Welcome 2021!!
To welcome the new year on a happy note and with a positive thinking, students of Grade P2 did an
e- card designing activity using MS paint. They created various patterns using their imagination and
were very excited to learn something new in the beginning of the year. It was a wonderful creative
experience for them.

If we want to progress, we should respect each other and also the contribution by all ,to our
society. If we do not have our helping hands such as barber, doctor, nurse, engineer etc. to help
us at every step , it will become very difficult for us to survive. Also it becomes our moral duty
to be grateful to them. To make the students of Kindergarten understand the work these people
do and their contribution to the society, a Role Play Activity was conducted where they
dressed up as different helpers of our society and explained the duties they perform .These
kinds of activities are done to instill dignity of labour in the students.
It’s Quiz Time! The quest for knowledge ,like everything else of value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for and studied for. To instill in students an ability of scientific inquiry and team spirit, an Intra Class Quiz for Grades S1-S3 was conducted. The quiz tested students' ability to apply the conceptual understanding in the arena of Science. to practical situations .It gave them a platform to prove their learning and reasoning skills. Everyone was surprised with the way students enthusiastically participated and promptly replied to the questions put across by the Quiz Master . A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. To make students aware about the importance of healthy eating habits, concept of Healthy Food and Junk Food was taken up with the students of Grade Nursery. They were explained about the benefits of eating healthy food and ill effects of eating Junk food. Further, to clear the concept they did a sorting activity where they pasted the pictures of healthy food on the smiling face and junk food on the sad face. They also learnt about this difference through real objects like an orange, bread, chapatti, juice, egg, candies, chips, biscuits and many more.

They also learnt about the various acts performed by the joker in the circus. Such activities help in developing fine motor skills and kinesthetic skills. Lohri…..the Virtual Way Lohri, the harvest festival which marks the beginning of the new year, is celebrated with great pomp and show in the states of Punjab and Haryana. Big bonfire, foot tapping bhangra, sweetness of gur, giggles and laughter of friends and relatives, bright attires - all say the story of happiness.

Ice...Ice….Baby….. Sates of matter is an important part of building a solid foundation for basic science. Students of Grades Nursery and Kindergarten did the science experiment on three states of water where they learned about state of water- solid, liquid and gas. It was a surprising for them to see ice changing into water then gas as vapours, vapours cooling again as water and on freezing converting again to ice . Such experiments help in developing critical thinking in a child. It also nurtures intellectual curiosity, helping them to acquire new ways of asking questions and understanding the world. The Yummy Educational Pizza The students of Grade P2 did an activity to learn the concept of fraction by drawing a pizza and dividing it into equal parts and wrote the fraction for each part. The idea was to make them understand about the equal division of parts and marking the fractions. They enjoyed the activity and understood the concept well.

Through this activity students learnt to make a bill. They practised it by using basic fundamental operations using money. It can be a challenge for little kids to understand the value of money however such hands-on activities help them to keep a check on the expenses. The students realised the importance and value of money. They were able to differentiate between the wants and needs. They enjoyed and learnt the concept well.

