If there would have been a forth Gandhian monkey, what would it depict?'
To mark the 151st birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, students of grades 1 to 5 virtually celebrated Gandhi Jayanti through a variety of activities such as powerpoint presentations, role-plays, video on biography of Gandhiji and played Truth-o-mania. Students were also taken through a virtual tour of the Gandhi Ashram situated in Sabarmati, Gujarat. As a part of the role-play, students personified various possessions of Gandhiji like his spectacles, dhoti, stick/laathi and shared their experiences of being with Bapu. Students also answered a few introspective questions on a padlet wall such as 'What is that one change you would like to see in the world?' and 'If there would have been a forth Gandhian monkey, what would it depict?'

It culminated on 18th September through a role play / enactment activity. In this, children came dressed as their favourite character of a story/poem . They were expected to talk about their character, speak their dialogues, sing the poem, or summarise the story in their own words. Children thoroughly enjoyed the activity and spoke exceptionally well. This activity helped in strengthening their speaking skill and also helped to enhance their interest towards the language.

The students performed to the best of their abilities and showed exemplary team work, despite the demanding circumstances of Covid-19. In the individual sub-categories, they were able to explain the utility and need of their prototypes in the virtual world and also explained their growth journey of all the members as a group.

Joy of Sharing
We, at Shiv Nadar School, have always believed in imparting everlasting learning to our students, and what better premise to do so than the birthday of our founder, Mr. Shiv Nadar. Every year, the school celebrates the ‘Joy of Sharing’ week around the special day, 14th July, wherein we all come together like tributaries forming a river of knowledge that is based on ‘sharing’. We intend each member of the school, students and staff, to partake in the revelry of joyous sharing and take a leaf out of the book of life of a legendry person, who has tirelessly worked to give thousands a better future. We wish each child to embrace and contribute to the unflinching belief that forms one of our greatest strengths – knowledge grows by sharing.
This year not only enhanced our celebrations by extending them to the entire month, it also cemented our belief further, thanks to the honest undertakings of our innocent young learners! Be it gardening or cooking, craft or music, exploring age-friendly apps or authoring their own stories – our students proved their mettle across a plethora of fields. Here’s how their endeavors at sharing their knowledge with their peers became our privileged opportunity to gather a sea of timeless memories!
E Pluribus Unum, July 2020: The Manhattan Project
The cover page of July Edition of E Pluribus Unum pays homage to the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki in 1945, the fatality counts of which totalled 213,000. The Manhattan Project, written brilliantly, details out what went into the making of the atom bomb that shook not only Japan, but the entire world, and also the legacy of the US government’s research project. The piece concludes with Excerpts from the letter addressed by Einstein to American President Roosevelt.
The edition rightly has an article that entails how the pandemic is proving to be building blocks for international relations, how the pandemic has changed the lives of people and the rising tensions between China and the other superpowers of the world.
The edition offers varied forms of readings ranging from articles on Feminism Today, Clothes & Appearances: A Story Based In The Times Of Industrial Revolution, Aurangzeb: The Life & Legacy Of India’s Most Controversial King. In this age of fake news, one of the young writers has penned down his thoughts in The Golden Age of Miscommunication: When People Can’t Trust News.
The two well-written book synopsis shows the depth of reading of the young learners. The two synopsis are of the books The Rise of Islamic State: ISIS and the New Sunni Revolution by Patrick Cockburn and Hidden Hand: Exposing How The Chinese Communist Party is Reshaping The World by Clive Hamilton & Mareike Ohlberg.
The edition closes with nationalist sentiments of this generation in My idea of a Nation.
The pandemic is a great time for this read here.
