CHRONICLE

10th Volume of Som-Lalit Chronicle

A reminiscence of the happenings

that made school life exceptional and

phenomenal.

May the little CLAY MADE GANPATI

bestow his benign blessings on all of us ever more

and give us strength to move ahead in Life with deep faith in him.

01

With the opening of this letter, let

me take this chance to thank all

of you for giving us great co-

operation. Any work needs a

c o m p l e t e d e d i c a t i o n a n d

involvement to show a successful

outcome and this is not the task

of one person. It demands team

work and we are glad to say that

you have been a constant

support in helping us achieve our goals.

We try our Best to provide an educational friendly environment for the

kids and encourage them to give an outstanding performance in any front

they choose. In this fast paced world where everyone is immersed in

proving their caliber and to outshine others, we always provide a platform

to our students to respect their flaws, groom them and exhibit great

results. This in a way leads to a building of confidence and facing the

highly competitive era out there.

We look forward to upgrade our teaching methods every year and polish

our existing format of schooling which in turn gives us proud results. We

prepare ourselves to offer all that is needed for our student's bright

future. We strive to be the place, medium for our children to achieve their

future endeavors and secure their education.

Regards.

M. P. Shastri (Executive Director)

Dear Parents, Students and Teachers,

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression

and knowledge." These are the words of Albert Einstein, which we truly

endorse, at SomLalit School. This school not only upholds Ethics,

Traditional Values, Culture, but also inculcates Effective Communication

skills, and encourages Reflective and Creative thinking in each and every

student!

As I recapitulate this academic year, the first term has goneby smoothly, and I realize how

blessed we all are to be part of Som Lalit School. Our Administrators, Teachers and

Facilitators commit themselves with renewed energy every day, working hard, toward

creating a nurturing loving learning environment in which our students can strive to achieve

their best potential!

This paradigm shift from linear learning to hyper media and activity based learning, wherein

technology and pedagogy meet is dynamic. It's a shift from static instruction to construction

and connection with the basic concepts learnt,from teacher centric to student centric

education, which is notaimed at learning at the school level, but aimed at Learning for life!

We realize that Parents, School and teachers are a tripod stand that help and support each

other towards their common goal- a better future for every student. Thus at SomLalit School

every teacher is a Friend and Facilitator, in this trend of encouraging Proactive learning

amidst all students. Here Excellence is not a dream but a reality! This is apparent from the

laurels won by our school students in the Board Exams, academics, sports, and cultural

activities in various spheres of life .Qudos to all the Parents,Studentsand Teachers!

Last but not the least we have our Diwali vacation round the corner, soenjoy and come back

refreshed for a wonderful new term! Have a Happy Diwali and a Great New Year ahead!

ShyamaDatta. (Principal.)

with some amazing activities like Yoga, T-shirt activity, hand print

activity, gift exchange, memory game, some great music for them

fantastic for all of us. The closure of the event was handing over a

token of purity given to them, a Tulsi pot.

TOP FMHAVMOR

RELIANCE MUSEUM

A Group exploration or a sightseeing tour is always a fun way of educating kids through

experimental learning. Such field trips help to create a rapport between a teacher and the child

providing some chance to interact outside the school, thus, grooming their social and life skills.

Field ToursA Quick Glance Of The Trips

Commemorating and remembering Lord Krishna's birth ceremony filled the atmosphere with the sounds of '

GOVIND BOLO HARI GOPAL BOLO'. The cherubs dressed up as little Krishna and Radhas and made our

school look like an ancient scene of Vrundavan. The high luminaries carried out the lighting of the lamp and

pooja aarti. The celebration was a great time of triumph comprising of little Radha's dance, Dhun Chanting,

Matkifod and disco moves. Indeed everyone has Lord Krishna in them. Those adorable smiles spoke all of it.

For the Independence Day celebration, kids

prepared and spoke short lines on freedom

fighters, sang patriotic group songs and amazed us

with their grasping abilities.

Vinayak Chaturthi was celebrated with great fervor and earnestness. It was opened by a pious Ganesh Aarti by

the respected dignitaries. Also, a short story telling act on Lord Ganesha's important life episodes was enacted

by teachers which was stuffed with devotion and piousness. It was followed by a Ganpati Dhun and concluded

by distributing Prashad to the children.

INAUGURAL ASSEMBLIESAssemblies are a medium through which youngsters get an opportunity to enhance their

knowledge and upgrade their skills. The informative content of the Assembly like Facts, News,

Quotes, and speech inculcate a new intelligence and learning. Assembly boosts the kids to

overcome their insecurities and lack of confidence in facing the crowd and speak fluently with

certainty and fortitude. The inaugural assemblies have been a constant morale booster for the

kids. (THE ASSEMBLY CAPTURES).

Our Respected Principal Shyama Datta was

personally greeted on the occasion of

Teachers Day, 5th Sept. 2018 by our

Honorable PM SHRI NARENDRA MODIJI.

Teachers were coached and guided in a

workshop organized at our school. The agenda

was about Class Room Management and Do's

and don'ts of it.

Teacher's Workshop

Me and my company,

My Life and Me.

We sit hand in hand

Saw many come and many go,

A few stayed longer but still chose to go..

This made days, months, years and many

more,

Now we sit and smile to those who come,

and smile with tears to those who go..

Here we stay

Me and my company,

My Life and Me.

-Dhraa G. Parmar

The world that we live in today, all equipped and full of technology around has provided us with a lot of ease. But at

the same time, has gifted us something that has held us captive with Stress. We all have different perspectives and

reasons when we hear the word stress, but by definition, it means a state of mental or emotional strain or tension

resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances. It can be mental or physical. The advances in technology have

definitely freed us of the physical stress but if we probe further, it has equally added to our mental stress.

