the lap of a mother - the child's heaven - amity...

The lap of a mother - The Child's HeavenA systematic education happens in the child, only when three Ps - the

Parent, the Pupil and the Pedagogue co-ordinate and integrate well. The

key aspects, therefore, should encircle in ignition around the child, the pupil,

the core at creation. Consequently, it is only the Mother who has to be

competent enough to make the triggering ends meet .She is the only closest

one to encounter and assess the little one to respond for all the academic

and behavioural challenges. For ages, hence, much has been written and

elaborated on the role of a mother which is so indispensible. And, the maxim,

"The mother is more influential than hundred teachers 'affirms the entire

unspoken in relevant context.

The mother's role begins to unfold with the birth of a child as she always

keeps a sweet call of his name encouraging him to step for further towards

the school. The lap of the mother is still sought by the child while stepping in

the uncertain world. It is 'here ', that our school inter plays and strengthens

the bond to overcome the dilemma. The child finds himself at home in the

school and the mother is able to abide in faith. This faithfulness and the

confidence entrusted on our pedagogue enabled us to form an association

"Mother's Club" . The perception to enrich the "Motherhood" in the growth

of the child and, thus, enabling her to match with the modern trends of

schooling prepared the Mother's Club to address awareness programmes.

Finally, the Mission Statement of our institution to work with one to one

correspondence to make the learning and unlearning happen showed us

the unseen. The activities of the Mother's Club initially couldn't catch

acceleration but now are full-fledged in momentum and gaining an insight. It

has all been possible due to the active involvement and concern of our

educators in Amity Play Centre. At present, we have just few members on

the roll, but the enthusiasm that kindled every phase has surely been an

uplift in the motion. Our society is the reflection of a rich variety in our culture,

and truly it is seen through the Mother's Club in our school.

Preface

This 63rd issue is an acknowledgement about Mother's Club and its

various activities conducted for the Mothers from (Nursery to Std. 12). The

mothers have penned their enriching experiences and the educators have

narrated about the positive aspects of Mother's Club on the psychological

development of the child. The reports of the various educational experiments

since last seven months have also been incorporated along with the worth

reading articles of the eminent educationists and child psychologist.

It is really now pleasing to find that abundant opportunities of learning

can be devised for self development at the school which has eliminated the

unnecessary stress on the pupils, especially due to the exam fear. The

reforms have made the school play ground thrive once again. Also the sports

festivals like Autumn - Winter Sports Meet and Khel Mahakumbh successfully

retained the spirit. The school also performed very well to attain excellence

in HSC exam (Std.12 Science Stream) which can be overviewed by the

glance on the last few pages.

We are extremely pleased that we were able to accomplish a little

more that we had in our vision since long in our hearts. Our team worked

hard tirelessly to carve out a new and modern look to our campus. We have

got well-furnished and sufficiently ventilated rooms for our Physics and

Chemistry labs. The students enjoy performing experiments in the well -

equipped labs upgrading their skills on research work and projects. The

students have found our new cafeteria as their favourite place during recess

hours enjoying the hygiene and the delicious menu daily. The premise is

now radiating with a glow with our newly constructed Air-Conditioned Seminar

Hall where the discourses of renowned personalities keep on 'Happening' .

The campus has promoted a pollution free and eco-friendly environment by

plantation of 300 trees and above 200 flowering plants spreading the

elegance and the fragrance. This new look has filled us with potent vibes

and has caught us all at 'AMITY' .

We are extremely grateful for your extended co-operation and best

wishes.

Why Mothers' Club ?

A mother has a significant and basic role in child's education. In process ofsocial upbringing of the child, the family has a very vital role to play. It is thefamily that instills in the child the standard by which he/she judges everythingthat he/she later receives from all social institutions. When they go the school,their attitude toward their teachers is formed on the basis of the education theyhave received at home. The selection of friends at school is also based on theway they were raised by their family. The starting point for the mother is thathow much importance and seriousness she feels for education. She shouldknow the importance of her role too. When a mother is aware of the importanceof education, one of the things she can do is to try to improve her educationalexperiences. She can be benefitted by the views and experiences of othermothers also.

The Mothers' Club was formed by the School with the following objectives:D To bring out the best from the mothers' within the short time available to

them. Their talents get a good encouragement and refining through the variousactivities conducted.

D To enable mothers' to understand the needs of their children better and thusto form a good and healthy relationship with them.

D To provide mothers with a supportive, nurturing environment, knowledgethrough shared experiences, friendship, and activities. They became moreconfident by sharing their experiences with mothers having kids of the sameage group. This enabled them to make friends who could share their anxietyand the solutions that worked best for them.

