On 21st June 2024, the children of the Junior Department came together to celebrate World Music Day with great fervour and exuberance. The sing-along dance-along session, not only included popular English tracks but also German, Spanish and French tracks – ‘Das Fliegerlied’, ‘De Colores’ and ‘Jean Petit Qui Danse’, respectively. The students keenly enjoyed themselves as they sang and danced with their friends. The musical session ended with a short quiz, conducted by the Class 4 students, that delved into various interesting facts about music.

In keeping with the school theme of the year – ‘Seeking the truth, Speaking the truth’, the Junior Department honoured the timeless legacy of the great bard Rabindranath Tagore on his 163rd birth anniversary. An excellently woven recital, which included mellifluous singing, dance and poetry recitation, was presented embracing his ideals of love for nature, tolerance, empathy and beauty of life.

The students of class 5 came together for a workshop conducted by Mrs Y Bapat, an environmentalist, on September 15, 2023, to turn non-biodegradable garbage like plastic into construction blocks. To do this, they used plastic bottles  which they firmly packed with plastic packets. This helps prevent plastic waste in the landfills and the degradation of plastics into toxins and micro plastics, which  hurts marine life when they make their way into water bodies, and endangers our health.

Winter is a most pleasant time in Kolkata. We enjoy feeling the winter chill and our second language Bengali girls of the Junior Department  welcomed this season in their way. They have shown us how precious this season is through dance, music, recitation and drama presentations.

The students of classes 3, 4 and 5 created masks and other crafts to celebrate the International Day of the Tiger on 29th July, 2023.

The Class 5s celebrated the 77th Independence Day with great ardour and sincerity. The theme this year was spun around freedom envisaged through the kite soaring high in the sky. The twine reminds us of self discipline and the spool stands for the good principles in our life.
