GRADE 5 Newsletter

DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL NADERGUL GRADE V NEWSLETTER D 2022-23 Dear parents, I take the pleasure and honour in welcoming you all to the new academic session 2023-24 and bidding adieu to the last year. The year came with its challenges post the covid time and the paramount responsibility was for the teachers in bringing back the social and the psychological bonding that was missing on the digital platform. The first term was spent more in strengthening this bond and bringing the children back to the forefront of learning. To me it was a heartening sight to see the grounds filled with the laughter of children and the classrooms vivid with their exuberance. Never again would I envisage education completely on the online mode though the hybrid model is here to stay. I once again wish all of you happy tidings of the new academic session and welcome your ward to an exciting enriching learning year ahead.
