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.

Shabadshaala: Where Music Meets Meaning
The Shabadshaala event at Shiv Nadar School Faridabad once again proved to be a soulful and transformative experience—an integral part of the AHA Arts Learning journey. Conducted under the banner of Project Kabir, this unique program brought alive the timeless wisdom of Bhakti and Sufi poetry through the rich traditions of folk music, oral storytelling, and reflective dialogue.
Over two immersive days, a mandali of Baul singers engaged students from Grades 5 to 8, guiding them through the evocative verses of Kabir, Bulleh Shah, and other mystic saints. These sessions invited students to reflect on universal themes of love, unity, truth, and inner awakening—using music not merely as performance, but as a profound way of being.
The Baul mandali created a vibrant and safe space for collective singing, open conversation, and personal contemplation. Students experienced how poetic expression can deepen empathy, nurture active listening, and connect them to India’s rich cultural and philosophical heritage.
Adding depth to the experience was the presence of Lokhan Das ji, a revered figure in the Baul tradition of Bengal. His spiritual presence and soulful renditions left an indelible mark on the hearts of all present.
Shabadshaala stood as a reminder that the arts are not just extracurricular—they are essential pathways to self-awareness, community, and meaning. It was a celebration where learning resonated from the heart just as deeply as it did from the mind.
