CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Learning has become more exciting by linking the daily newspaper with curriculum. The children read the articles in the newspaper and attempt the daily crossword/Sudoko/Spelling Games thus increasing their knowledge and vocabulary as well as sharpening their minds. Newspaper reading and discussion of current news has become a regular part of class room activity. These sessions are followed by quizzes on current affairs. This helps the students to become more aware of the world around them. It also adds to their general knowledge and introduces new topics of discussion.

It is often said that for a child, a visit to library is a ticket to visit faraway lands and meet fascinating characters. It is a place where a child’s imagination takes wings and opens up avenues to express his/her creativity and individuality. To strengthen the above said views, we observe library week every year. Every year there are various engrossing class activities as well as some very appealing events which keep the students involved for the whole week. Class activities include book making, creative writing, poster making and slogan writing competition.

An Independence week is celebrated in the school under the guidance of facilitators to infuse the spirit of Patriotism and pay a tribute to our leaders and freedom fighters for their relentless contributions for our country. Various Activities like Debates, Discussions, Flag Making, and Speeches are conducted as a part of this special program.

The Creative Writing Competitions are an opportunity for the children to express their thoughts, emotions, dreams and discover their own skills. These contests help them to build their imagination and develop their writing skills.

Poetry Recitation is a platform for the children to enhance their oral expression. Students recite poems in well modulated voices with correct diction and intonation. Their expressive and confident tones speak of the effort and endeavour of each participant.

Spellathon is conducted to test the spelling of the children participating in the competition. This is made more participatory by giving all the students a chance to hone their spelling skills & where students are given a limited time to evaluate how quickly they are able to spell words correctly.

Quiz competitions are held to help test the general knowledge of the students. Mathematics Quiz, Computer Quiz and General Quiz is conducted every year. This helps the students to acquire knowledge about the various aspects and spheres in the subjects other than that contained in the text books. It also makes them aware of the Current Affairs of the world.

The English Extempore Speech Competition is conducted with the aim of developing the confidence of students and encouraging them to be able to speak on any given topic as and when required.