D To inspire and share mothers' talents collaboratively. The friendship andmutual respect amongst members are developed through active participationin all events. Every event, program and project is accomplished throughdedication, hard work, trial by error and a lot of laughter.

D To bring teachers and mothers nearer to each other. This would help parentsto understand and motivate the children to take part in curricular andco-curricular activities more and more. This might remove misunderstanding,if any, between home and school.

1


D The closeness between the two institutions, namely Home and School willmake strong bondage which may help to bring better and better results is allaspects of educations. The informal meetings will help to develop betterrelationship between school and home.

D To foster and nurture the warm family atmosphere with our institution. Ourmost important accomplishment ever since has been the formation of thelifelong friendships that will go beyond our children's school years. We are aproud family and families stick together through thick and thin.

Activities of the Mothers' Club

8th March '14 : International Women's day gives an opportunity to

celebrate acts of courage by extraordinary women around the world. The powerof women in different form is accepted in form of Asthalaxmi who is the giver of

prosperity, economy and safety of all.On the occasion of "Ineternational Women's Day" a very versatile and

inspiring personality Mrs. Bhavanaben Maheriya (Police Sub Inspector, Bharuch)was invited to talk to mothers. She expressed her views regarding the

empowerment of women and the kind of support they receive from governmentorganizations. She also enlightened them of the various rights they possess

but are ignorant about.This was followed up by a very satisfying cookery show using microwave by

Mrs. Falguni Desai (IFB Demonstrator) . She gave very easy and tastydemonstrations for a few recipes.

26th July '14 : Budding CreativityThe main objective of this activity was to enhance the mothers' creativity and

make them understand the importance of the 3 R'S..........REDUCE, REUSEand RECYCLE. To imbibe in children the importance of conserving the

resources and to make the best use of waste things in life, it was consideredbest to imbibe it in mothers' first who forms the first teacher.

This activity enabled the members to develop the ability to think and organize


the thinking to create something useful.Our teachers shared some of their experiments and experiences about

reusing waste material and also invited mothers' to share their ideas. Some ofthe more creativity was shared by :

Rashmika Teacher: Hanging sorter bag from old jeansShital Teacher: Flowers from polythene bags

Diptiben Maharana: Wall piece from broom (Mother of Harshdeep Maharana,Std. VI CBSE)

2nd Aug. '14 : Kitchen ChemistryOne of the many responsibilities that a mother handles is satisfying the

inexhaustible urge of savoring delicacies. However many new varieties shemasters, the search for still newer and better options seems never to die out.

With the oncoming Rakshabandhan festival, the need for some attractive newsweets and also something for the brunch or snack made us to decide on:

Chocolate making and Gift wrapping, healthy vegetable patties and colorfullydelicious mock tail to top it all. Mothers' enjoyed not only the demonstrations

but also relished the mesmerizing taste. They also shared a few quick biterecipes.

Mayuri Teacher: Chocolate making and gift wrappingRupa Teacher: Healthy vegetable pattice

Sapna Teacher: MocktailsMothers: Sharing oral recipe and various tips (Chinese Bhel)

23rd Aug. '14 : Ethnic DrapeSaree (Sari) is the India's national dress for females. The word sari is derived

from a Sanskrit word 'sati' which means 'strip of cloth'. The literal meaning ofsati holds good for sari as its nothing but a piece of unstitched cloth which

ranges from 4 yards to 9 yards. The size of the sari varies because of thedifferent styles that a sari is worn in India. Draping sari to adorn a person as per

the occasion has become an art.The various ways to dress a sari were first discussed with the participants.

Then on the day of the competition, mothers were given time to adorn themselvesin the best possible way. About 15 mother participants exhibited their unique


talent. It was seen that these participants not only assisted each other but alsohelped to give that final touch to their friends. This was the true spirit and it gave

us a feeling of accomplishment. Then these decorated stunning goddesseswere requested to walk on the ramp. Hesitant initially, the steps became bolder

as the crowd of teachers and children requested for a second and then eventhe third round to these participants. In the final round some of the participants

very confidently not only walked the ramp but also showcased a few steps offolk dance from the state that they represented, which resulted in incessant

applauds.The Judge for the day was Mrs. Jayshree Chaudhary (Amity B.Ed College

Lecturer). She gave very easy and valuable tips to be followed while consideringa sari for any occasion. She also explained the criteria for evaluation for the

competition and congratulated all for their exceedingly good performance. Theresults of the competition were as follows:

- 1st position : Jayaben Motawar (Mother of Motawar, Std. V, CBSE)- 2nd Position : Kokilaben Mehta (Mother of Kushal Mehta, Std. VIII, CBSE)

- 3rd Position : Diptiben Maharana (Mother of Harshdeep Maharana, Std. VICBSE)

30th Aug. '14 : W orkshop on 'Parenting for Peace'The Psychological workshop on the topic 'Parenting for peace' was arranged

for aiming at teaching a method for mothers to become even more proficientwith their feelings, to know the TRUTH about anger very often displayed by their

kids, to learn how to assertively express their thoughts, feelings, and resultingbehaviors.

