Let's save 'The Wild Cats'

It is rightly said,'The school is a miniature society’.It is here that students learn to socialise. They learn to socialise through a plethora of activities held at school. Tigers’Day is celebrated on 30th July every year across the globe. The day aims to create awareness in the minds of the people and spread a message to initiate steps to conserve this endangered species.

Students and staff of Saraswati Vishwa Vidyalaya National School,Thermax Chowk,Chinchwad marked the celebrations for this day by organising a jungle party.The theme for the jungle party was 'Tiger- the wild cat’.  Students were dressed as tigers and to their surprise they were welcomed in the school auditorium by the loud roar of tigers. The level of thrill and excitement amongst the students grew when their  teacher entered the auditorium dressed in the tiger's costume and mingled with them.  A short story was screened that revealed how this species has become extinct and as responsible human beings how can we conserve them. The tempo of the jungle party continued to enthuse the students and enjoy to the brim when students tapped their feet together to present a jungle dance and had fun with Mowgli by dancing on the tune ‘ jungle jungle baat Chali hai’ showcasing how Mowgli becomes friendly with the tigers and promises to protect them. The message to conserve these wild cats was put across aptly in a fun filled atmosphere. The students called it a day by colouring the bookmark that had the image of a tiger with the tag line -'Save Tigers’ .

Children all over the world love listening to stories.By telling children stories that come with a meaningful message,we can definitely inculcate qualities like wisdom, courage, honesty, etc. from an early age into our children's lives

It makes them aware of their own culture and roots,enhances verbal proficiency
it improves listening skills.encourages creativity and imagination power
This also enhances creativity, making them more imaginative and open to ideas and free thinking.
Its a tool for sharpening memory, broadens horizon and makes academic learning easier.
Storytelling for children is a stepping stone for academic learning. Many children have the habit of learning by rote, without understanding the subject. Storytelling, as a regular activity, can help children to enjoy and better understand what they are reading. This helps them in learning their subjects better. Sometimes, teaching school subjects as an interesting story (example, a boring history lesson can be turned into an interesting historical story) can help them understand better and fuel curiosity.
It helps to face difficult situations with ease:
Difficult situations can often end up leaving children feeling confused. Stories about various characters facing difficult situations can help them understand this concept better.The right stories can help children become well-equipped to face life and various situations.

Keeping these benefits in mind we arranged for a live story telling session with the students of Taras Shevchenko Gymnasia from Ukraine . It was a very interactive session where our students interacted with their partner school from Ukraine and helped them gain intercultural understanding

ISA Collaborative Activity:"He who pays the piper calls the tune"

We at SVVNS Chinchwad, conducted multiple activities for our ISA Collaborative Project Titled: "He who pays the piper calls the tune".

Students were exposed to currencies of different countries bearing different denominations. They had fun playing the 'Cash and Carry Card Game'.

Flash Cards containing historical facts of the respective countries were prepared by the students of Grade III and IV. These flash cards were then displayed on the school notice board. Students also matched the personalities/ symbols with the respective currencies given in the worksheets to them. It was a enriching learning experience and they shared their learning with their peers during the school assembly.

Penning the magnificient thoughts

With technology developing at a record pace and kids mastering iPad's before they’re even out of diapers, it’s more important than ever to instill the love of reading in our children.The importance of getting kids to develop a love for reading early on often correlates with a love for learning, a passion for lifelong reading, and so many other positive traits that ultimately lead to the empowerment needed for success. Reading helps to develop writing skills ,strategic , analytical thinking skills and it also helps improve focus and concentration.

With this in mind we planned an activity called as 'Penning the Magnificient thoughts' to nurture the love for reading among our students & to help build their vocabulary & comprehension skills .
Our students participated in a short story writing competition on the topic 'My Favourite Book' where students gave a gist of their favourite story book. Next in line was an elocution competition where students spoke about child authors from India, Germany & Scotland. We also arranged for ' Authors open house where students dressed up as their favourite author from across the world.

It was a very enriching experience for our students which helped them develop a taste for good literature.
