Dear Parent

The new academic session began , bringing with it fervour and enthusiasm to reach heights never

reached before . We once again greeted the new session with new hopes and aspirations in

abundance. The zest of previous year did not wane but it only infused a trend of surging ahead till

we bettered the best.

We firmly believe that learning is multidimensional , thereby , we prepare our tiny tots to compete

in global arena so as to emerge out to bring laurels to the school and nation .The onus of

responsibility lies on the parents and teachers who need to set standards which may be emulated

by the students .We recognize that in order to be successful in school , our children need support

both from home and school. We know that such a strong partnership always makes a great

difference in the child’s education .

We believe that guiding the children to outshine in whatever they do is the key to success. The

first two months have been very exciting and interesting for students and teachers. Throughout

these months , festivals and important days such as Baisakhi,Mother’s Day, Earth Day etc were

celebrated . Apart from these celebrations , our little ones were exposed to many interesting

activities . We hope that the entire academic session would be a period of such great learning for

our tiny tots .

Wishing you all a very happy and enriching summer vacation!

FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL Welcoming the exciting new session on the first day of School

It was truly an overwhelming day for the Primary Wing , MVN Aravali Hills. The teachers witnessed the enthralling, vivacious students entering in full swing to learn, cherish and explore a new horizon of life. Teachers and staff welcomed the tiny tots with great warmth and excitement .Children were personally led by their mentors to their new classrooms .They were then engaged in welcome activities like writing about themselves ,their friends ,their favourite things and colouring etc. These activities were carefully planned to ensure that they carry back those small things created by them to show to their proud parents.

A UNIQUE INITIATIVE BY MVN “Play is our brain’s favourite way of learning”

Physical activities instill positive habits in the children and build self confidence and

social interaction. They are an essential and indispensable part of life. They have always

nurtured and supported academics. We have tried to amalgamate playing and learning.

Physical activities like yoga, meditation, gymnastics, aerobics, zumba have been

integrated with the regular curriculum. These activities are interwoven into our daily

school schedule. A fitness planner is sent to the parents weekly to keep them apprised

about these activities. This unique programme will surely enhance their psychomotor,

cognitive ,kinesthetic and retention skills.