The Psychologist, Dr. Mariam Vora, who is also a parent of our school, helpedus to accomplish our goal. Through her workshop she focused on developing

communication skills that they could utilize, and also guided them so that theycould be in synchrony with their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Mother participants later discussed their particular queries.13th Sep. '14 : Grooming WorkshopNo matter who you are or what you do, but the way you dress and present

yourself has a major impact on the impression you make on others. Children


are very particular and they immediately compare their mothers with their ideals.Thus our image can be an asset or a hindrance. To be truly in control of your life

and the way others think of you, you need to take your image seriously and dowhat you can to make it work for you. Grooming workshop was conducted by

Mrs. Dimple Dharamdasani (Amity Play Centre Teacher) wherein she sharedmany useful tips.

20th Sep. '14 : Aarti DecorationAs homemakers, mothers come up with very unique ways to express their

creativity. With approaching Navratri season we thought it would be a goodidea to refine their skills. Although we had planned for an expert to guide mothers

for decorating Aarti, it could not work out due to unavoidable circumstances.So we shared some videos giving demonstrations for the same. Also, various

ideas were shared by mothers and teachers for the decoration of Aarti thali.17th Oct. '14 : Rangoli CompetitionRangoli is a traditional Indian art of decorating the entrance of the house.

This ancient Indian art is believed to be originated from the Indian state

Maharashtra, and gradually got dispersed in to rest of the country.Rangoli isalso known as alpana, aripoma, or kolam. The word 'rangoli' is said to have

been derived from the words 'rang' and 'aavalli' which refers to a row of colours.A rangoli usually has a geometrical structure that is also symmetrical. The design

patterns often consist of natural elements like animals, flowers, etc. Withapproaching Diwali it was time to swing the colors and give them a shape to

appreciate the symmetry of nature. Our Mothers' Club was ready to color theworld of imagination with their creation.Through the mothers' club this competition

was arranged on a grand scale and participants from other schools were alsoinvited to take part.

The winners of the mothers' section were:- 1st position : Mrs. Rupal Rana (Mother of Krisha Rana, Std. LKG)

- 2nd position : Mrs. Diptiben Maharana (Mother of Harshdeep Maharana,Std.VI CBSE)

- 3rd position : Mrs. Lopamudra Panda (Mother of Adyasha Panda,Std.II-CBSE)


Creative Mothers

I work as an Art and Craft teacher in Amity school. My main aim is to bring

out the creativity of students. I give them one object and a week time to explore

it as much as they can. Many times they come up with extraordinary creativity.

When I enquire about the source of such creativity, the most common reply I get

is, 'my mom'. Soon, I got this opportunity from my friend to give a demonstration

on "Best out of Waste" in Mother's club. I felt it as an opportunity because it

gave me a chance to interact with mothers and understand them better. This

helped me to understand the kids completely in a different perspective.

To utilize the time to its fullest I had prepared 4 -5 craft objects. After a formal

introduction our session started. In the beginning a little hesitation prevailed on

both the sides, but slowly they overcame it by the inquisitiveness and curiosity

as we moved from one piece of art to another. While I gave the demonstrations,

many innovative ideas and tips began pouring out from their side that even I,

being a craft teacher, was unaware of. I was teaching them one item and in

return I was supplemented with 4-5 new tips for betterment. I informed them

about the commercial aspect of the things made. If two or three mothers would

jointly work on this, they could start a small shop and utilize their time in the best

possible way. The best reaction I received was, when a mother said "I knew it,

but I never thought of it in this way".

Seeing the happiness and satisfaction on their face, I realized that in our

country's most of the women spend their entire lives for their family only. Their

world revolves around their husband and children, in their upbringing, taking

care of the house and so on. In becoming a perfect home maker she spares

time for everyone, except for herself. Mother's club is a place where they can

make the most of their time for themselves. Mother's club gives them space

and chance to learn something new which they can experiment in their family

and receive appreciation. This one hour gives them time to realize their goals

which they could achieve but they never did.


