THE NIGHT IS JUST PART OF THE DAY “This is the end of the day, but soon there will be a new day.”-Bernard Williams Concepts give shape and meaning to individual facts, allowing students a far deeper understanding of their significance. Teaching conceptual skills makes teaching more meaningful. Young explorers learnt the concept of day and night through a Power Point presentation followed by a craft activity. This activity aimed at the integration of the functional grasp of the taught concept as well as the retention of the same. 55 JANUARY 2022

Dear Readers, The third year of disruption is going on but teaching and learning shall never cease. If cessation has to be witnessed, should be of insecurities and fears. As the pandemic drags on, we need be more vigilant. Irrespective of the situation prevailing, BIS would continue rendering services to students and parents. Now, with January coming to a close, lets brace up for the forthcoming months, which indeed is a period of anxiousness. Children, it’s time for burning midnight oil and to come out with flying colors. Do you know there’s a beautiful balance between fear and courage? Without fear, we do foolish things and without courage we dread venturing into unknown. The magic is in balancing fear and courage. Children, let not your fear undermine your courage. Prove your mettle not only in the upcoming examination but also exhibit your exemplary performance in the upcoming Bhavans Poetica and Science and Math Exhibition. See you soon! Thanks and Regards, Editorial Team (Staff & Students) Designed by, The Department of Computer Science. 77 JANUARY 2022
