Colours, Colours Everywhere

Red, Yellow, Green, and Brown

Let’s explore them everywhere

Brown colour day was celebrated with the students of L.K.G on 9th October 2019. The day was celebrated to acquaint the students with colours and objects related to it. Various activities related to the colours made the day of all the little pals of L.K.G grade. Children sung rhymes and listened to a short story based on brown colour day. To mark this day as a special day, the students and teachers wore brown colour dresses. It was indeed a happy day.

May this Dussehra bring you loads of joy, success and prosperity, and may your worries burn away with the effigy of Ravana. Wishing you a year full of smiles and happiness.

“It Is Useless to See When the Mind Is Blind”

Students always carry a bag of book and aching emotions to school. Eventually they are at a higher risk of developing stress and anxiety. Prolonged exposure to stress leads to long term physiological and emotional disturbances which severely hinder their learning and development.

For children at school the day begins with a few minutes of mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a psychological process of bringing one’s attention to experience happening in the present moment. Mmpians focus on things they would otherwise skip they meditate on sounds – like their own heartbeat, sounds in nature and around the classroom while deep breathing. It aims to develop self awareness, attention, and compassion and reduce anxiety. Students are learning self help skills to distress.

It was a different day from a normal routine day when Mrs. Rooma Pathak, Principal visited Nai Talim, Anand Niketan School, Wardha, Nagpur on 30th September 2019 along with 35 principals from Delhi schools.

The visit focused on the mental action of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses as guided by Mahatma Gandhi. The visit also focused on sustainable future and on the experiential environment friendly pedagogy for kids these days.

Introduction to “craft-based” education was given in which practical skill serves as the center and foundation of an individual’s spiritual, cultural, and social development and in which skills such as literacy and mathematics are learned in context with and in service to their craft. In this approach to schooling, academic subjects are taught in an interdisciplinary way and never separated from their practical application in the world. The craft-centered approach instills the dignity of labor, the value of self-sufficiency, and strengthens local culture.

Not surprisingly, a nonviolent approach to socialization is integral to Nai Talim, stressing personal responsibility and inculcating self-discipline rather than reliance on external authority, with the teacher role-modeling the values and qualities that the students are meant to learn to embody themselves.

Anand Niketan is a wonderful place, a must visit place for every educator.

Learning outside the classroom is the use of places other than the school for teaching and learning. Open space offers children opportunities for big movement, vigorous social play and explorations. Therefore, a visit to park was organized for the children of grade 2 to 5. They learned about swachhta through rally and collecting garbage in handmade bins. They spoke about the uses of green and blue bins. Tiny tots of grade 2 spread awareness on using paper bag by giving people handmade paper bags. The children of grade 5 showed posters of Fit India and some gymnastic moves. To sum up, the students got the buzz out of this visit and they had amazing time on swings in the park.

To highlight the need to Fitness and shun single use of plastic and complete eradication of the menace of this harmful material Plogging Activity was organized on 2nd October 2019 for the students of classes V to IX. The objective behind the activity was not only to encourage students to be fit but also to sensitize them to minimize the use of plastic and to aware them about the harm caused by Plastic on environment in the recent years. The students enthusiastically participated in the run, collected plastic garbage in nearby areas of school, promised to spread the message of “Say no to Plastic” in the society and also to be a responsible citizen of the nation to fulfill the vision of Mahatma Gandhi of a clean and green Nation. Thus the day was full of energetic activities and the students learnt a lot through participation.

‘If Mosquitoes Breed, Then You Will Bleed.’

To enlighten students not only about the ongoing campaign of “10 HAFTE , 10 BAJE , 10 MINUTES” but also to aware them about the Dengue Control , students were given a golden opportunity to witness  the live streaming of the above mentioned programme on 1st October 2019 which provided very important and basic techniques  to keep them safe from falling sick. This programme mainly focused on encouraging the school going children to keep their surroundings and homes clean to curb the hands of Dengue and complete eradication of this disease. Thus, the students learnt a lot as this programme was very informative and enriching.

A time of celebration

A time when world see the example of power and good.

Let us continue the same “True Spirit”.