When I went to take the demonstration I was thinking on how an hour would

pass. But this hour passed so swiftly that I did not seem to realize. This hour left

a big impact on my life. I went there as trainer but I came out as a gainer. The

best thing I learned was (harsh truth) that being a professional woman, I get an

excuse to avoid small little things in preference to my profession or make an

excuse of profession. A homemaker is employed for 24 hours a day without an

excuse. In small moments gained from a little planning and time management

lays a storehouse of happiness.

- Mrs. Kanchan Agrawal (Art Teacher, Amity School - CBSE)

Report on Psychological Workshop

Being a mother and member of the Mothers Club I got an opportunity to

attend the Psychological workshop conducted by expert psychologist Dr.Mariam

Vohra. Working as a teacher for about 18 yrs now, I was wondering if there was

anything more to be learnt about kids that I was not yet aware of. However, I

know that parenting is a vast science and that not every child will dance to the

same tune. Teaching in pre-primary is very similar to parenting.

This workshop helped me in many ways. Dr. Mariam gave very useful tips on

the topic 'Parenting for peace'. I realized how, in the long run, I had gradually

begin to overlook some very small basic techniques, as she discussed the

problems faced by every parent today. Few experiences from my past flashed

before my eyes. With changing times, single child and nuclear families, we in

school face a lot of hyperactive kids. Although I tackle them successfully and

take good care of them. I got to know some exercises and meditation

techniques also to calm them down. I implemented them in my class and truly,

the results were much more satisfying than earlier. There were many more other

tips like the right way to talk to children and convince children without heated

arguments.

A Positive T ransformation

A school plays an important role in the holistic development of the child. For

parents its the biggest challange to provid the best educational enovironment

to the child.

Every parent wants to give all that they could get for their child, which they

couldn't make it possible in their days due to some circumstances. After joining

Amity School, within a short span, I was introduced to the Mother's Club. I

hesitatingly joined it, because I was very apprehensive about talking to teachers,

about what they would think of me and similar other feelings pinned me. I decided

to be a silent spectator to the activities and learn as much as possible so that I

could give my children a good environment. But gradually as the activities

proceeded, I not only got completely involved in them, but also got to know the

teachers better. I realized that I could talk and share my problems with them.

This helped me a lot and I learnt many things from these activities. Now, I feel

more confident that not only this school develops my child but also their parents.

Exploring the New 'Me'

We frequently have P.T.M. in school where in parents and teachers discuss

the progress of the child and the way in which their perfromance can be

improved. I always experienced a great deal of nervousness and hesitation

whenever I had to attend a P.T.M. in school. I used to observe how well dressed

and confident the other mothers were.

In one such P.T.M. the teacher announced that the mothers who are interested

to join the Mothers' club should register their names. She also introduced us to

some activities that were planned for the first semester. I instantly felt that I

wanted to join the Club as I was very good at some of the activities and the

other activities arranged by Mothers' club were those which I was thinking of

learning from quiet some time now. The timing also suited me very well. But

then, I felt reluctant to join the club. Then a few other mothers, who are also my

friends, encouraged me to attend it once and advised that if I felt uncomfortable

then I could discontinue it. Hence, I decided to give it a try.

In the first meeting, I could see that my hesitation were baseless, it was really

a fun to be a part of this club. I began to wait for every Saturday, when we were

supposed to meet. I used to get up early and finish my daily chores, so as not to

be late for the class. Slowly, I began to learn many new things. The best was

that I made many new friends including teachers. My family noticed the change

in 'me'. They began to appreciate my newly adopted change in the behaviour. I

felt elated and encouraged. The interaction with other mothers helped me to

understand time management. Now I was able to take care of my family

effeciently and also manage time for few of my new hobbies.

The grooming workshop helped me to polish my personality even more. Many

tips were given for self care and those too from very inexpensive homemade

things. Mothers' club has been proved very helpful and this has enabled me to

develop my inner and outer self as well.

Computer T raining Programmefor Mother's Club

We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.

The members of our mother's club who joined our hands to learn something out

of the box. A mother is a person who acts in multiple character at a time in life,

but in the long run she always neglects herself and remains ignorant about many

things in the world. It also did happen, that she lost the respect and support

from her own family. Hence finally our mothers opened up a new door from all

her priorities and there was a fire in them to make themselves technology literate.

As now a days in all the fields there is the use of computers widely, the only set

of people who does not use computers for the ease of work is the housewives

or mothers. That doesn't mean, that they are deprived of using it. Bringing a

change to this notion, the Mother's club of Amity Parivaar thought of educating

the mothers with the knowledge of computer technology. Very first day, when

the mothers entered the Computer Lab they were scared to touch even move

the mouse. Many mothers were not having computer at their homes but they

tried to practice at their friend's house. Hence she made her own respectful

stand in the family and even started helping her husband with his official work

and children with their studies.

