -
Fashion Show

A fashion show on “Weaving Beyond Boundaries” was conducted as part of
Inter-house competitions. As the competitions were drawing to a close, this event
was seen as a deciding factor in the selection of the final victors. Students first
researched online to get an idea of the traditional wear of all the four countries. At first,
students focused on the other three countries. Later they found that India too has a
rich cultural tradition which most of them really do not know. One of the challenges
they faced was in putting up the right ensemble. Some could assemble everything
except a cap or a sandal, while some couldn't find the right accessories. Students
learned new words like cheongsam and qipao which are traditional Chinese dresses.

International In-House Activity : His Story Calling

Classes involved: Classes VI, VII & XI Countries covered: India, Egypt, Rome

Project Report

Computer Science and Web-tech students of Class XI were divided into teams.
They first read about the famous and important monuments of the countries. Students
suggested that they would like to do an online project rather than presenting a written
document. Getting permission from their teacher, they started the preparation.
Collecting information from various sources was one of the first things to tick off from the
'things to do' list. The next step was to avoid all unnecessary details and take the
important and relevant points. Then the information collected was arranged in a
systematic way and presented before the classes.

Create a Monument

Class VII students wholeheartedly and enthusiastically participated in
creating their own monument. Starting from referring to books in the library,
browsing the Internet for pictures of various monuments, making a floor plan for
their monument, getting raw materials to build the monument and finally finding a
unique name for it-each and every moment of the activity gave students a chance to
learn and share something new. A lot of team work and creativity was observed.
Students worked on this project during their History periods under the expert
guidance of their history teachers, Ms. Sushila and Ms. S. Paul. After the
completion of the monuments, they were exhibited in the library for students and
teachers to visit and appreciate. Later during the quiz competition, each team
explained to the audience in detail about the monuments they created.

Quiz Competition

Class VI students were involved in a quiz competition. Prior to the
competition, a Power Point Presentation on the monuments of the selected
countries were shown to students. History classes were spent on learning and
discussing about the monuments of selected countries. Stories behind the
monuments were explained. Learning the spelling and pronunciation of names of a
few monuments were a bit tough for the students at the beginning. But the eagerness
to learn new facts other than the usual textual lessons motivated students to face the
challenges and move forward. There were five teams representing five sections of
class VI. Each team had a fair share of cheer leaders as well. The competition saw a
lot of nail biting moments. There was an audience round as well. The activity not only
enhanced their knowledge of historical monuments but also made them appreciate
the rich cultural heritage of their country and the countries selected.

Pamphlet Making

Both class VI & VII were involved in pamphlet making activity which was one of their English
FA assignments. The pamphlets were made with much care as they were later to be distributed.
Each pamphlet carried a message on creating awareness on the importance of preserving our
monuments. There were splashes of colors and many thoughtful short messages on each pamphlet.
A lot of meticulous planning went with each creative output and each line of the message was first
discussed with teachers in order to avoid any errors. The Art teacher was consulted for the right
combination of colors and embellishments while the History teacher gave tips on selecting the
monument to be drawn.

Field Trip

The most interesting part of the December project was the field trip. It was
Principal Sir who decided the location of the field trip as Humayun's Tomb. A
team of students along with their teachers Ms. Karabi & Ms. Sushila carrying the
carton filled with pamphlets headed to Humayun's Tomb on one sunny morning
of January. Reaching the destination, students interacted with the visiting
tourists and distributed the pamphlets. They got a chance to converse with
people from different parts of the world. More than the fun of enjoying a day out of
the school, the activity made them confident and gave them a sense of
satisfaction and fulfillment.
