We had organised bookschoonic where students read a book and portrayed the characters in real life. We even had mystery reading and mask mannequin competitions.

The student of GDGPS were made ensure that they get the vaccination so that no one gets effected by the virus of these diseases. This vaccination was given under the supervision of our nurse Ms. Sarita Chettri.

LAB ACTIVITIES Exposure to lab activities has become a crucial part of the learning experience for our kids as it lets our kids experience the concepts on their own under the supervision of their teachers. In our school we have dedicated labs for Maths, Science, Computer, Language and Robotics. During lessons, kids are taken to these labs so that they can have a first-hand experience of the concepts and curiously investigate, inquire and apply the concepts so as to understand the topics in a better way and develop cognitive abilities without losing interest.

Innovations helps our kids explore and understand new aspects of a topic. It also helps them be more creative and sharpens their minds. Some recent innovative activities done by our kids are: Recycle Reuse Reduce: Grade 3 students planted vegetable plant saplings in disposed plastic bottles. They learnt and understood the importance of recycling and reusing available resources for the conservation of our environment. Through this activity they also learnt about sustainability and the importance of saving and protecting our planet. English Story Plot Creation: Students of grade 4 made a farm out of materialslike mud,rocks and plants. They also placed a scarecrow in it. This looked similar to the farm in their story and helped the kids understand the plot more clearly.





HOUSE BOARD DECORATIONS School house boards are the source of information both for the reacders and for the makers. Its very good interactive tool where students can be updated with the latest happening around them. Children always prefer to have some entertainment while they are studying and therefore you need to provide them with some education that looks like entertainment and these display boards are one of the ultimate means to provide education in one of the best ways. The best thing about display boards is that you can decorate and elicit it in the way you want it and therefore you can use it as a learning tool for students. Display boards can also bring out the creativity in students and they enjoy when their creativity is appreciated. This month the house boards were decorated on the theme Academic Gains.