It was my privilege that I got an opportunity to teach the mothers and making

them feel comfortable using this technology. Within a span of two months they

learnt the Basics of computer and usage of Internet.

The learning of this technology has made them more touched with the

changing world. They now became so much used to it, that they started using

computers for teaching their children, knowing medical ,beauty tips ,preparing

different continental as well as Indian dishes. This technology has helped

mothers to change themselves to super Moms, with worldwide knowledge in

just click away. Finally I could say that they climbed their Everest succefully.

The Art of Successful Parenting

Parenting requires countless sacrifices and continuous hard work. Being a

parent is demanding. Fortunately, there are many rewards: the pride of

achievement, the miracle of growth and development; the warmth and attention.

If your children's misbehaviour is depriving you of these rewards, you are being

cheated. Do not let their misbehaviour interfere. You are being denied the

pleasure of parenting. You deserve to enjoy your children.

HOW TO ENJOY BEING A PARENT

You cannot accuse children of being boring. They will always think of something

you are unprepared to handle. Many parents avoid their children to escape the

stress and irritated feelings. They send their children outside to play so they do

not have to deal with them. They cannot wait until the children go to bed. They

see their children as a burden and resent them. They hope for the day when

their children leave home. This is tragic.

All parents want to enjoy their children but few get the enjoyment they deserve.

It is easy to appreciate your children when they are co-operative and well

behaved. You can spend your time and energy on pleasant endeavours. You do

not have to yell and argue. It is difficult to enjoy your children when they misbehave.

Misconduct creates tension. It can be avoided. Take time periodically to review

these points.

TEN PRINCIPLES TO PRACTICE

1) Reward correct behaviour, not misbehaviour. Reinforce polite requests,

not whining, teasing and tantrums. Reinforce calm discussions, not

arguments and power struggles.

2) Think before you talk. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Follow

through. Give yourself visual reminders. Reward yourself for being

consistent.

3) Expect good behaviour from your children. Children must know what you

expect from them and what they can expect from you. When children can

predict how you behave in given situations, they make better choices.


4) Children believe what you tell them. Coach your children on ways to be

successful. Teach your children that effort is essential to success. Use

plenty of encouragement. When you encourage your children, they will

see that you have faith and confidence in them. Encouragement will help

your children face situations with more confidence.

5) Anticipate problems. Tell them the rules in advance. Be specific. Be

reasonable. Once you recognize a misbehaviour pattern, establish a plan.

Spotlight success. Provide support and encouragement.

6) Use punishments that teach decision-making and accountability. Children

survive reasonable punishments, such as restriction and taking away

privileges. Do not punish when you are angry. Do not punish to get even.

Relate punishment to your child's decisions. This teaches responsibility.

7) Begin teaching responsibility and decision making when your children

are young. Prepare your children to live in the real world. Children need

limits and structure. Children see these qualities as an expression of your

love and concern.

8) Love your children regardless of their behaviour. Focus on your children's

positive qualities. Teach your children to seek self reward-to feel good

about doing the right thing. Look for praiseworthy decisions. Teach your

children to like themselves. Teach them to understand their weaknesses

and accept their faults. Use yourself as an example. They will learn to

admit their shortcomings to others. As a result, their weakness will have

less power in their lives.

9) Do not let your children control you. Be strong. Control your own behaviour

to be a good model. Your children learn from you.

10) Provide a healthy and pleasant family atmosphere. Emphasize each

other's strengths. Accept each other's weaknesses. Talk about values and

goals. Your children will learn to come to you with their problems. This will

prove very helpful when they are teenagers.

Besides these points every need promise three things to become successful.


ACCEPT NEW IDEASPromise to have courage to be open and accept new ideas. If what you are

doing is working, stick with it. If not, then have the courage to try something new.

HAVE PATIENCEPromise to have plenty of patience. If your child is twelve years old, he has

had twelve years to develop his behaviour patterns. Give your child time to

change. This is where most parents fail. One-minute photos to 30 second time

ups to microwave dinners, mobile phones, all these instruments of technology

have taught us impatience. We believe that because we are trying a new idea,

changes should take place overnight. A few days is not long enough to test a

new idea. Some methods take weeks to show improvement. Be patient.

PRACTICEPromise to practice. Every parent must practice the ideas that suit him and

his children. No matter who you are, what position you hold, how much you

earn, when you are at home, you are Mom or Dad. You get tested just like any

other father or mother. So you need to practice, too. If you are willing to readabout new idea but do not practice them, then do not think your children's

behaviour will improve automatically. Make a list of behaviours that you need to

practice more, behaviours you need to practice less, and behaviours that are

appropriate and should be continued.

