Dear Parent,

Greetings from DPS-Miyapur!

Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.

John Wooden

November, the last month of autumn and the start of the early winters has also been a month that

has witnessed the inception of an upcoming grand celebration of DPS-Miyapur, the Annual Sports

Day. The students, and teachers have put in their best efforts with rigorous practice sessions,

uncountable brainstorming sessions and a lot of hard work to make the event a grand success. The

multitaskers Dipsites along with their preparation of Sports Day have also enthusiastically

participated in the various events and competitions keeping their academics at par.

The eventful month commenced with the Science Exhibition, namely, ‘Reckonact’ on 2nd

and 3rd

November 2018, organized by DPS, Miyapur for the students of Grades V to VIII to inculcate and

encourage the scientific temper amongst students. The vision and theme of the science exhibition is

reflected on the name itself, Reckonact, which implies to reckon and act to end poverty, protect

mother Earth and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Science has played an important

role in improving and enhancing our lives with modern and innovative technologies However, rapid

economic development comes at a cost. Hence, it is the time for us to reckon and act so that we

continue to make progress but life on earth too sustains. DPS, Miyapur aims to provide a platform

for the young enthusiasts to share ideas and exchange thoughts on Sustainable development that

spreads awareness towards the Global Goals shared by United Nations to foster and achieve

harmony between environment sustainability, economic sustainability and socio-political

sustainability. The two-day exhibition also encouraged students to think, communicate, collaborate

and be digitally literate. It aimed to foster futuristic learning through the various projects and

assignments done by the students that reflects the four goals, namely Good Health and well-being,

Clean water and Sanitation, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure and Sustainable Cities and

Communities out of a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals that United Nations aims to achieve

by 2030 to make the world a better place to live and thrive in. The students of Grade V to VIII

displayed various projects based on the four SDGs that were equally creative, visually attractive and



well presented. The judges, teachers and parents equally applauded the hard work, effort and the

creativity of the students.

Festive spirit was in the air at school when DPS, Miyapur, held a special assembly on

Deepavali, the festival of lights on 5th

November, 2018. The assembly was conducted by the

students of Grade IV. Lighting of lamps, speeches, dance performances, recitation of poems and

a special song were the highlights of the assembly. All the participants were dressed up in

ethnic attire. Students of Grades IV in traditional costumes staged a presentation highlighting

the diversities in the celebration of Deepavali across the country.



Clay modelling is a great way to develop a child’s fine motor skills, imagination and spark

creativity. To enhance the creativity in children, a competition on Clay Modelling was conducted on

13th

November, 2018 in the school premises of DPS, Miyapur for the munchkins of Lkg and

Grade I. The topic for the competition for Grade I was ‘Clothes and Clothing Accessories’ and

‘Fruits’ for LKG. The Children of Grade I got colourful clay doughs for the competition and

presented beautiful clay models with great enthusiasm. The LKG students were seen enjoying

with clay, pinching, rolling, squeezing and pushing to make different shapes. Children made

beautiful models of fruits and neatly arranged them on plates. It was a treat to see their

perfectly made smooth yellow bananas with a black and green stem, red watermelon,

blueberries, grapes, tiny red cherries, green apples, tender coconut, pineapple and oranges

which tiny dots. The one that really caught our eye was the green coconut with a straw - ready

to drink. The main objective of the competition was to stimulate the imagination of the children and

enable them to give a better shape to their creativity. Assessment was based on creativity, neatness

and presentation.

DPS aims to educate the child as a whole, adding values

and principles to their intellectual development. The

Senior Kindergarten of DPS, Miyapur conducted a Fancy

dress competition on 19th

November 2018 on community

helpers.

Children were dressed like doctors, policeman, nurse,

teachers, store keeper, plumber and advocate. Each child

spoke a few words to explain the role of community helpers in the society. Few children expressed

the reason for choosing the costume while few imitated the personality they choose and delivered

dialogues. Children exhibited their colourful costumes, props and spoke with confidence. Children

were judged on different parameters. This competition served as an opportunity for children to

understand the diversity in the community and the dignity of labour. It was aptly said by

Albert Einstein — 'I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they

can learn.'

We, the Kindergarten wing of DPS Miyapur heartily congratulate the winners of the fancy dress

competition.
