ગુણોત્સવ 

 ગુણોત્સવ સંદર્ભે જીલ્લા કક્ષાએથી અધિકારીઓએ બીજા વર્ષે પણ અમારી શાળાની  મુલાકાત કીધી.. શૈક્ષણિક ભાવાવરણની પ્રશંશા સાથે જે ખાસ નિવેદન તેમણે કર્યું તે આમ હતું :' આ શાળાના વિદ્યાર્થીઓના ચહેરા પર ચમક છે, ડર નથી.' ધોરણ ૭ના વિદ્યાર્થીઓએ તો વર્ગ મુલાકાત લેનાર અધિકારીનો ઇન્ટરવ્યું પણ લીધો. શ્રી ક્રિસ્ટી સાહેબે કહ્યું કે આ અનુભવ તેમના માટે નવો જ છે.  ક્રિસ્ટી સાહેબએ શું અનુભવ્યું ? જુઓ બાજુના ફોટામાં .

Guest

A special guest has visited our school on 12 and 13th January 2011 : Deborah Bullivant, the project director of Inspire Rotherham ,U.K.We had a one year old friendship with the schools linked with Inspire Rotherham. Our students have wrote letters to the students of linked schools and they got replies .

Deborah has attended our assembly and she was very happy to know that the students organize the assembly. She talked for one hour with the students of class 7 , asked them few questions and answered their questions as well. She was impressed by the confidence of the students to interact with a stranger. Then she has visited all the classes of our school to get an idea of various activities of the school. Classes 4 to 7 has presented her some of the craft work pieces prepared by the students.

On 13th, we has visited some parents at their homes. We enjoyed the warm welcome by the parents and discussed Educational matters with them.Deborah was so touched with the experience that she became emotional when she narrated it later on.

The visit has come out as a wonderful idea-exchange programme for both sides. We are going to set a link among our students so we might explore cross border peer group learning!

Action Songs-2010

Action Song is a jovial way to learn rhythm and the beauty of language. 'Children's rhymes/action songs are a rare resource of highly creative and energitic forms of language. And they are extremely useful means of developing certain basic language skills.'-Krishna Kumar. Here is a glimpse of such activities at our school. Follow the link.

Mono Acting

In his book ' The Child's Language and The teacher'(NBT) Krishna Kumar writes that children use the language in various ways and some of them are :i)Children often talk about what they are doing at the time they are doing it. ii) Children talk about things to show their knowledge of 'how' a thing happened.

Mono Acting is one of the creative way to express oneself. Here is a link to the photoes where our students performed different roles.

Craft Work

Craft work not only help to facilitate the developing body of the child but is also a very useful tool to develop concentration, minute observation skill and creativity. It also has vocational features but at primary level, we do not choose to focus them. Here is a link to see photoes of our craft work class. We had prepared candles, decorative lamps and dolls.