CONCLUSIONA well-behaved child is not the result of luck. Be encouraged if children learn

behaviour, then children can learn to change behaviour. Parenting behaviour is

also learned. Good parenting skills do not appear suddenly and instinctively.

You can learn to be a more successful parent.

Again, you have a right to enjoy being a parent. Love is essential, but it does

not guarantee good behaviour. Misbehaviour is not pleasant. Do not let your

children's misbehaviour keep you from enjoying them. Take action. Plan tochange the misbehaviour and then have fun. Laugh and play and get involved

with your children. It will keep you feeling young. Always remember they are the

most valuable part of your life. (Kind courtesy: "The Art of Successful Parenting"

Amity School is Awarded with British CouncilInternational School Award 2013-17"

The British Council International School Award (ISA) is a benchmarkingscheme that accredits school as having an outstanding level of support for:

a. Nurturing global citizenship in young peopleb. Enriching teaching and learningISA was introduced in India in the year 2003 and over 600 schools across

the country have joined this exciting journey since then. School across the worldare grappling with the challenge of providing relevant education in face of rapidtechnological advancements that are changing the way we live and work. It iswidely accepted that the traditional chalk and talk method oriented teachingcannot adequately prepare young people for the future. A change towardsprocess and value oriented experiential learning is not easy. Sustainable,transformational change is hard to bring about by discrete workshop or evenextended staff training away from classroom where follow-up on action is difficultto ascertain, achievements difficult to measure and success rarely celebrated.The ISA approach to school development is holistic and mirrors the approachwe are encouraging teachers to use with their students. It is rigorous andevidence based. ISA is a leadership challenge and fosters teambuilding,innovation, and project management. Putting together the Action Plan and thePortfolio of evidence encourages collaboration and critical thinking. Keepingthe staff motivated and enthusiastic through the year puts the head teacher andISA coordinator's leadership skills to test. There is little doubt that goodleadership is second only to good teaching in raising standards in schools.

Achieving the award is not the end of the journey. The school and teachersinvolved in ISA may remain engaged with the British Council programmesbeyond the assessment year. Outstanding coordinators have the opportunity tobecome British Council School Ambassadors, join the ISA assessment paneland co-facilitate workshops.

Gujarat Council of Science City (GCSC) working under the Department of

Science & Technology, Govt. of India organized an orientation programme on

the National & International science Olympiad for the meritorious students of

Std. 9 & 10 on 28th July 2014 at Science City Ahmedabad from 10.00 am to

5.00pm.

14 students from Std. IX & X along with two teachers Shrutika Pawaday &

Sunita Panda attended this programme. Students from different schools of

Ahmedabad participated in this workshop. Chief organizer of Junior Science

Olympiad Mr. P. K. Joshi was the resource person.

The main motto of this workshop was to motivate the students for their

enthusiastic participation in National Science Olympiad . Mr. P. K. Joshi gave

information regarding different stages of the Junior Science Olympiad and the

students selected in each stage were given medal as per the criterias.

Mr. Joshi quoted that bookish knowledge alone will not help the students to

achieve the goal and they should always try to think out of the box. He explained

this point to the students with some sample questions and guided them how to

get correct answers. He also provided more information about other Olympiads

like Physics,Maths,Chemistry, Biology, Earth science & Astronomy.

Students also enjoyed the 3D movie as well as a movie on Global Warming.

Every year students from standard XI & XII are appearing in the competitive

exam IAPT. But such participation is not found in JSO as they are not aware

about it. After attending this workshop many students enrolled their name and

we are expecting more participation in the coming years. This year 28 students

of Std. X participated in Juniour Science Olympiad (JSO) which was conducted

on 23rd November '14.

Report on 4 th National Level InspireScience Exhibition at New Delhi

We have been perceiving since long for the notable performances with alldiligence and effective academic standards. Since the inception we haveresearched for and wide to explore new vistas and avenues to upgrade teachingmethodologies. Our pedagogue believes in motivation the students to ariseand perform for higher levels. Due to which our students participate in challengingcompetitive exams like Ramanujan Maths Tests, AMIT and various Olympiadsregularly. The performance in various educational fairs has also been rewardingto increase the confidence and potential of our students till date. It is a habitnow to prepare for projects, design models and learn presentation skills. Thesesoft skills are used appropriately in Primary Section particularly at the levels ofBRC (Bhrugurishi Sankul) during Science Fair. The students of Secondary andHigher Secondary also enrich their talents, while performing for SVS (ShalaVikas Sankul) and QDC (Quality Control Cluster). But rarely, it happened forthe State Level and National Level to our estimation.

