Let us welcome an interesting extension of summer!
On February 20, the MDIS students celebrated the World Day of Social Justice by doing activities to celebrate human differences. The diversity activities taught young children to respect and celebrate the differences in all people. Learning about different cultural aspects offered a new experience for children.
It helped them realize that we’re all humans, despite differences in how we look or dress, or what we eat or celebrate.
Teachers tried to introduce all types of differences with various activities.
“We have to make kindness the norm, not the exception.” To instill this thought in the students, teachers of MDIS celebrated Random acts of Kindness day on February 17, 2021.
The teachers discussed with the students how they could make others happy, by expressing it in words and without expecting anything in return.
Some of the ideas that students suggested were:-
To compliment someone.
Call a family member who you haven’t spoken for a while.
Make someone smile….
The students celebrated this day by expressing kindness through words only.
They proved the words “Kindness is a gift that everyone can afford to give”, right.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious… the students depicted the image in their mind by decorating doors on the occasion of Valentine’s Day.
Every year 14th February is celebrated to send wishes to their loved ones. This year the students decorated the doors to show their love for their parents and grandparents.
The vibrant colours and out of the box ideas used by the students of MDIS, were a treat to the eye!
A day to encourage out of the box thinking and invent something. The day of February 11, every year is celebrated to encourage children to be curious about the world around them and to be creative while solving problems.
The teachers of MDIS conducted an online quiz competition to inspire them to become inventors. The students participated and were surprised to know about some inventions, that they had never heard about.
They could also relate to the proverb “Necessity is the mother of Invention”, after listening to some additional information given by the teachers.
Everyone loves and appreciates their friends. In the last few months because of the pandemic many students could not meet their friends. On the occasion of the National send a card to a friend day the students took the opportunity to appreciate their friends with cards and E-cards.
A small gesture that they couldn’t imagine made a difference and brought smiles. Some of the students drew beautiful pictures of their friends to depict their friendship
World Cancer Day unites the world’s population in the fight against cancer. The teachers took an awareness session where the importance of the day was told to the students. A healthy behaviour amongst the children, staff, parents, families and the community with good nutrition and physical activity were discussed.
A cross curricular project to raise awareness about cancer to prevent cancer was discussed. The students were alarmed to know that 17 people die every minute from cancer in the world. Every year the World Cancer Day is celebrated with a theme. Students were made aware of the themes and the purpose behind them.
“Youth is the best time. The way in which you utilize this period will decide the nature of coming years that lie ahead of you.” These were the words of Swami Vivekananda who was born on January 12,1863.
He was a spiritual leader and social reformer. His lectures, writings, letters, poems, ideas motivated not only the youth of India but also the whole world.
“Swami Vivekananda accorded great importance to youth power towards nation-building and universal brotherhood. Swami Ji considered education to be a continuous process in which all aspects of life, such as physical, intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual should be imbibed. His contribution to the creation of a new modern India is incredible”.
On this day, the country’s youth is expected to rise to the values, principles and beliefs that the great monk lived by. The main objective is to promote rational thinking among the youth, believed to be the future of the country. It expected the youth to fight for the right and channel their inner energies, just like Swami Vivekananda would have.
Let us all salute to the “Great Indian Youth Icon”.
Happy Trivia-ing
January 4, is celebrated as the National Trivia Day. It is about bits of information and data that are of little value. If you enjoy wowing your friends with interesting stats and frivolous facts, today is your day to shine!
The students of MDIS noted the recipe for success while looking into the previous year and keeping the New Year resolution in mind.
For this they would need
2 cups effort
2 cups kindness
1 handful of curiosity
3 tablespoon honesty
2 cups teamwork
1 cup excitement to learn
1 handful fairness
Sprinkle of pride in your work
Method
Combine all ingredients with a gentle hand and a loving heart.
While trying out this new recipe the kids carried out various activities by expressing what they want, need, share and success.
Self-reflection proved beneficial for one and all!
Happy Covid free year ahead!
“Mathematics is the music of reason”
With an aim to create an interactive and interesting learning of Mathematics, MDIS celebrated the birth anniversary of Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan who made and exemplary contribution to Mathematics. There were many activities planned to integrate Maths with Art. Activities ranged from 2D figures to colours to visual art concepts with the help of maths. A tissue paper collage of abstract art was used to do activities too. Our little wonders thoroughly enjoyed the time telling activity. By celebrating the National Maths Day students learned how to appreciate art and how mathematics is applicable in real world situations.
It was the night before Christmas. The stockings were hung by the chimney. When out in the lawn there arose a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what’s the matter? When my wondering eyes did appear, a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer. With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick….
He took me along with him to the 3rd century…. On the occasion of the Time Traveler Day, I am going back in time.
December 8, 2020 is Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.
Where would you like to travel? In the past or the future? What would you like to see? Get into a character and walk in the shoes of someone else. While doing so…..
