World Music Day struck a perfect chord on 19th June 2025, filling the air with harmony, rhythm, and boundless joy. It was a day where music wasn’t just heard — it was felt, seen, and celebrated in every vibrant form.

From start to finish, the event was brilliantly conducted by our talented young performers, who took charge with enthusiasm and flair. The program featured soul-stirring songs sung by students and a range of fun, interactive activities that kept everyone grooving.

The body percussion exercises were a big hit, as students and teachers clapped, thumped, and snapped their way into rhythmic patterns using just their bodies. It was a lively reminder that music lives within us all.

Adding a splash of colour to the rhythm, students waved red, white, and blue ribbons in perfect sync with musical cues, transforming the atmosphere into a visual masterpiece.

Our budding musicians proudly showcased their talents on the guitar, mouth organ, violin, flute, and synthesizer, compelling everyone to sing along. A musical quiz conducted by the students further amped up the excitement, testing everyone’s musical IQ in a fun and engaging way.

The celebration was a true testament to the healing power of music — not just for the ears, but for the heart and soul. The day ended on a cheerful note, but the melodies lingered long after the last song was sung.

 

On June 20th, our Upper Primary students embraced the spirit of International Yoga Day with enthusiasm and curiosity. The event was filled with fun activities like stretching, breathing exercises, and relaxing moments that helped everyone feel calm and refreshed.

Students enjoyed learning new ways to stay active and focused while supporting each other with kindness. It was heartwarming to see students trying their best, sharing laughs, and discovering how small moments of mindfulness can make a big difference in their day.

The day reminded us how simple, mindful practices can nurture lifelong wellbeing. As the event wrapped up, students left feeling proud, energized, and ready to bring these healthy habits into their daily lives!

The children of Class 1 celebrated Rabindra Jayanti on 9 May 2025. They came dressed in the colours of the four elements, ie fire, water, air and earth. They enthusiastically performed a poem and a few songs, that were chosen in keeping with this theme.

Simple information on Rabindra Nath Tagore was also shared in class.

On the occasion of Rabindra Jayanti the students of Upper KG sang songs written by Tagore and recited a few lines from the poem Paper Boats. They also made paper hand bands and drew paper boats in their books

The students of Classes 3, 4, and 5 came together to celebrate Earth Day on 22nd April with enthusiasm and awareness. A short programme was held, with meaningful talks on Renewable and Non-Renewable resources, highlighting and promoting the benefits of renewable energy. The event also featured Earth Day songs, facts about when the first Earth day was celebrated.

It was important to make students understand that these projects are not time bound and only to ‘celebrate’ the day. Earth day and thinking about the environment needs to be done everyday and there must be a genuine desire to make a positive change.

Which is why students their 2 previous and ongoing projects

1. “Give Me 10” initiative—encouraging families to wait 10 minutes before turning on the AC—to conserve energy and reduce CFLs.

2. Collecting paper & plastic waste which was sent for recycling.

This year they are learning about ‘composting’, its process, and how it benefits the environment by recycling waste into rich organic material.

A special highlight was the Class 3 “Disconnect to Reconnect” campaign, where families engaged in a digital detox over the weekend. They spent quality time star gazing, playing games, storytelling, and preparing meals together—proving that reconnecting with loved ones can be both fun and eco-friendly.

It was a beautiful reminder of how small steps by young minds can make a big difference for a greener tomorrow.

Class 2 hosted a fun and creative eco-friendly coaster-making activity on 22 April 2025 to promote sustainability through recycling as part of Earth Day celebrations. The students came together to create beautiful, handmade coasters using cardboard cutouts and decorated them with flowers and leaves collected and compressed earlier. The concept of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” was reiterated through a Sudoku worksheet done in class.

The children of Class 1 celebrated Earth Day on 22 April 2025 with much enthusiasm. They brought saplings of various types of plants and eagerly spoke about the benefits we get from them. Afterwards, the children enjoyed planting several of these saplings in the garden with the help of the school gardeners. This was a fun learning experience for them and they now wait excitedly to see their plants grow. The children also took a walk around the school garden, admiring nature.

The children of Lower KG celebrated Earth Day on 22 April 2025 through a variety of engaging activities, art & craft and classroom discussions. They discussed ways to protect planet Earth and took part in creative activities like making Earth themed crafts. Activities such as ‘Cleaning of the Ocean’ and sorting games helped raise awareness among the children about caring for the environment and building a better future.

On the occasion of Earth Day, Upper KG students expressed their appreciation for Mother Earth through drawing pictures of things that keep the planet clean and things they love about their planet. They also engaged in a craft activity where they created an Earth Day Mobile of important actions that help protect the Earth, like saving water, not littering etc. They were encouraged to be young Earth heroes in their everyday actions.
