Sports Carnival - Khel Khel Mein

Sports enthusiast as we are, the simpler games of childhood are oft forgotten. A chance to relive the memories of times before the advent of “screen” games was presented by the PRG of grades 1 to 5.  The ‘sporty’ carnival was aptly called, “Khel Khel Mein”.

Grandparents, parents and children indulged themselves playing chain-chain, pithu (seven stones), tug of war, stapu, langdi tang, basket-ball, blind fold, dodgeball, musical arms, bucket & ball, dog-in-the-bone, various fun races like catwalk, dress-up, 3-legged, sack, balloon, skipping, running and relay. In fact, one Grandparent scored a perfect score in a single turn at the bucket & ball game. It was heartening to see the Grandparents skipping along with their children smiling and cheering all.

Khel Khel Mein created happy smiling memories and brought smiles to everyone.

Grade 1 Learning Walk: Exploring Habitats of the World

At Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad, we believe learning extends far beyond the classroom—and the recent Grade 1 Learning Walk on Habitats of the World was a beautiful testament to this belief.

Over the summer break, our young learners took on the role of curious researchers, each delving into a habitat of their choice—be it the vast deserts, deep oceans, dense forests, or icy polar regions. With wonder in their eyes and questions in their minds, they explored these environments, gathering fascinating facts about the unique flora and fauna that call these places home.

What emerged from this exploration were creative, thoughtfully crafted projects—colorful scrapbooks, detailed drawings, and imaginative 3D models—that reflected not only their growing knowledge, but also their individual expression and effort.

The school corridors transformed into a vibrant gallery of habitats. As part of the Learning Walk, students visited each other’s displays, engaging in meaningful conversations, asking questions, and discovering new insights through peer learning. It was a celebration of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.

This experience was more than just a display of projects—it was a moment where children became teachers, learners, and storytellers, inspiring one another and deepening their connection with the world around them.
