NATURE WALK- CLASSES I & II

NATURE WALK- CLASSES I & II (28 AUG 2018)

Physical fitness is an important part of growing up the healthy way. Our school with its vast, green campus and plenty of open spaces is a beautiful place for walk and exploration.  With the idea of experiencing new sights, sounds and smells, and add to the environmental awareness a ‘Nature Walk’ was conducted for classes I & II on 28 Aug 2018, in the school premises.

The students were encouraged to observe the natural foliage around the school. They picked up dried leaves and they felt the difference of the texture with the fresh ones. They looked around for birds and their nests. They listened to and watched and observed the tiny insects and birds. They also appreciated the variety of leaves on different plants.

Children, being naturally inquisitive, asked many questions and tried to guess some of the answers themselves. They ran, jumped and hopped as they walked excitedly along the trail. They interacted with their classmates enthusiastically and were more happy and relaxed when they returned to their classes and shared their observations. It felt like a magical event for them who had a lot of stories to tell about the day!

      27th Vasant Valley Drama Festival

      27th Vasant Valley Drama Festival ( 29.08.18 – 31.08.18)

      ‘Acting is magical. Change your look and your attitude, and you can be anyone’

      Twenty students of class V performed at the 27th Vasant Valley Drama Festival on 29 August 2018 at The Air Force Auditorium, Subroto Park. The theme of this festival was ‘Mystery Reports’ and our students presented a play titled ‘The case of the missing Mummy!’. A total of 17 schools took part in this drama festival which was conducted from 29 Aug to 31 Aug 2018. Our school put up a stupendous performance which was well appreciated by all.

      With some help from their teachers these children developed the play, scripted the dialogues and situations and improvised on their acting skills during their practice sessions. This gave them a rich opportunity to develop numerous social skills, showcase their creativity and improve their self expression. For these students it was a peek into the colourful world of theatre, on how to emote on stage and express themselves on a given topic.

      This festival was preceded by a drama workshop on the topic, ‘Creating suspense in a play’, which was held on 24 July 2018 at Vasant Valley School.

It’s a potent form of non verbal communication through which small children develop their motor skills effortlessly and efficiently. Children use their problem solving and critical thinking skills to deal with various aspects of drawing and coloring. It’s not only a great way for children to display their imagination and creativity but also helps in development of visual-spatial skills and to become more confident. Their drawings were a visual treat and were displayed in their class rooms.

                              72nd INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATIONS

                              The students and staff of The Air Force School commemorated 72 glorious years of freedom with celebrating the spirit of sacrifice made by the brave hearts of the India’s freedom struggle on 13 August 2018. As the air reverberated with the same spirit, the enthusiastic participants eagerly awaited the arrival of the Chief Guests, Air Commodore NPS Taprial Provost Marshal (Air) and Mrs Neeta Taprial. The Guest of Honour was Group Captain Ravindra Bhatnagar, Executive Director, The Air Force School.

                              The day unfolded with the unfurling of the Tricolour and everybody proudly singing the National Anthem.

                              The Principal, Ms Amita Gupta, welcomed the esteemed guests and emphasized that the sacrifices made by the great freedom fighters. Ma’am reiterated that freedom comes with responsibilities and it is important to free oneself from the mindset that does not allow one to see beyond personal interest.

                              After the welcome address, the five houses brought alive the trauma, the struggle and the sacrifice that our brave hearts made to achieve freedom. Aptly titled, the cultural programeDHADKAN HAI APNI AZAADI: HAI PRAAN SE PYAARI AZAADI,’ took everyone down the memory lane showcasing the struggle of the Indian Renaissance, the pain of partition, the brutality at the Jallianwala Bagh, and the sacrifices of the brave hearts.

                               

                              The momentous day came to an end with the inspiring words by the Chief Guest. Sir emphasized that though personal growth is important, one should not forget the growth of the nation. It is important to remember the soldiers serving at the border and must pay gratitude to them. His words filled every young heart with the feeling of patriotism.

                              The Chief Guest released the school magazine ‘The Aravalian’ for the academic session 2017-2018, on this occasion. It was a moment of pride for the entire team of ‘The Aravalian’, comprising of budding writers, editors and artists.

                                  English Department Activity

                                  Poster Making on synonyms, antonyms and contronyms

                                  Vocabulary (the knowledge of words and word meanings) is one of the key building blocks in learning a new language. The more words a learner knows the more they will be able to understand what they hear and read and the better they will become at expressing what they want to when speaking or writing. The larger a student’s vocabulary becomes, the easier it will be to connect a new word with words they already know.  A large vocabulary raises achievement and confidence and aids the student in becoming an independent learner.

                                  To further their love for language an  intra-class activity of poster making on synonyms, antonyms and contronyms was conducted for the students of class VIII by the English Department on Aug 16,2018. . The activity was conducted during the regular English period in the classroom.

                                  The objective of this activity was to  encourage children to use a range of vocabulary in their writing.The students participated in large numbers with great zeal and enthusiasm.

The cultural programme ‘Azadi ki Gatha – The Story Of India’s Independence’ started with a patriotic song ‘Ae Vatan Mere Vatan Aabad Rahey Tu’. The students took everyone down the memory lane showcasing the struggle and sacrifices of our brave legends through dance drama in colourful costumes with amazing props.

                                       The great leaders of our country like Mahatma Gandhi, Vallabh Bhai Patel, Mangal Pandey Rani Laxmibai, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Jawaharlal Nehru were portrayed by the young students. The revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev and Chandra shekhar Azad, all came alive on the stage shouting slogans.

                                                EVS Club (TAFS) celebrated Van Mahotsava on 2nd August 2018. A special assembly was organized by the students of EVS Club to mark the occasion. It began with a powerful speech by Kanika Mehrotra (IX-D), stressing on the need to change our attitude towards environment which was followed by an awe-inspiring poem recitation by Tanya Mudel (IX-D). It also held a mirror to our society sensitizing all, about a horrifying prospective reality deprived of the precious gifts by Mother Earth. A skit, performed by the students of class X was next in show, which related the importance of trees in our lives, and how they should always be our first priority. The choir mesmerized the audience with their harmonious tunes, and expression of our Mother Nature’s feelings.

                                                The commendable efforts of the students and teachers in organizing the assembly were highly appreciated by our respected Principal Ma’am, Ms. Amita Gupta. Ma’am also stressed on the need to be protective of nature as it responds to us the way we treat her. Her insight on this give-and-take relationship between Man and Nature was truly enlightening. The audience enjoyed the show thoroughly and expressed their appreciation with a loud round of applause.

As poetry recitation helps children to develop memorization, skills in self-expression, intonation and confidence, all students were encouraged to participate in this event. Children were happy to exhibit their talent and chose a variety of topics for their recitation like – nature, trees, flowers, mother, teacher, etc. They presented their poems with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm and the audience as well as judges were impressed by their display of talents.