Exceptionally, we were determined this year to modify and correct our errorto make it for the higher platform. This was essential so that our students couldhave one feather in the cap. Previously in 2012-13, Mahajan Vaibhav had theexperience of representing the model "Nuclear Hazard" at New Delhi. Thatwas the stepping stone and thus, we prepared for few more to discover the foot


prints of success.On 25th Aug. '14, the institution was entrusted with the duty to arrange for

SVS Science Fair for the South Zone cluster in the series for this district. Theinstitution received this opportunity for the second time, as priority in 1993-94.The students from various schools exhibited 151 projects based on Maths,Science and Eco-friendliness. Our two projects namely Sky Light (by ModiVishal R., Std. 9th , GM) and Hi-tech Tanker (by Modi Apurva P., Std. XI) wereselected to be presented at INSPIRE, an entity of Department of Science andTechnology, Govt. of India. INSPIRE stands for Innovation in Science Pursuit forInspired research. Since last four years, the entity is active in arranging suchfairs at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. Also, the project Tidal Energy (by MehtaBhaumik and Bhatt Pranav, Std. 11th, GM) was to be represented at the NationalLevel.

We were happy to find a little space, though at present in the least. It wasmomentous to find our students, fixing their glance on many projects, at thehuge Pragati Maidan with every step, from one stall to the another, they extendedtheir hands with the budding scientists and truly, wanted to catch hold of thegenuine vibes. It was sure that, finally they would enlarge their network of friendsand a commitment happening for the cause of the nation. How frankly they talkedabout their learning experience which they had while designing the models andeased out the flaws for the interest. The dynamics in reflection were sparkingthem with wits and transcending the limits on that day. Though 868 projectswere on exhibits, the students rushed and gaind the readiness in perception.Few of the projects which they found so difficult during the formative years wereeasily understood and grasped. Oh, they whispered on an enquiry about theupcoming technological trends to discover one on their own, too. These smallsteps measuring the quantum legs, were not able to reveal all in words, but,definitely, saw it in happening. They were out of the illusions of a small town andits periphery embracing the possibilities as big as the galaxy with both thehands open. This opportunity was an eye-opener for the team, found with awish and the willingness. "How could the steps advancing for knowledge bestopped at the narrow domestic walls - we know now…"

- Ms. Apurva Modi (Std. XI-Science)


Clean India - Green India

"Swach Bharat - Swach V idyalaya""simulation is more important than independence "

- Mahatma GandhiHe made cleanliness and sanitation an integral part of gentian way of living.

His mission was total sanitation for all.Enlighting and continuing the ideas and dreams of Gandhiji our Hon'ble Prime

Minister Shri Narendra Modi amd Hon'ble Union Minister of HRD Smt. SmritiZubin Irani have launched a mission "Swach Bharat Swach Vidyalaya" onBapu's 145th Birthday. This mission highlighted the cleanliness of the Indianschools which marked the tidy classrooms, proper sanitation facilities, drinkingwater, hand washing and soap facility in the school compound for the use ofchildren as well as for the teacher.

Our school shouldred a great responsibility for creating an ideal environmentby imbibing the true quality of citizenship by taking efforts to enforce the missionof "Swach Bharat Swach Vidyalaya". Our principal sir Mr. Prakash Mehta trulybelieves that "Charity begins at home" and our school is our home; so we allthe students along with the teachers started "Swach Bharat Abhiyan" on 2nd

Oct. '14 by 10 o'clock. Every one was allotted with different duties; studentswere allotted with classes, assembly hall, play ground and the entrance road ofthe school. Henece not a single piece of area was left unclean. This Abhiyancontinued till 1 o'clock and then we students were provided with snacks andwe all went back home.

There was an excitement and different confidence while contributing in"Swach Bharat Abhiyan". Yes, we all were tired but a relief and satisfactionboomed in ourselves which made us feel that what we did today was just astart; we need to continue and make our India; Clean India - Green India .Staring from our schools, colonies, societies, streets we need to make ourIndia clean and Green. I really thank 'Amity School' from bottom of my heart formaking us a part of "Swach Bharat Abhiyan" After what we did in our schoolson 2nd Oct. '14; we can proudly say that we are responsible students and citizensof India.