"Story telling is the most powerful way to put ideas
into the world." Students of Kindergarten enjoyed
different story telling sessions where they learnt and
understood the value of hospitality and friendship
through the stories- ' Hospitality of pigeons' and
'The Two Friends and the Bear' . During skill devel-
opment session , they learnt to make animals and
birds with colourful clay. Such sessions and activi-
ties help in inculcating values and overall develop-
ment of a child.
Experiential Learning in Progress The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” Carl Jung. The above statement holds the truth when we talk about holistic development of a child. Experiential learning is the best method to make a child learn to be independent and help them in learning how to han- dle various tools. With this view, Snip with Scissors Activity was held for the students of Grade Kinder- garten. With the help of plastic Scissors, they cut different shapes and then created their favourite object using the cut-outs. Welcome Back! In the year 2020 an entire generation has seen its education interrupted. The reason- COVID. This has caused immeasurable disruption to the lives, learning and wellbeing of children around the world. As the ray of hope amidst all this, the COVID-19 vaccine, shines, the hope of coming back to the physical classroom, strengthens. The school opened its doors to the offline classes strictly adhering to all the SOPs and protocols advised by the CBSE. It was not a normal day when the school started. The Modern School witnessed what was longed from a very long time….the beaming faces of our children of Grades X and XI. The children looked ecstatic being in the premises and the physical classroom. Sending the children to school was strictly on consent basis but those who were still at home did not have to suffer as the teachers made enormous pedagogical changes to meet the needs of both the online and offline students. New improved AV setup to ensure smooth classes was installed. It was new. It was exciting and it was successful. We, at The Modern School are confident about having smooth and guidelines-adhered offline classes in the near future.
Winners Take It All! Modern thoroughly believes in the theory of holistic development of a child and religiously follows it by way of conducting various competitions for the students. Students equally participate whole heart- edly and always amaze all with their performances. Heartiest congratulations to all the winners who have participated in various competitions held in this fortnight and have come out with flying colours. May you keep on doing well!!!
Safety Begins With Me! Safety starts with “S”, begins with “You" and when on road, only "You" can be the one to save your- self and others. Looking at the increase in the number of road accidents at an alarming rate, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in association with CBSE, has taken an initiative to cele- brate the Road Safety month from January 18,2021 to February 17,2021 A plethora of programmes were organised to enlighten the students on safety on road, driving rules and cautions. During the whole month educational banners, safety posters, safety films, pocket guides and leaflets related to the road safety were made by the students of all grades. Students explained about the methods and necessities of the road safety and how people must understand the use of helmets or seat belts while driving on the road or anywhere. They also shared the acquired knowledge with their parents and pledged that they would contribute to make our country a safe and informed place. फढ़ते मातामात के फीच वाहन चराना फहुत कठिन है | ऐसे भें ट्रै फपक ननमभों की जानकायी होना अत्मॊत आवश्मक है | फेहतय मातामात के ननमभों की जानकायी को ध्मान भें यखते हुए , ‘द भॉडनन स्कूर’, पयीदाफाद ने ट्रै फपक राइट फनाने की गनतववधध का आमोजन फकमा | गनतववधध को कयाने से ऩहरे अध्मावऩकाओॊ ने छात्रों को ट्रै फपक राइट से सॊफॊधधत ननमभों से अवगत बी कयामा | इसके फाद छात्रों ने अनऩ ु मोगी चीजों जैसे खारी फोतरों के यॊ ग –बफयॊ गे ढक्कन औय गत्ते के डडब्फों का प्रमोग कयते हुए ट्रै फपक राइट फनाई | इस गनतववधध को कयते सभम छात्रों ने खफ ू उत्साह औय रुधच ठदखाई | इसके भाध्मभ से न केवर उन्होंने मातामात के ननमभों की जानकायी हुई फल्कक वे हभाये दे श की ट्रै फपक व्मवस्था के प्रनत सजग बी हुए | ववद्मारम भें सभम-सभम ऩय इस प्रकाय की गनतववधधमाॉ कयाने का उद्दे श्म उनका सवाांगीण ववकास कयना तथा सभाज के प्रनत उन्हें जागरूक कयना है |

body and when taking about children it becomes all the
more necessary. To indulge our students in a healthy rou-

Post Exams Activities Day1 & 2 We do not learn for the benefit of anyone, we learn to unlearn ignorance. After the hectic and stressful schedule of Examinations, each child looks forward to a break which helps him/her to rejuvenate. The School endorses the Post Exam Activities as a must-do. It was a journey of ten days through the Tinsel Town of Fun and Frolics. Day 1 and Day 2 saw a mind blowing response when some exciting activities created by the teachers, popped out of the magic box . What fun it was for the tiny tots to watch a Puppet Show and creating a finger puppet. If story telling took them to fairy land then bold strokes with colours opened up the doors of creativity. While reading was a pleasure , singing was fun. Mouth watering delicacies prepared by students gave a break to their mothers. An informative workshop given by Yakult India was an icing on the cake. Day 3 Happiness cannot be measured in words. It was proved by the glowing faces of children Day 3 began with plethora of activities like crazy imprints, singing, dancing , flower making,clay sculpting and many more. If on one hand, children learnt about healthy living through yoga and healthy eating ,then on the other hand they enjoyed creating 3D models of trees and fruit baskets, with clay. Movie time was thoroughly enjoyed by the tiny tots and playing with computers was fun for the students of Grade P1. Over all it was a fun filled day for all.
