Field trips gives students an
educational experiences away
from their regular school
environment, and in kindergarten
we extent our learning beyond
the walls and prepare our young
learners by developing their
visual literacy, and integrating
the trip actively into our
curriculum.



Kindergarten assembly is
considered as one of the main
ways by which we create a
positive reflective ethos and
promote our value-based
education. The staff and
students of KG I organized an
assembly as a reflection and
gratitude to the creator for
providing an ability to use our
5 senses productively.

Class presentations provide a vital role in
kindergarten as it helps in
communicating one`s thoughts and
feelings effectively. It also enhances in
delivering complex information in simple
and interesting ways to keep the audience
engaged and captivated. The KG II
students along with their teachers
brought in fabulous learning experience
through a presentation as a culmination
of the topic MY 5 SENSES.

ASSEMBLY CONDUCTED BY GRADE VII G, H &
I ON 3rd AUGUST, 2018

On 3rd August, the assembly was
conducted by grades VII G, H and I.
Theme chosen for the assembly was ‘7
Wonders of Life’.
Wonder de ines us as Human Beings- It
is the nourishment for the soul.
To See, To Hear, To Touch, To Taste, To
Feel, To Laugh and To Love should be the
essence of life rather than materialism.
The students of Grade VIIG, H and I very
beautifully brought out this theme
through them enacting a Classroom
scene and visit to the orphanage, the
song “Wonders by The Script” and the
dance on the song ‘Brand New Eyes’. The
theme and performance was much
appreciated by the Principal, Vice

Wonder is more than just a good feeling,
it is a seed from which our greatest
treasures grow.

Solo and group singing competition

Music is the greatest communication in
the world. Even if people don’t
understand the language that you’re
singing in, they still know good music
when they hear it. This was quite evident
in the solo and group singing
competition held on 24th July 2018 for
grades 5 and 6.

It was fascinating to
witness all the four houses
put up quite a magni icent
performance singing
country folk songs from
different languages
bringing out their inner
talents. ‘Country roads’
and ‘kodagana
kolinungitha’ still
remained the favorites.