The stress can have two impacts, positive as well as negative. The positive stress is also known as eustress which is

the one that is constructive in nature and it helps us grow as an individual or the one that is caused out of pure

excitement of getting something done perfectly well. Eg: the one that we face at our workplace which helps in our

progress and boosts our performance. It is good to have it in the right amount and for the right reasons. The

negative stress is also known as distress. It occurs when a person is unable to cope up with a situation Eg: death of

a dear one, being hated or neglected, illness, divorce, etc.

Thus, make sure you turn all your distress in eustress and make yourself mentally, physically, spiritually and socially

peaceful. -Prepared by TENAZ ZAIWALA.

How beautiful is the flower,

The Flower

Earth- I Want PeaceI am big and round,

I wonder if there will be peace;

I hear the sound of people

Who are being killed,

I see the people crying for life,

I want to help my people to survive.

I am big and round,

I feel the weight of sorrow on me,

I want my people to be happy and

free,

I worry about their future in deep,

I cry for help from the heaven of

which I am beneath.

I am big and round,

I understand people and their

issues on me,

I pass my grace to the people,

I dream about my past,

I try to handle my sorrow,

I hope I won't be destroyed,

I hope I get my peace attained.

Education is the most important part of our life.

Without education we cant reach our heights of

success. Basic education is the right of every individual.

Education makes our life easy and it is not preparation

weapon which can fight the ups and downs that we

face due to the changing world scenarios.

When you are green, you are growing…' The Go Green carousal at our school

was full of awareness on how to preserve Mother Earth. The ideas they chose

to propagate the 'SAVE TREES, SAVE EARTH' theme were incredible. Moreover,

there was so much of dedication in each little act they performed. The cherubs

fancied themselves as trees by putting on green fineries and some add on.

They carried along small saplings and promised to grow it bigger and rear

them. The elder students acted out skits on conserving our planet and the little

descendants briefly travelled and rallied through school, corridors chanting

slogans. Each one of them aced their roles and made this day commendable

and admirable.

Yoga is an integral form of mind and body meditation that develops a calm

state of an individual in every way. The teens performed amazing yoga poses

and stretched their physical strength. It was a perfect day to celebrate our

overall being and experience a soothing atmosphere around.

Kids tried their artistic skills and the outcome was breath-taking

pieces of art.

The Best quality of a Human being is Empathy. When we had a

whole space filled with aid for kerela flood striken victims, we

were proud to say that our children and staff members possess

the above quality to the core. They gathered and executed such

an act of benevolence towards the human race with utmost

concern and whole heartedness. They provided all the basic

needs that could be of help to all those suffering the result of the

natural calamity in kerela.

Kerela Funds

A team of doctors conducted a Health Check up at our school.

This included General Physical, Dental and Eye Check up of our

students. Children co-operated and followed the instructions as

per the guidance. It was an essential move and the kids learnt

that Health is of great importance now and always.

Medical Check-Up

The solo playacting competition had a varied choice

of people made by the disciples. They showcased

themselves exactly like the character chosen and

made it real by tagging their dialogues with depth

and involvement. It was a tough clash as each on

was a class in their own way. But the judges

unanimously came to a joint conclusion and

appreciated the efforts of all those who participated

and announced the best performers for that day.

Mono Acting Competition

The trip to Balasinor and Dinosaur Park

was memorable and notable. Children

relished each moment of the day with a lot

of craze and mirth. The picnic was surely a

way to spend some favorable time with

their fellow mates and make it a pleasant

day to remember. Food, snacks, games,

trekking made the kids want a longer day

to extend their stay at the venue. It was an

enjoyable and truly a dawn-to dark fun day.

The pure and emotional bond of Brother-Sister was celebrated

with abundance of joy and love. The boys were tied Rakhis by

their little sisters and the brothers in turn promised to be around

them in time of need and help. They spread the thought of the

sibling connection. The jollification brought a feeling of warmth,

responsibility and warm fellowship

Rakshabandhan

A five leveled Sanskrit test was conducted in our

school under the banner of Shri Bruhad Sanskrit

Parishad. Students performed well and got a new

experience getting assessed by the external teams

that are renowned and highly acquainted with the

traditional language. We encourage students to

involve in such competitive exams and groom their

language skills

On the occasion of observing the cleanliness drive

we took a pledge to keep our surroundings clean.

Students rallied, shouted slogans and displayed

posters supporting the drive.

Swachh Bharat AbhiyanThe Teachers Day ceremony was the most likable and gratifying

day at school. The teen students organized the whole day in the

appreciation of their educators. They prepared cards, recited

thoughts, performed dance, educated the other students,

decorated the staff room premises and gave a day of complete

fun and amusement to their faculties. The mentors thoroughly

enjoyed each activity and took back the endless memories our

children gifted them.

Oklahoma Astronaut Corn Maze Photographed

From Space

It’s apt that a maze cut into an Oklahoma cornfield

featuring the likeness of a former NASA astronaut can

be seen from space — and has been photographed by

a satellite orbiting Earth.

The image of Oklahoma-born Thomas P. Stafford is

cut into a 10-acre field at P Bar Farms in Hydro, about

60 miles west of Oklahoma City.

The maze was created in partnership with the Stafford

Air and Space Museum, named for the astronaut, in

nearby Weatherford.

A satellite photographed the tribute from its orbit 400

miles away.

The 88-year-old Stafford is a Weatherford native

whose space missions included commanding the

Apollo flight that linked with a Soviet spacecraft in

1975. It was the first meeting of American astronauts

and Soviet cosmonauts in space.