- Apurva A. Kumar (Std. X-B, CBSE)


Teachers T raining Program : Effective Learning

The education is always considered to be perceived in Grand Totality. Hence

the Central Board of Secondary Educations keeps on upgrading the Principals

of different institutions from time to time. One such interesting workshop was

arranged at Surat on the role of Principals as "Instructional leaders" Mrs. Reena

Tiwary (Principal, Amity School - CBSE, Bharuch) and Mrs. Shalin John

(Principal, Amity International School, Bharuch) attended the Workshop. The

objective was to make the Principals aware about the academic necessities

and guide the educators for effective classroom teaching. The core of the

concept should be practically accepted by the leaner so that the life is enriched.

To upgrade the quality of teaching learning process Mrs. Reena Tiwari, the

principal of CBSE Section and Mrs. Shalin John, the principal of Amity

International School had conducted a training program in Amity School, Bharuch

on 7th November. 2014. The training for the educators aims to provide an insight

into what motivate people to do their best. The approach is experimental which

includes various activities followed by reflection exercise to absorb the essence

of the modules as a part of this training.

To procure new effective teaching methodology, the session started

with the activity, based on some different object which was already given to the

each group. Some sorts of object like cloth clip, striker, potato, chalk, lemon

were given to assume about their floating and sinking quality. Then the activity

was executed by every group. During this activity, it was observed that the

concept of sinking-floating was misunderstood even by the educators. The

learning outcome was that the sinking-floating aspect is proportional to the shape

and the size of an object. This relates with the proposed changes i in present

scenario. The objective behind this innovation was that teacher should have

done every experiment that children are expected to do , so that they could

have first -hand experience of the skills and difficulties involved. In this way it

helps the learner to grasp the concept of the topic.

After the activity, the teachers were trained about the four orbits of teaching.


It was explained by four different videos that how the teaching learning process

can be enhanced while learning. The four modules pointed about the role of a

teacher as a listener, as a coach, as a presenter and as a orchestrator. On the

interaction about the videos seen,the teacher understood the challenges of a

learner and the skills of teaching to be upgraded from time to time.The

motivation in the right direction can be most important asset on which the teacher

must work out.

The most exhilarating activity was conducted at last. Some straws and pins

were given to make the most beautiful, the strongest and the tallest tower. Every

mature identity has a child within him- it is truly reflected in the activity. After the

activity, the 6th group was declared as the winner who guided again the 5th

group as they were lacking behind to complete the task. This activity was

focussed for the teachers particularly to engage them with their peers so that

they come to one common decision by interaction and discussion. Thus, in the

same way ,the student also work in a group and actualise the principles of

collaborative learning. The freedom to raise the questions at any time kept

arousing the interest and the curiosity..

Finally the training session ended with a good note through a video where it

guided that the most important thing in teaching learning process is the

'Patience' . The more patient a teacher is the more he/she can provide

knowledge and motivate a student. Overall , the whole session turned into an

innovative contemporary and unique integration of various national and

international methodologies.- Mrs. Reena Tiwary (Principal, Amity School-CBSE)

Amity School Parivaar expresses a deepcondolence for a loving child PRASHARLAKSHIT HARISH , Std. IX-CBSE whopassed away unexpectedly on 24th October2014. We shall always remember him forhis cheerful memories.

Teacher's T raining Program : Joyous Maths

The subject 'Mathematics' is quite challenging in all means. We find it hard

to understand, solve it and also teach. To maintain the constant touch with the

present system we have to take an extra effort to understand the simplicity of

the subject with passion and keen observation. There are ways by which we

could make the connection of the subject with children easily without letting

their interest die out. That is what Mr. Jose Paul made possible in front of us

Jose Paul is Ex. Director of Educational Planning Group at St. Xavier's School

Delhi. He is the founder member and coordinator of this group and dedicated

towards the improvement of the quality of teaching learning process at the school

level.

Mr. Jose Paul made us understand the case of and fan of mathematics is

various ways. The first activity that he made us do is to make us know there is

maths is everything. The dress we wear, the accessories we use and everything

we do daily which was new to our knowledge and also made us more curious.

The second activity he made us do is understand how many hand shake we

could give between 6 people which he demonstrated effectively. The third activity

he made us do is classroom teaching. He asked us to encourage students to

improve their creativity and help them find maths is their own field of interest

which would arouse their curiosity more. The fourth acitivity was making a

protractor from a paper by simply folding a sheet of paper which was really

interesting and simple. Later he also taught us how to make a rombus pentagon,

hexagon from paper folding. Lastly he gave us inputs on how to teach complex

concepts like rations, fractions, percentage and decimals by interconnecting

all the concepts together in pictorial form and making it easy for them to

understand all the concepts by comparing between each others.

- Mrs. Rosewin Kurien (Teacher, Amity School-CBSE)
