It com- memorates the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, who, due to his love for chil- dren was fondly known as Chacha Nehru.

ENGLISH Understanding poems makes a child sensitive and writing them makes them crea- tive. Writing a rhythmic poem or a melodious song is the best way to express oneself. A poem is something that comes from the heart. Poems usually bring out the deepest thoughts and expressions. All students composed their respective poems describing their favourite character. Their talent and confidence was uplifted as they went on to pen down their innovative ideas which further enhanced their thinking and learning skills.

SOCIAL STUDIES The process of collecting, organizing, and analyzing data is not always a simple, sequential process for grade 4 students in Social Studies.

Students might be interested in finding out what will happen if the production of iron is increased in the same quantity for many years. Why the production of Nickel increased in 2008 and 2009? Students in groups analyzed these facts in detail.
