The Year 1 children compared quantities, discussed the qualities of mangoes and reflected in their notebooks. They compared the taste of raw and ripe mangoes. They ate the ripe mangoes as dessert during lunch and observed their facilitators prepare a sweet and sour mango pickle with the raw mangoes.

The duration of the workshop was from 9 am to 3 pm with tea break and lunch break at 10.30 am and 12.30 pm respectively.

The first day of the workshop started off with the screening of a documentary movie on climate change named-An inconvenient Sequel-Truth to power. After watching the documentary, the students discussed their concerns about climate change and asked probing questions. The students were then explained about the roles and responsibilities of the Security Council. The students were told about the other agencies of the UN that play an important role. They were also apprised of the formal procedures that are in practice in the UN.

On the second day, the students were introduced to the terminology and academic vocabulary that they needed to use while being a part of MUN. The students were made aware of using formal language and how to address the Chairperson while in session. The students were told to do research about the climate change policies of their respective countries which they had already been assigned. The mentors gave a list of trusted links that they could use for research. The students did thorough research on their laptops and wrote a resolution paper.

The third day of the workshop was a simulation of UNSC. The students came prepared and had brought their well-researched papers. Their transition from students of grade 7 to delegates was smooth and laudable. They read out their papers in front of the other delegates. The speeches had to adhere to the time limit of 90 seconds.  

The fourth day saw the students deeply engrossed in more research. The delegates had informal sessions with delegates of other countries which shared their views. Groups of like-minded countries worked towards making a resolution that would be workable.

The last day of the workshop was the cherry on the cake when the delegates presented their final resolution papers. The formal process of voting and abstaining was followed and the resolutions with maximum votes were passed.

It was indeed a very enriching experience and a riveting session. The students shared that the workshop had not only helped them build their confidence but also honed their public speaking skills.

MILAN

The days were divided into Architecture Day, Fashion Day & Visual Art day at Milan.

Architecture Day

Our students learnt about perspectives and gained tangible skills in drawing 3D on 2D. The experience was special as they sat in front of iconic monuments on a beautiful, sunny day and attempted sketching what they were seeing on paper while being told about the historic significance of the sites. They were taken to the Arco Della Pace and Castello Sforzesco.

It was a great beginning. The students enjoyed the first activity at the Arco Della Pace immensely. The activity became a little long and repetitive at the second location. Castello Sforzesco houses a museum, which had an exhibition of works by Leonardo da Vinci. The day concluded with a walk through the College of Art, Botanical Gardens and some shopping in the city centre.

Fashion Day

Visual Arts Day

The workshop on this day was led by Ms Silvia Fiani, a Milanese artist, at her quaint, little studio.

VIENNA

The days in Vienna were divided into Theatre Day, Photography Day  & Music Day

Theatre Day ​
The students were introduced to ‘Theatre of the Youth’, the largest theatre for children in Europe. At the Renaissance, Theatre students were given a guided tour of the stage specially designed for their ongoing production of Robin Hood. They learnt about stagecraft, projections, props, music, costumes, make-up, wigs and all that goes into making a musical theatre production. The stage tour was followed by a brief description of the storyline of the play. They then watched the entire three-hour-long production in German with a house full of children of all ages. Even though they did not understand the language, it was easy to follow the story and was very exciting to see all the tricks unravel on stage.

Photography Day

On photography Day in Vienna students went to Metro Kinokulturhaus to see an exhibition of Polaroids taken by German filmmaker and photographer Wim Wenders curated by Filarchiv Austria. Here the students attended a workshop on Polaroid cameras. This was followed by an outdoor mobile photography workshop led by Mr Rafael Haider.

what you share.”

THE FUNDRAISER -Culmination of Joy of Sharing Week

Raising Proceeds through Sale & Karsewa

On the culmination day, the artistic talent of our students could be seen in the beautiful things that they had made over the week. The wish-cards, bookmarks, book chompers, envelopes, pencil holders, coasters and pebble paperweights are to name a few that were recycled out of waste resources. The colourful tie and dye scarves and wool lanterns were a treat to the eye.

The visual treat was balanced well with a (food) treat for all! Of course all at a good cost for a good cause!!

The food stalls with various savoury delights kept the taste buds tickled. Nachos, samosas, ice tea, corn salad, popcorn, jaljeera, lime-squash, masala peanuts, ice lollies and coconut laddoos were relished by one and all.

The Karaoke corner kept everyone entertained with melodious songs and requests. The exciting games’ stalls added to the thrill quotient and enjoyed thoroughly by all and sundry.

Last but not least, our young car wipers made the day of many who got their vehicles ‘Gleamy Clean’ at the car wash stall.

The White Elephant Sale

The students across the school enthusiastically contributed towards the White Elephant Sale by bringing in many things from home. Needless to say, it was a huge hit and a great way to recycle and reuse resources!

The students of grade 10 have collaborated with Varitra Foundation (Capstone Project) and are training / grooming the rural women to market and sell their merchandise using the modern IT tools. The students put up a stall to spread awareness about the creative skills of the rural workers and the merchandise that is available on sale (through social platforms).

Building Compassion - Passing the baton to the generation next

A sum of Rs 20,000 was donated by the organising committee of Battle of Bands. Vansh Kapoor, Head Boy and also a member of the organising committee shared “We have grown up being a part of Joy of Sharing and want to continue to be a part of this”.

Preview to Joy Of Sharing culmination

We plan and schedule events in each academic year aiming to bring about changes in the attitude(s) and behaviour(s) of our students. These events are planned to inculcate and strengthen values in our students in a manner that they form an integral part of their character, defining their behaviour.
