Star of the week 31 - Ch.Raj kishan

Theme : J.C.Bose - The Father of Modern Scientific Research in India

The theme for the weeks ( 25^th -29^th Nov) assembly for class tenth was J.C. Bose. On the first day, we started off by giving a brief introduction on J.C. Bose. A skit representing J.C. Bose experiments on plants which showed that plants also feel pain was enacted on the second day. On the third day, J.C. Bose was seen conducting experiments in his laboratory and this demonstration was liked by the kids and teachers. The fourth day was all about an interview with the legend in which he showed some facts about his life, experiments and lover for plants. The week ended with a quiz based on the assembly presentation and the students participated enthusiastically. The assembly was not only fun but was also informative and was a learning experience for all the students.

Class - X

One Nation Reading Together’ - ONRT 2013

Reading as a hobby has always been encouraged among our students. We have always had Scholastic Fairs at our school at regular intervals during the academic year so that the students who are avid readers get an opportunity to buy more books and the others also get inculcated into the habit of reading.

 In this context, it was fun being a part of ‘One Nation Reading Together’ - ONRT 2013. Students from all classes – from the pre-primary sections to the X – participated with a lot of enthusiasm as they were a part of a ‘national activity’.  While most of them were engrossed in reading books written by their favourite authors, others who were more artistically inclined, made bookmarks.

The 30 minutes passed fast…..in fact we felt that they passed too fast. We appreciate the

endeavour made by Scholastic India who have started this activity with a noble purpose and

we also feel glad that we have been an integral part of the exercise.
