RPS Gurugram 89 - Activities (Junior)

Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” The Bhagavad Gita. Yoga in daily life is a system of practice consisting of eight levels- physical, mental, social and spiritual health. When the body is physically healthy, the mind is clear, focused and stress is under control. To put this into practice, a special assembly was organized on Thursday, April 25 2019 to teach main asanas of yoga in order to revitalize the body and refresh the mind. Students felt energetic throughout the course of the day after the power packed session of yoga.

" Never doubt that a small group of thoughtfully committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." – Margaret Mead A special assembly was conducted on Earth Day on  Monday April 22 2019. A skit was performed by students from classes III -V depicting the importance of the Mother Nature and how we must respect her to cherish the life bestowed by her.

"Look deep into nature and you will understand everything better." - Einstein Earth Day is a Day that is supposed to inspire more awareness and appreciation for the Earth's Natural Environment. As a mark of respect for this day, Students of Pre-Primary - Class II celebrated Earth Day on Monday April 22,2019 at RPS International School, Sector 89 Gurugram with great Enthusiasm. The younger children sowed a few seeds in the soil in disposable cups and were happy to see them sprout and grow into small plants.Through this activity the children were taught the importance of growing plants to sustain the environment and for a better livelihood. The idea is to build a generation of children who will become environmental caretakers.

Children have an innate love for stories. Stories create magic and a sense of wonder at the world. A good story telling session can do wonders to a child’s imagination and can really work at enhancing his/her expression. It was this thought that led us to arrange a storytelling session for class  IIA on Tuesday April 23,2019 at RPS International School,sec-89. The storyteller Mr.Sanjeev Abhilashi,  who is very creative, used mediums like facial expressions, voice modulation to keep the children engaged and interested throughout the session. Students enjoyed the impersonations of different characters and seemed transported into an imaginary world! The lit up faces and mesmerized looks spoke volumes about the interest it had generated in the children. Their feedback soon after the session was ‘brilliant, epic, fantastic, amazing and…….fabulous'.  Every happy memory created for children is the biggest treasure for me - said by School Principal,Dr.Roopa Marwaha Bhalla.
