School Tour of the Early Years spaces
South Block at Shiv Nadar School Faridabad, came alive with wonder, curiosity, greetings, chatter, play, questions, explorations when our youngest learners visited their school for the first time.
The students and their parents were invited to school in small groups and were taken for a tour of the Early Years spaces in South block.
Delighted to meet and interact with their HRT, the little ones spent time with them in their classrooms. Some sat on their chairs at the table and asked “हम activities कब करेगें?” while the others were busy observing the display boards and exploring their classrooms.
The children enjoyed themselves exploring the play area. Happy to be on the swings, slides, see-saws, a few of them even attempted to climb the rope ladders. The library had them settle into the bean bags while some identified the books with their parents. At the amphitheatre there was wonderful chatter and smiles as the children descended the stairs to be on the stage.
The parents appreciated the school for organizing the visit and requested for such visits to be organized once a week or even once a month for a longer duration of time.

Joy of Sharing 2021
The Joy of Sharing Week marks the birthday of our Founder Mr. Shiv Nadar. Drawing inspiration from his vision and mission we aim at crafting yearlong engagements to make students understand their social responsibility and empower them in making their world a better place. The joy of Sharing is an integral part of the curriculum at Shiv Nadar School which includes learnings that extend way beyond the classrooms and textbooks, a festival of philanthropy to establish the spirit of sharing and giving amongst students.
The Joy of Sharing decennial celebration commenced with the students from all the Cohorts participate in project-based experiential learning. These projects are designed to give them exposure to the world outside by giving them an opportunity to be a part of initiatives that help them understand and build capabilities. While the week marked the beginning of the journey with smaller engagements, the students will be engaged in various activities throughout the year.
Early Years
The Early Years students learned the importance of sharing through various activities. During the connected learning sessions, they shared - books, songs, artwork, and jokes with each other to bring a smile to everyone’s face. Storytelling sessions were organised with founder parents, students, teachers, staff, and alumnae who took them down the memory lane of their journey at the Shiv Nadar School. As a gesture of gratitude students made souvenirs for the ones who help them and for the family members whom they have not met for a long time.
Primary Years
The students celebrated the Joy of Sharing Week with Didis and Bhaiyas (support staff) through online sessions. They played instruments as a gratitude gesture and were treated with a wonderful story session by them. The session ended with sharing the cards that the students had made for them. There were also various sessions conducted by parents – storytelling, panel discussion, community service, art workshops. The artwork by students is collated and presented on the Padlet.

The students of Grade 4 & 5 are also engaging in a Community Outreach Programme. Under this programme they are working with an NGO named Om Foundation and will reach out to the community to gather resources like food and funds for the beneficiaries of the Foundation.
Junior Student Council members conducted an interactive session with the students of Nursery and KG (Early Years. The Council Members took the little ones on a virtual tour of the school and shared their own experiences of many joyful moments spent in school with friends and teachers. The Early Years students were overjoyed as they danced to lively music and enjoyed the interactive games and activities.
Middle School
The week commenced with a discussion with the students on Joy of Sharing, aimed at creating Awareness and Action. Children in each habitat decided upon a set of tasks to reach out to people who may need small blessings. They created a Wall of Gratitude to document their small acts of compassion in the form of a write-up with pictures and videos.

Senior School
During the Joy of Week our senior students embarked on a Student-Led Social Impact Initiative called Prarabdha - A Beginning. The objective of this year’s initiative focused on the creative and entrepreneurial skills of the students. Through this initiative, the school aims to inculcate human values in our students, allowing them to experience the inherent joy contained in the act of sharing. The students also got a chance to lead their teams, interact with multiple stakeholders and chisel their leadership skills along the way. The yearlong engagement culminated in November and an exhibition was put up by the students of the hand crafted products to raise funds.
