Friendship Day Celebration
A hug is worth a thousand words, a friend is worth more!
As the world gears up for international friendship day on 5th of August, the Pre primary and Primary celebrated it on 1st Aug where
children presented an exciting, fun filled program in the assembly.
The spirit of friendship and importance of friends in our life was
shown through a dramatization performed by our Pre-primary students.
Children of Grade I and II celebrated friendship day by tying handmade friendship bands to each other.
Grade III & IV exchanged cards which they made in their Art class with their friends
Raksha Bandhan
Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of the abiding and immaculate
bond of love between brother and sister.
Raksha Bandhan was celebrated in our school a day before the
festival. The teachers explained the significance of the festival in
their respective classes while the excited girls tied the auspicious
thread(Rakhi)around the wrist of the boys who gave sweets and
chocolates in exchange.
The most exciting thing about this celebration was that the girls tied hand-made Rakhis to their classmates.
They learnt Rakhi –making in their art class and finally ended up making beautiful Rakhis out of their creativity.
Overall we recall this celebration as a sweet memory in our records and hope you also are happy to hear that
we celebrate all Indian festivals with similar joy & enthusiasm in our school through out the year.

JANMASHTAMI CELEBRATIONS
Our campus wore a festive look on Janmashtami with the students in colourful attires of Radha and Krishna being prepared for the
`Matki
Todh' event which happened amidst all the Primary students and was of much enthusiasm. The significance of
Krishna’s birth and his role as a mentor in the historian
times was recalled.
The whole Pre Primary block was excited as they celebrated Janmashtami with the mesmerising dance and song
performances by students dressed up as cherubic little Radhas & Krishnas. The Makhanchor scene stole the show
& thrilled the crowd.
The staging of an event out of Krishna’s life, was shown
by the Pre-Primary students. The scene showing Krishna’s
mother making curds, butter etc. was amusing while
Krishna was shown busy teasing the girls while playing
the flute (Bansuri). The play was enjoyed by all.

TEA TIME TALK
Tea time was hosted for parents of Grade III and Grade IV during this month and we are happy to receive positive responses about the happenings of our school from our parents.
Parent suggestions are of a great value addition to our student outcome, whether it is academics or non-academics and we have taken the suggestions with a positive note and made
strong affirmations among ourselves as a team, that we shall certainly make a difference in
the life of each child being here with us. Parent consistent support in this regard is highly recommended
SCHOOL ASSEMBLY
We are making our School assembly as effective as possible with a new concept being
learnt everyday. Our assembly comprises of an inspiring Thought for the Day , Sayings of
Legendary personalities like Swami Vivekananda , Rama Krishna Paramahamsa , Sir. C.V.
Raman , Mother Teresa etc.
We host General Knowledge questions during the assembly days so that the horizons of
knowledge expand amongst our students. We also dramatize a value based story so that
students learn life-skills which are more important and a priority of a student’s life.
CLASS PREFECTS of the Primary grades were adorned with their badges by the Principal during one of the assemblies during this month. Principal mam briefed them about
their roles and responsibilities as Leaders in their class and how they can be identified as

CLASS ROOM ACTIVITIES
As a part of our activity sessions we have introduced a concept called “Word of the Day” in our
classrooms. Students will have an opportunity to enhance their vocabulary with this concept as they
will explore new words every day, discuss about that with their classmates and write at least 3 sentences based on the new word that they have learnt . So isn’t that interesting, dear Parents ?
This month our students performed an exciting role play about the concept –
Giving Surprises !
Grade III students did an activity in Science about :How Farmers grow fruits & vegetables ? How they harvest their crop ?
How they sell their harvest in the market to earn money !
(SOF)OLYMPIAD EXAMS
We are very happy to announce that we have about 50 + registrations for the nationwide known Olympiad
exams which cater to Science, Math, International English and General Knowledge based tests.
These tests are likely to happen in the month of October and our students are enthusiastically getting prepared to face these competitive papers. Students are using referrals like newspapers , digests , internet research and several other aids which would help them get an idea of what and how to prepare for the tests.
We wish them good luck and see them as High fliers soon.
THE Xseed ... ( I CAN CHALLENGE )
Individuals with social learning challenges have multiple opportunities to engage in social activities across a
day, but their success greatly depends on the skills and experience they have to negotiate with each encounter.
Social problem-solving is an important skill for living in a social world. Some have limited skills and experience identifying and solving social dilemmas, which may place them at future risk for being socially isolated.
Thus , our educators of Surya Academy have taken up a challenge with the Project :- Hand Holding ( an initiative shown by our Principal ) and are seeking additional resources to meet the needs of students studying
in Government schools and who are struggling with social learning weaknesses.
We Can Make It Better!
By involving our students in this mission we want to provide our students with safe and motivating social
problem-solving practice. With the right tools, practice and understanding, students can learn how to make
good choices — in their thoughts, actions and words — that result in improved social interactions. With a bank
of successes to draw upon and opportunities to generalize their way of thinking to real-life situations, they may
increase their potential for positive social interactions in the future.

Ganesh
chathurthi, on 28th August ,
we conducted Eco-Friendly
Ganesh Idol making competition for our children. Our Primary children participated in
making Ganesh idols with

Ganeshas were made in an
eco-friendly way without using chemical powders, colours or paints.
It was really a joyous occasion that we witnessed. The
innovative creativity brought
out from the children was really praise worthy. Every idol
made was different from each
other reflecting the minds and
hearts of our Primary students. They truly deserved an
applaud for a great job done !

FAMILY DAY CELEBRATION :The Importance of Family Bonding
Amazing things can happen when a family
comes together to do things together.
A family that can bond together will be a family
that is united forever.
Decades of research have shown that most happy families communicate effectively. But talking doesn’t mean simply “talking “ Talking also means telling a positive story about yourselves.
To inculcate this special feeling about bonding
in the Family , we celebrated love, connection
and the uniqueness of our parent families on the
30th August as “Family Day”
We had our lovely parents dressed in ethinic Indian wear and absolutely stunning . They enjoyed the day as they watched their kids sing ,
talk and dance.
They described themselves as a happy family,
and recalled some of their family’s positive
moments. It was a memorable event for us to
cherish .

teachers & parents about their memorable trip out of school
for a day.
