Principal's Message











"It takes something more than

intelligence to act intelligently."

~ Fyodor Dostoevsky







“We are committed and determined to redefine the cause of excellence in education.”


As the Principal of United World Campus, I feel honoured and privileged to be part of an
educational institution where every stakeholder is a learner and every day is an opportunity to

learn and discover. We look at ourselves as a community of learners, where everyone learns
including our students, teachers, parents & staff. We believe in upholding high standards with
an absolute commitment to strive to understand and improve the educational process, using
team strategies, while wholly centering on student achievement.



The new academic session 2022-2023 began with new hopes and expectations. It was a
delight to welcome the students back to school. The session for the pre-primary began on 25th
March22 and the primary section session began on 1st April 22. The staff and the students were
all geared up to take the new challenges in their stride. We stand ready to undertake the CMS
Vision 2025, which involves sweeping changes in pedagogy, teachers’ professional
development, improving assessment patterns, and incorporating global citizenship education,
it's a clarion call for our staff to adopt all these so that we can inculcate the 6Cs and make
future ready students.



Child’s learning involves and revolves around an effective partnership between home & school.
We know the stronger the partnership , the more the child will benefit. Keeping this in mind,
Parent orientation programmes were conducted for all the classes to brief the parents about
the new pedagogies and new assessment pattern. The students celebrated Vidya Ka Parv,

World Health Day, Ram Navmi, World Pet Day, Easter Day, Dr. BR Ambedkar Jayanti, Mahaveer
Jayanti, World Earth Day and World Malaria Day. The students also participated in special
assemblies and Spell Bee competition, Social Studies Quiz and Mental Maths Competition.


Our staff fruitfully employ two diverse strategies that are of Love and Logic to foster a positive
learning environment for all our students. While love helps nurture trusting relationships, where
students feel respected, appreciated and loved by the teachers, logic helps develop students

personal responsibility, self control, good decision making skills, self confidence, and character
building with high moral values.
Each child has a potential to learn and it is our endeavour to ensure that we achieve it as we
believe in “All students can learn and succeed, but not in the same way and not on the same
day”.– William G. Spady

Celebration













of Important













Days

RAM NAVMI




Ramnavmi is a Hindu spring

festival that celebrates the

birthday of Rama, the seventh

avatar of Vishnu.
The pre-primary section

celebrated the day with great

fervor and enthusiasm. The

children were dressed in
Traditional attire. The

celebration commenced by

telling the importance of
Ramnavmi in the Special

Assembly.

Later the children spoke a few

lines on Ramnavmi in the class.
Children enjoyed eating poori,

channa and halwa during their

lunch break and enjoyed the

celebration.
The primary section made

beautiful posters on this

auspicious occasion of Ram
Navmi.

WORLD SPARROW DAY




Sparrows play an important role in

environmental balance as they feed

their young ones with insects called

alpha and catworm. These insects
are extremely dangerous for crops.

They kill the leaves of crops and

destroy them. We will therefore lose

productivity, if this chain is
disturbed. But human activities

have disturbed the natural habitat

of this bird leading it towards its
extinction. If necessary steps are not

taken up we may not see “our

gauraiya” in the coming years.

To highlight this issue of concern,
World Sparrow Day was celebrated

on March 20, where students made

beautiful bird feeders to give

sparrows a place to live. This activity
also helped students understand

that every species has a very

important role to play in nature and
extinction of any will harm nature.

WORLD HEALTH DAY





World Health Day was celebrated at United
World Campus on 7th April 22 wherein students

were sensitized to remain healthy by eating
nutritious food, fruits and vegetables. The theme

for World Health Day 2022 is Our Planet, Our
Health.

A Special Assembly was conducted (both In Pre-
Primary and Primary) to make the students
aware about the importance of Good Health and

Well-being (SDG 3). The students were told
about the benefits of physical exercises by doing

Yoga. The Pre-Primary students also recited
rhymes, conveying the message of healthy
eating habits and the correct way of brushing

teeth and keeping the surroundings clean. A
talk on the topic Healthy Mind Dwells in a

Healthy Body’ shed light on the importance of
healthy eating habits, adequate rest and

hygiene was explained.
The pre -primary teachers did a role play where

they emphasized the importance of healthy
food. Students learnt about common health
problems, with an emphasis on good eating

habits and the importance of sports & exercise
in our daily lives. Students also pledged to keep

their mind and bodies healthy.

INTERNATIONAL LABOUR DAY







City Montessori School, United World Campus, celebrated

Labour Day on 2nd May 2022. On this occasion, students

energetic yoga followed by the prayer and
pledge. Thereafter, the presentation for Malaria
Day was taken up where Ms. Shubhi made an

what Malaria is, what are its causes, symptoms
and measures to prevent the same. The children

variable inputs.

The importance of hygiene in our life was again
drilled into the minds of children. They were
motivated to take care of themselves and their
family and friends. They were informed about

the small measures that can be taken as
precautions.

EASTER FESTIVAL




"The festival Easter has a very old history. The festival marks the joyful
end to the Lenten season of fasting and penitence. It marks the

Resurrection of Jesus three days after his death by crucifixion.

The children of pre-primary celebrated Easter by Colouring Easter egg
activity. The meaning of Easter was explained to children by showing

them videos and also the pictures were shown how they can make the

eggs colourful. They were given sheets with egg made on it and they

were asked to color.
The little ones had a perfect time and the glimmering faces looked so

spontaneous and excited. Such activities develop communication skills

along with community development, character education and the

fundamentals of culture belongingness.

EARTH DAY





“The Earth is what we all have in common.”

—Wendell Berry

the help of Jam board and props was

done to explain children how to be

safe on road and follow traffic rules.

Such activities develop

communication skills along with

community development and
character education.

NATIONAL PET DAY






National Pets' Day was celebrated at CMS UWS campus to

generate a feeling of empathy among the students towards the

pets, to let the students know how important pets are for us, and

they should be treated like a family because they are a part of our

lives but to the pets we are their life.

The pre-primary students brought their favourite animal soft toy

and eloquently spoke about it. A video was played by the teacher

to kindle the emotion in all the students. A child spoke a few lines

on his pet and also emphasized to look after stray animals. We

should always remember one thing that we humans can speak

about our pains, get it cured in some way or the other whereas the
animals cannot. So the assembly ended with a powerful oath that

we all should love our pets and give them ample amount of

warmth to live happily.

death anniversary of the great playwright, poet and writer William Shakespeare.
The day aims to promote awareness about the history, culture and achievements

associated with the language. This day is annually celebrated by the United

positivity and joyfulness. The workshop was organised for the

teachers for their own well-being, to remind them why being happy
and healthy is of utmost importance for everyone. The workshop

began with a calming song. Later on, it moved to more informal
communication among the teachers and also including the activities

like dance, music, laughter and pairing.
The teachers were guided to choose their partners and share

something they are looking up to in the coming year. With these
activities, teachers were able to open up their feelings to their peers.

change.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION DRIVE





It is rightly said by Mother Teresa, "If you can't feed a hundred
people then feed just one."

With this noble thought, we requested the parents to share one meal
with the poor and pitiable people who live on the streets.

Each student brought 5 Pooris and some Potato vegetable (freshly
prepared) neatly packed in foil paper. The teachers, along with a few

students, went near Hanuman Setu Temple to distribute the food
packets to the underprivileged people. This way the students did their

bit to promote SDG 2 ( Zero Hunger) and came forward to help the
community and learnt a valuable lesson , ' Sharing is Caring.'
