"An important day is remembered by a child only when they understand the significance of the occasion."
Celebrating festivals and events at Gurukul is an integral part of learning upholding the motto of 'Modernity with Tradition'.
To seek the blessings of Lord Krishna, our innocent and ever excited Gurukulites of Nursery and KG assembled on a virtual platform which was heartwarming and mesmerising.
Children danced beautifully and confidently on songs dedicated to Sri Krishna. Our little stars also saw a Power Point presentation to understand how we decorate our schools and places and make beautiful tableaux. They heard about Kanha's childhood activities. Our tiny tots were dressed up as beautiful Radha and cute Krishna which gave a traditional touch to the entire celebration.
“Language creates reality. Words have power. Speak always to create joy.”
Gurukul The School Crossings Republik , organized Online Show and Tell Activity on 16th and 17th of July 2020 to strengthen the verbal skills and to foster public speaking competency of the young minds.
The students of Grade - I participated in this activity which helped them to build their self-confidence and self-esteem.
Some of them spoke about their favorite toy relating it to their aim in life. Posters and scenes were prepared by the students to show and tell which added to the beauty of the presentation and helped the children to discover the power of spoken words.
Thus, this event helped our children to build their social, emotional and language skills.
It was an interesting and a thrilling experience for the children as they could share their feelings about the object or the creation with their peers which provided fun and comfortable learning arena for everyone involved
The Annual Show – Blue Gold presented by the students of Grade I to V gave an important message to all – Save Water’s Fate. Blue Gold was and ensemble of creativity, confidence, energy and an immensely valuable thought of ‘saving water’. The show began with a splash vibrant colours showing the ‘Expressions of Nature’ staged under the UV lights by the students of Grade II. The folk dance ‘O Nadi’ depicted gratitude to the rivers for nourishing our motherland. The most riveting performance which took the heart of the audience was the skit ‘Shahi Khazana’ which besides giving the message of saving water was most applauded for the theatrical skills of the students. This was followed by ballet dance, a treat to eyes and a display of immaculate coordination, which very intensely depicted that it will be too late if we don’t act now. Next was a Qwwaali presented by the students of Grade I that drew everybody’s attention through an enlightening satire to expose and create awareness about water wastage around us. Making the audience aware about the need of saving ‘Virtual Water’ was the ‘The Gurukul Talk Show’ that informed the audience about the need of wasting less to save Virtual Water. It left everyone awestruck with the display of oratory skills of young Gurukulites. The show culminated with Grand Finale, a dance, which gave hope of returning to the days of abundance and happiness found in the lap of nature. The whole mission of ‘Blue Gold’ translated our Vision of ‘Educating the Child and Influencing the Home’ into reality when our Gurukulites turned into ‘Water Heroes’ and involved their families too in the drive of saving water.
Interactive Session with parents of Grade I was held on 07.09.2019 which promoted an insight and understanding into the learning of Mathematics. Parents appreciated the emphasis laid on mathematisation activities and skills taken care at school rather than procedural and rote learning. The parents were overwhelmed to know how learning could become easy and joyful if education was child centric.
