The visit was made meaningful by making it interactive. Students could get hands on knowledge from the staff allotted for this visit. 

We are genuinely thankful to the management of both the Industries for extending their valuable support and giving us this memorable learning opportunity.

TACTICS TO TACKLE SOCIAL SCIENCE
Social Science is considered a lengthy and difficult subject for students to prepare for exam.  So, a workshop was conducted to make the learning of the subject easier. It was a different kind of training.  Parents of the middle section students were shown some tactics by which their wards would find learning Social Science for the exam somewhat easier.

An initiative of the VP, Ms. Noopur Desai, the workshop was conducted efficiently by her teachers. A team comprising of special educators Shivani Joshi, Rashmi Lalwani, Tapaswini Gajjar and S.S. teachers Doyel Ganguly and Debaraty Bhattacharya made an impressive presentation and also had practical demonstration with parents volunteering to be students.After an introduction by Ms. Shivani Joshi, the session began with Ms. Rashmi Lalwani explaining the different types of learners – visual, auditory, kinesthetic.  While visual learners remember colours, handwriting, auditory learners concentrate on the spoken word and kinesthetic learners prefer hands-on learning.  She demonstrated these with the help of parents.

Ms. Doyel Ganguly explained the teaching of history in an interesting way – by relating historical characters to cartoon characters that students are fond of.  She also suggested the popular game of snakes and ladders to explain rise and fall of leaders and empires.Ms. Debarati’s method of teaching geography was practical and applicable.  She suggested making of acronyms to remember facts.  She likened countries on the map to shapes of common objects that students are familiar with and thus would remember easily.Ms. Tapaswini Gajjar showed interesting methods of learning with the use of puppets, tables and trays for classification of information.  She also suggested a simple method of using fingers to remember facts.

The session gave positive ideas to parents who help their wards prepare Social Science for exams.  They lauded the efforts of the teachers and even suggested having such workshops for others subjects.

Mythology Quiz competition ‘Bhavatu Bharatam’

Mythology plays an important role to keep us connected to our cultural phenomenon. In the present world of digitisation it is important to educate students, through different activities, about our age old mythology so as to evoke interest in them about our tradition.

Inter School Mythology Quiz competition ‘Bhavatu Bharatam ‘was conducted by St.Kabir School , Ahmedabad on 7th January,2017. Armed with great preparedness and guidance by their able educators. , four students of IX standard participated in the competition .The pair of IX G, Harshal Oza and Satya Aditya Chittavarjula stood first in the written round to qualify for the stage round. There were several rounds where our students exhibited their talent and knowledge. They were adjudged the second runner up in the competition and were awarded with a trophy and certificates. The other two participants from IX H, Aditya Acharya and Vidhika Marodia were given certificates of appreciation.

The morning of 7th January found the stage at Gujarat University Convention Hall set for the Annual Day celebrations of Primary School. The program encompassed the Indian culture at its full grandeur and brought to forth feelings of patriotism amidst dances, drama and music. The program began with lighting of the lamp and a prayer song. Shiv Tandav at the beginning was extremely apt and moved on to introduce the audience to Dasha Avatar. As the ten avatars of Vishnu enfolded, the audience were left awestruck with wonder at the impeccable performance of the little ones. Next came the colourful folk dances of states of Goa, Gujarat, Punjab and Maharashtra. India is a land of diversity and this was portrayed adeptly in a mime by the children. Peacock dance and Save the Tiger dance did justice to our national animal and bird while raising consciousness about saving animals. Women empowerment is the need of the day and today women are moving shoulder to shoulder with men and this was enacted through a beautiful dance. Finally the program ended with the national song, Vande Mataram. Our heartfelt thanks to the parents and dignitaries for being such a wonderful audience; to the teachers who have coordinated the program painstakingly over the last couple of months and especially the children who worked relentlessly with full enthusiasm and enthralled the audience with their mesmerising performance.
