We celebrated National Science Day on 28^th February.  Classes from II to VI wholeheartedly participated in the programme.  In the morning session, IV to VI students demonstrated many experiments based on air pressure, density, electricity, aid – base reaction expansion of solids on heating, surface tension, etc.  All students were very much excited in watching the experiments and also in explaining to others.  Our Principal Madam and other teachers visited all experiments and gave a good comment on them. 

In the afternoon session, the students from II to VI Std, participated in different programmes.  It started with a prayer song.  Then Varun from IV – C delivered a speech on Science Day.  He mentioned about the Raman Effect discovered by Sir.C.V.Raman. III Std students performed a villuppattu on the life and works of C.V.Raman which was followed by a skit in which V Std students explained how C.V.Raman discovered Raman effect.  Many students performed in skits which depicted the life of many eminent scientists like Albert Einstein, Newton, etc.  Students explained the importance of herbs like Tulsi, usage of first aids, sense organs, etc., through different skits.

            Every year the Human Rights Day is observed on the 10^th of December across the whole world.  Broadly speaking, ‘Human Rights’ means right to life, liberty, equality and the dignity of an individual irrespective of caste, creed or sex.  In the year 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

            Students of class 6, celebrated the ‘Human Rights day’ by making posters based on the rights and abuse of the same in various countries of the world.

Few students also spoke on ‘Human Rights’. This was followed by group discussion on the importance of ‘Human Rights’.  

            Kindness towards other living beings should be instilled in children from a young age.  World meatless day provided an opportunity for that.  In order to create awareness in the mind of children about the importance of vegetarianism and compassion towards animals.  World Meatless day was celebrated on November 25.  Students from classes III to VI participated.  Class three students prepared slogans and posters.  Some of the slogans were ‘How can you eat anything eyes’, ‘East or West Veg is the best’, ‘Go vegetation be humanitarians’.  With their banners and posters they took out a procession within the school campus.  Class V students did drawings and colourings based on the theme.  The senior most batch class VI spoke from their heart.  They prepared thought provoking posters that spoke about compassion, conservation and their concerns about mother earth and her children.

Rabindranath Tagore was perhaps India’s most prolific and most influential men of letters ever.  Tagore consistently spoke against the inequalities perpetrated by the British Raj.  A great deal of his writings was patriotic and the national anthems of both India and Bangladesh were written by him.  He was truly a Renaissance man.

We celebrate Tagore’s 150^th birth anniversary in our school campus on 28^th October.  The programme started with a prayer, followed by a speech on Tagore’s life and work.  Vineetha & Sanjana santosh of class 6 recited Tagore’s poem. “Where the mind is without fear” and “The gift”. Srikrishna of class 6 wrote a poem on Tagore and recited it.

The highlight of the programme was the play “Kabuliwala” , staged by students of class 6. This is one of the most popular short stories written by the great writer.

            The programme came to an end with a speech by our Headmistress, Mrs.Hemalatha Seshadiri and vote of thanks by a student of class 6.
